If Antarctica melts, it will effect us because the worlds sea level will rise, can cause floods in London from the river Thames.
Most of the ice on Antarctica is land ice, so when it melts it raises sea levels, globally, which means all around the world.
The Arctic is a sea bed: Antarctica is a continent, and a desert with less than five percent humidity. Snow in the Arctic collects on sea ice or melts when it falls into the Arctic Ocean. There is no snow in Antarctica, rather ice crystals that blow in the constant wind.
It melts the glaciers making the sea levels rise
Ice melts above 32 degrees F -- 0 degrees C, and the temperature in Antarctica doesn't reach that level on most of the continent.
In Antarctica, water exists as a solid in the form of ice, a liquid in the form of meltwater from glaciers and snow, and a gas in the form of water vapor in the atmosphere. The extreme cold temperatures in Antarctica keep water predominantly in its solid state, but during the summer months, some ice melts to form liquid water.
No. If all the ice on Antarctica melts, it will raise sea levels round the world by 60 metres (200 feet).
it doesn't say
If Antarctica melts then all coastal cities will be submerged to a depth of 60 metres (200 feet). People will move to higher ground and live much more simply than before.
England is different to Antarctica in being slightly warmer for parts of the year.
melts.
There are various reasons that we should try and look after Antarctica. For example, if the ice sheet that covers 98% of Antarctica melts a lot then the sea level will rise.
Afraid not.
industrialized nations put pollution into the atmosphere which causes global warming which melts ice caps in antarctica ;)
When ice melts the animals lose their homes and eventually die
a lot of artic animals will be extinct
i don't think algae does effect antarctica...except from turning the water green!
no
