It wouldn't kill us all, but it would create so many problems that many people would die and the remainder would suffer a severe decline in quality of life. Antarctica will not completely melt though in any of our lifetimes, and no one is claiming that it will. Some of it will and is melting, and that will cause enough problems.
What else can I help you with?
If antarctica melts how does that effect England?
If Antarctica melts, it could contribute to sea level rise globally, leading to increased flooding in coastal areas, including parts of England. The melting ice could also disrupt ocean currents, potentially impacting the climate in England and beyond.
How can an increase in the annual melt season in Antarctica have global effects?
Most of the ice on Antarctica is land ice, so when it melts it raises sea levels, globally, which means all around the world.
How much snow is there in Antarctica compared to Arctic?
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.
Why does the Antarctic ice not melt?
Ice melts above 32 degrees F -- 0 degrees C, and the temperature in Antarctica doesn't reach that level on most of the continent.
How is water in Antarctica as solid liquid and gas?
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.
If antarctica melts would it be enough water to flood the world?
No. If all the ice on Antarctica melts, it will raise sea levels round the world by 60 metres (200 feet).
What effects and impact do ice melts have on Antarctica?
it doesn't say
Where will you live when Antarctica melts?
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.
Why should you look after antarctica?
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.
How have the industrialized nations affected Antarctica?
industrialized nations put pollution into the atmosphere which causes global warming which melts ice caps in antarctica ;)
How is melting in Antarctica an issue?
When ice melts the animals lose their homes and eventually die
What will happen to the world if the Antarctica ice cover melts?
a lot of artic animals will be extinct
If antarctica melts how does that effect England?
If Antarctica melts, it could contribute to sea level rise globally, leading to increased flooding in coastal areas, including parts of England. The melting ice could also disrupt ocean currents, potentially impacting the climate in England and beyond.
What happens when Ice breaks off from the edges of Antarctica?
it will float to warmer Waters and eventually melts.
What is ice that forms and then melts seasonally around the coast of Antarctica?
It's just called sea ice. If it melts every year, the term is "first year ice".
Is it possible to get back wax after it melts?
yes
What will Antarctica be if all the ice melts?
Antarctica will be a rocky continent with mountains and lakes. The huge weight of the present ice cap is pushing the land down. If all the ice melts the land will rise up by 1500 feet or 450 metres. So the global sea level rise of 200 feet (60 metres), will not flood Antarctica.
