water, and anything that gets trapped inside them.
As the glaciers and icecaps melt they will make the oceans rise and it's all because of global warming. Sea ice is in the water already so its melting will not affect sea levels.

Yes, during the Carboniferous period (i.e. the time when most of our coal resources formed) the levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere were much much higher than they are now. This produced a greenhouse effect so strong that not only did the glaciers melt away but there was also no polar icecaps!
Iceberg water is typically freshwater because it comes from glaciers that originated from precipitation. This water freezes into icebergs before breaking off from the glaciers. Although icebergs may contain some salt on their surfaces from contact with seawater, the majority of the iceberg is freshwater.
most of it is stuck in icecaps in the Arctic and Antarctic i hope this helps you :)
A glacier and an ice cap are two different things so there are no glaciers called icecaps.
Frozen. In glaciers and icecaps.

About 70% of Earth's fresh water is found in glaciers and icecaps
Glaciers that are sometimes called icecaps include those that cover mountain summits or form vast layers of ice that spread out over large areas of land, such as the Greenland Ice Sheet or the Antarctic Ice Sheet. These icecaps are characterized by their expansive coverage and thickness, and they play a crucial role in global climate regulation by reflecting sunlight and storing freshwater.
Oceans contain most of the world's water.Frozen icecaps and glaciers contain most of the world's fresh water.
As the glaciers and icecaps melt they will make the oceans rise and it's all because of global warming. Sea ice is in the water already so its melting will not affect sea levels.
These are glaciers that cover a large area but have a relatively low profile. They are often found in polar regions or high mountains and are commonly referred to as ice caps due to their shape and size.
In the Polar ice caps, about 69% of the worlds fresh water is in them.

Raleigh IceCaps was created in 1991.
Raleigh IceCaps ended in 1998.
