Polar pack ice is snow which has been compacted into solid chunks of ice. It is found in the most extreme Northern and Southern regions of the planet.
No. Ice is simply solid water, which is polar.
A glacial pack, often referred to as a pack ice or ice pack, is a large area of floating ice that forms in polar regions as a result of the freezing of seawater. This ice can vary in thickness and extent, depending on seasonal temperatures and ocean currents. Glacial packs play a crucial role in the Earth's climate system by reflecting sunlight and influencing ocean circulation. Additionally, they provide important habitats for various marine species and are indicators of climate change.
yes polar ice caps are freshwater
Ice cream is a mixure, not a compound.
Global Warming is a threat to Polar Ice. Because of rising temperatures in the polar regions, the ice caps are melting. Scientists predict that in a few decades from now, the polar ice caps would have fully melted.

Pack Ice
Polar Bears are native to the pack/sea Ice of the Arctic. There are therefore to be found in the countries which border this pack Ice, including Greenland, Norway (Svalbard), Canada, Alaska etc.
Ice appears in nature in forms of snowflakes, hail, icicles, glaciers, pack ice, and entire polar ice caps.
The polar bear is depended on the arctic ice pack to hunt seals. With the disappearance of the ice pack polar bears are quickly becoming extinct. I have seen a polar bear attempt to prey on Walrus and get mangled by the tusks of the great beasts. There is a small population of Polar Bears surviving at Moose Factory Manitoba living off of the town's garbage dump.
Yes, global warming has reduced the ice pack on which they hunt seals.
Polar bears do not live in the ocean but do swim some in the Arctic Ocean. They live in the Arctic where they hunt seals on the ice pack.
why does the polar bear helps the polar ice
In the ice pack and pack ice regions, primarily phytoplankton, microscopic algae, and ice algae thrive. These organisms can survive in the harsh conditions by utilizing sunlight that penetrates the ice and are crucial to the polar food web. Some macroalgae, like certain species of brown algae, can also be found in the less dense sea ice margins, contributing to the ecosystem. Overall, plant life in these areas is adapted to extreme cold and limited light availability.
Polar bears main habitat is on offshore pack ice, and along coasts and island of the Arctic region which is found around the Earth's North Pole.
The loss of the arctic ice pack is a loss of their hunting 'grounds'. They are starving to death.
