What is the Melting point at 16404 feet?
The melting point of ice decreases with altitude due to lower atmospheric pressure. At 16,404 feet (approximately 5,000 meters), the melting point of ice is around -2.5°C (27.5°F) instead of the standard 0°C (32°F) at sea level. However, this can vary slightly based on local environmental conditions.
What is the difference in melting a glacier and iceberg?
They are both ice and they may both be melting. But the iceberg is already displacing water, so by melting does little to raise the sea level. When a glacier melts, the additional water does raise the sea level somewhat. This would be particularly true when major ice caps such as the Greenland ice cap, melt.
How does melting points and boiling compare to the characteristics of seal level of 0 celsius and 100 celsius?
At sea level, 1 atm, the melting point of water is 0 oC and the boiling point of water is 100 oC.
What part of the earth is melting because of global warming?
Glaciers and ice caps are melting. The ice over Greenland is melting and so is the Arctic sea ice.
What degree does ice start to melt in Celsius?
Zero degree (if we talk about destilled or reasonably pure water), for sea ice it's typically more around -4 degrees.
What is the melting point of water at sea level and what happens to this point at altitudes above sea level?
i think you mean what is the melting point of ice as water cant melt. the melting point of ice at sea level is 100 degres celsius
What cause sea level to rise?
Global Warming and the melting of ice.
Why is sea ice melt does not contribute directly to sea level?
Sea ice is already in the water, so melting it doesn't affect sea levels.
What are the reasons for the melting of glacial ice and why the sea level rises?
Global warming (caused by our burning of fossil fuels) is expanding the ocean water and melting glacial ice. Thie melted ice also adds to the sea level rise.
Why would ice glaciers but not melting ice shelves cause a rise in the sea level?
Ice glaciers contribute to sea level rise because they are land-based ice that, when melted, adds water to the ocean. In contrast, melting ice shelves, which float on the ocean, do not directly raise sea levels since they are already displacing water. The melting of ice shelves can indirectly influence sea level rise by allowing glaciers to flow more rapidly into the ocean, but their direct contribution to sea level change is negligible compared to that of land glaciers.
What is the melting point of sea ice?
The value is variable in different regions; the lowest value is 2,6 0C.
What is the Melting point at 16404 feet?
The melting point of ice decreases with altitude due to lower atmospheric pressure. At 16,404 feet (approximately 5,000 meters), the melting point of ice is around -2.5°C (27.5°F) instead of the standard 0°C (32°F) at sea level. However, this can vary slightly based on local environmental conditions.
Is the arctic melting and are sea and oceans?
Yes the arctic ice caps are melting and the level of the worlds oceans is slowly rising.
How does Antarctica's melting ice affect global sea levels?
Antarctica's melting ice will flow into the sea. This will raise sea levels around the world. There is enough ice on Antarctica to raise sea levels by 60 metres (200 feet).
Both melting and boiling points of water at sea level?
Melting/Freezing point : 0 oC or 273.15 Kelvin Boiling point: 100 oC or 373.15 Kelvin
When the sea level rises does it get colder or warmer?
colder because it is caused by the ice caps melting
What has coursed the sea level's to rise?
global warming has caused the polar ice caps to melt, this has caused sea level to rise
