What would happen in New York state if all the polar ice melted?
If all the ice melted in the North Polar regions, there would be no rise in sea levels, because Arctic ice is in the water already.If all the ice melted in the South Polar regions, in Antarctica, then sea levels around the world would rise 70 metres, or 230 feet. Every coastal city round the world would be flooded, including New York State.
What is polar tide?
Polar tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the Moon and the Sun on the polar regions of the Earth, resulting in a bulging of water toward the poles. This phenomenon leads to a variation in sea levels in polar regions, affecting coastal areas and navigation.
What type of storm occurs in polar regions?
Polar regions experience a type of storm called a polar storm or polar low. These storms are similar to mid-latitude cyclones but are smaller in size and typically occur over the ocean. Polar storms can produce strong winds and heavy precipitation, posing a threat to maritime activities and coastal areas in polar regions.
If the polar ice Caps melt would the sea level rise 2 meters or 2 miles?
If the polar ice caps melt, it is estimated that the sea level would rise by approximately 2 meters, not 2 miles. This would have significant impacts on coastal areas and low-lying regions around the world.
Would the Dominican Republic be underwater if the poles melted?
The poles are imaginay points, and can't melt. If the pollar ice caps were to melt, it probably would not be enough to put all of the Dominican Republic under the sea, since the country includes a serious range of mountains that separates it from Haiti. The islands of the south Pacific are another matter. Over there, they've been seeing it happen for years now, and they don't have that much left to go.
What would happen if the polar ice caps melted and the resulting water spread?
If the polar ice caps melted, it would lead to a rise in sea levels. This would result in flooding of coastal areas, displacement of communities, loss of habitats for wildlife, and increased risk of extreme weather events.

What is the effect of global warming on coastal areas?
In so far as global warming will decrease the amounts of polar ice, that melted water does result in a higher Sea Level. National Geographic June 2011 - Earth 56 million years ago - Sea Levels 225 feet higher than now.

Where are the earth's polar areas?
The earth's polar areas are at ARCTIC to the north and ANTARCTIC to the south of the equator.
What would happen to Hawaii if the polar caps melted?
Melting the north polar ice cap would raise ocean levels very little, for the same reason ice cubes melting in a glass of water do not overflow the cup. Ice occupies more volume than the water it displaces, which is why it floats. There would be SOME increase from thermal expansion. The Greenland ice cap would add about seven meters (23 feet) to ocean levels. But when Antarctica melts (perhaps as little as a dozen centuries from now), ocean levels will rise 60 meters. Much of Hawaii is volcanic mountains well above sea level, but of lot of the area would be submerged. Low coastal areas around the world will flood.

Which of these is the most likely result of polar ice caps melting?
Fishes would be harmed by changes to the ocean water (apex)
How is global Warming Affecting Penguins Polar Bears and Us?
Global warming can melt the arctic and antarctic ice caps causing polar bears and antarctic penguins to have less place to live, if the ice melted, sea levels will rise and areas will be flooded and we will have fewer places to live.
Why is the polar region important for lumbering?
There are no trees in polar areas so the answer is no.
