The North Pole and the South Pole are just places. They have a lot of ice, and the ice is melting, faster in some places than in others. So the Polar Regions do melt, but they haven't completely melted yet.

When ice cube in the poles of earth melt does it effect the rotation of earth?

no


What is a natural effect of global warming?

There are many natural effects of global warming. One of these effects is that ice caps melt in the north and south poles. they melt a little bit more each day, and if you add all that melting up in a year, or even 6 monthes, that is a lot of melting!


Why are icebergs only found near the poles?

Icebergs are primarily found near the poles because they originate from glaciers, which form in cold regions where snow accumulates and compacts over time. The frigid temperatures near the poles facilitate the process of glacier formation and the calving of icebergs into the ocean. Additionally, the warmer waters away from the poles can cause icebergs to melt rapidly, limiting their presence in more temperate regions. Thus, the polar environment is essential for the stability and existence of icebergs.


What happens to icebergs after they have broken off a glacier or ice sheet?

After breaking off a glacier or ice sheet, icebergs can float in the ocean and drift with ocean currents. They may eventually melt, break apart further, or run aground. Some icebergs may also pose a hazard to ships navigating in the area.


Is earth's magnetic poles and its geographic poles are in the same place?

No, Earth's magnetic poles and its geographic poles are not in the same place. The geographic poles are the points where Earth's axis of rotation intersects its surface, while the magnetic poles are where the planet's magnetic field lines converge and enter/exit the Earth. The magnetic poles are constantly moving and can deviate from the geographic poles.

Which glacier can be found over Antarctica and the North Pole?

No, ice covers both poles. The equator between them would melt any connection between the two polar climates.


Why is it that icebergs can move thousands of miles away from the poles before they melt?

You mean 'disappear' - as they move away from the poles they are continually melting. It is this melting which breaks them away from the main body of the ice. They can move so far because the tides and winds move them. They are truly massive things and it takes a long time for an iceberg to melt. Freeze a bowl of water and take it and a regular ice-cube out of the freezer at the same time. Take the ice out of the bowl. Put both piece of ice in the same sink and see how much longer it takes the bigger piece to melt away.
