Ice melts above 32 degrees F -- 0 degrees C, and the temperature in Antarctica doesn't reach that level on most of the continent.
What else can I help you with?
What might be the effect of sprinkling black soot over the ice in the Arctic or the Antarctic?
The ice under will melt because black is a good absorber and a poor radiator.
What will melt because of global warming?
Ice will melt due to Global Warming.....Arctic sea ice (the habitat of polar bears)Antarctic land ice (raising sea levels)Mountain glaciers (cutting off the year round water feed for great rivers).
What is in ice melt?
Ice melt is made up of chemicals that are intended to melt ice. These chemicals often include salt as well.
What will everything look like if you don't stop global warming?
There will be more droughts, floods, and other natual disaters, sea level will rise.Because the ice of the arctic and the Antarctic will melt
Ice does not need to melt into liquid water before it can return to the atmosphere as water vapor?
This is correct. This process is called sublimation. Hot dry winds, like the Chinook in the western US, can do this, as well as direct sunlight on Antarctic ice.
How are the ice sheets of Antarctica breaking?
Your question is really about ice shelves, not the Antarctic ice sheet. The ice shelves are deteriorating because of warmer ocean waters that melt the ice shelf from below.
What might be the effect of sprinkling black soot over the ice in the Arctic or the Antarctic?
The ice under will melt because black is a good absorber and a poor radiator.
Why does the ice in Antarctica not melt away into the sea when sunlight shines on it?
Some of the ice melts, but since it's so thick -- 90% of the earth's store of ice is in the Antarctic ice sheet -- the sun doesn't shine hot enough to melt more ice than is frozen there during periods when there is no sunlight.
What will melt because of global warming?
Ice will melt due to Global Warming.....Arctic sea ice (the habitat of polar bears)Antarctic land ice (raising sea levels)Mountain glaciers (cutting off the year round water feed for great rivers).
How much is the percent of the ice in the antarctica?
One hundred percent of the ice...in the Antarctic, is ice in the Antarctic.
How changing albedo of ice impacting the Antarctic and Greenland ice caps?
Albedo is a positive feedback. If there is less ice, there earth will not be able to reflect as much radiation and it will warm a little bit more. This will cause continued enhancement of ice melt.
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.
Does ice with ice melt on it melt fast?
yes
Is Antarctica starting to melt?
Actually, continents don't melt. However, 98% of the Antarctic continent is covered with an ice sheet, which is subject to melting.
Where do Antarctic Ice fish live?
The Antarctic of course.
What happens if you melt an ice cube?
it will become water If you melt an ice cube it will melt
Can the Antarctic icecap melt due to global warming?
Yes, it can. NASA's Grace satellite shows that Antarctica has been losing more than a hundred cubic kilometers (24 cubic miles) of ice each year since 2002. The latest data also shows that the rate that Antarctica is losing ice is accelerating, too.
