The reason the ice in the Antarctica does not melt away when sunlight shines upon it is because the whiteness of the ice reflects most of the light back into space. But as a result of global warming, much more ice are being melted now than before. And thus without the ice, more sea will appear. And with the sea, there were not as much ice to reflect the sunlight back into space, therefore more of the sunlight and its heat were absorbed by earth, and thus more and more ice will melt.
Actually, they do melt and they move around.
Snow melts in spring due to warmer temperatures and increased sunlight. The heat from the sun warms the snow, causing it to melt into water. This process is also influenced by factors like air temperature and humidity.
Yes, ice cream can melt in Antarctica if exposed to high enough temperatures, such as inside a warm building. While the outside temperature is extremely cold in Antarctica, indoor temperatures are typically kept above freezing to prevent water pipes from freezing.
Many solids can melt in sunlight, particularly those with low melting points. Examples include ice, various types of wax, and certain plastics like polystyrene. Additionally, softer metals such as lead can also melt if exposed to sufficient sunlight and heat. The extent of melting depends on the intensity of sunlight and ambient temperature.
glaciers are big and vary cold.
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.
Antarctica is a continent, and continents do not melt.
Antarctica is a continent: continents do not melt.
Sunlight melts it away! The rays the sun casts is enough to melt ice. also the season's are changing
The only part of Antarctica that can melt is the ice sheet that covers 98% of the continent.
Antarctica is a continent, one of seven on earth and its soil comprises about 10% of the earth's surface. The vast ice cap on Antarctica could melt, but continents do not melt.
Actually, they do melt and they move around.
A person in Antarctica who wanted fresh water would apply heat to melt ice.
it heats it up and it makes it melt
It doesn't melt in this scenario.
"Melt away" can be translated as "disolverse" in Spanish.
Antarctica is a land mass that covers 10% of the earth's surface. The land will not melt.
