This higher temperature may be causing some floating icebergs to melt, but this will not make the oceans rise. Icebergs are large floating chunks of ice. In order to float, the iceberg displaces a volume of water that has a weight equal to that of the iceberg.
But the rising temperature and icebergs could play a small role in the rising ocean level. Icebergs are chunks of frozen glaciers that break off from landmasses and fall into the ocean. The rising temperature may be causing more icebergs to form by weakening the glaciers, causing more cracks and making ice mo re likely to break off. As soon as the ice falls into the ocean, the ocean rises a little.
What else can I help you with?
Days will get shorter The weather channel has been showing the Ocean levels rising because of ice melting in the poles?
Yes, sea levels are rising because of warming oceans and melting ice, but no, days will not get shorter.
Where are the melting ice caps?
In the Arctic the polar ice cap is melting, losing about 3% ice every year. In the summer of 2007, for the first time in recorded history, the North-West Passage was open for shipping.
Is the ocean water more salty or less salty near the North pole and South pole?
Ocean water is generally less salty near the North and South Poles due to the melting of ice, which dilutes the salinity. Additionally, cold temperatures limit the evaporation of water, which contributes to lower salinity levels in polar oceans.
Do North poles attract North poles?
No, North poles repel each other due to their magnetic properties. Like poles (North-North or South-South) will push away from each other, while opposite poles (North-South or South-North) will attract each other.
What do we call ends of magnet?
North and South (Poles) :)
If the north and south poles melt why does it matter to us?
The melting of the north and south poles can lead to rising sea levels, which can result in coastal flooding, loss of habitat for wildlife, and displacement of communities. It can also disrupt weather patterns and contribute to global climate change. Addressing the melting poles is important for protecting ecosystems and minimizing the impacts of climate change on human societies.

Are the North Pole and the south pole geographical poles?
yes, the north and south poles are geographical poles.

How does the moon affect summer?
the moon affects the season summer cause the south and north poles are constly moving
How many does a magnet pole have?
It has 2 Poles the North Pole and the South Pole . Extra Info . : Like Poles repel where as unlike Poles attract .
What poles attract and what poles repel?
poles of the same kind repel one another. poles of differet kinds attract, and this is where the saying ' opposites attract' comes from.
Why do like poles repel?
like poles repel because North to south attract and North to north repel
