Why is jack hall taking ice core samples from antarctica?
Jack Hall was studying the greenhouse gases in ice cores from Antarctica because runaway greenhouse gases are causing global warming.
What are the functions and actions of greenhouse gases?
To trap heat. The functions of greenhouse gases are to absorb heat from sunlight and trap it in the atmosphere to warm the Earth and melt the ice caps.
What is green ice gases?
The question probably refers to "greenhouse" gases rather than green ice gases. Greenhouse gases are a group of gases in the atmosphere that tend to prevent heat escaping from the Earth. They act rather like a blanket and hold heat in the atmosphere. There are several greenhouse gases. The best known are carbon dioxide and methane although water vapor is also one of them, even if not usually recognized as such.
What are the melting polar ice caps affecting the most?
Melting polar ice caps are affecting global sea levels, leading to coastal flooding and erosion in many regions. This can also disrupt ecosystems and habitats for various plant and animal species that rely on sea ice for survival. Additionally, the melting ice caps contribute to global climate change by releasing stored greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.
Does burning of fossil fuel contribute to melting ice caps?
Absolutely! burning fossil fuels creates harmful fumes that go into into our atmosphere. These fumes are known as greenhouse gas. Greenhouse gases are affecting global warming and are causing our ice caps to melt.
What are solutions for addressing green house gases?
One theory is to increase the input of greenhouse gases so that the next "ice age" can be averted.
How much of the worlds freshwater supply do antarcticas ice caps contain?
The answer you want is about 70%.
What gases are most affecting the animals in the North and South?
This is an odd question, although I suppose that the gases that are most affecting the animals near the Poles contribute indirectly. The gases you are referring to are called greenhouse gases, like carbon dioxide and methane. They don't so much affect the animals near the poles directly, but more the environment in which these animals live. The greenhouse gases contribute to the melting of ice caps and icebergs which, in turn, does affect polar animals like penguins and polar bears.
What is global warming explanation?
Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere are reflecting more and melting the polar ice caps.
Who was regulating the greenhouse gases during the last global warming period when the ice age ended?
nobody
What impact does the presence of greenhouse gases have on the Earth's atmosphere and climate?
Greenhouse gases trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, leading to a warming effect known as the greenhouse effect. This can cause changes in climate patterns, such as rising temperatures, melting ice caps, and more extreme weather events.
Which is given as an explanations for how the Paleozoic supercontinent ice cap melted?
The two main explanations for the melting of the Paleozoic supercontinent ice cap are changes in greenhouse gas concentrations and volcanic activity. Fluctuations in carbon dioxide levels and other greenhouse gases can lead to a warming climate, while volcanic eruptions release heat-trapping gases that contribute to warming temperatures, both of which can melt ice caps.
