What is an arctic ice caps?
It is an ice cap (ice berg) found in the arctic.
Are diamonds mined in the arctic?
NOTHING is mined in the arctic. The arctic is only ice.
Why should the water level in sea increases when the icecap melts?
Ice caps and glaciers rest on land, so when they melt, the water goes into the ocean, as opposed to sea ice (Arctic) and icebergs.
Is the Arctic melting?
YES the Arctic has seen ice loss.
Is it the Arctic or the Antarctic region that is solid ice?

How much more ice has the arctic over Antarctica?
There is much more ice covering Antarctica -- about 90% of the earth's store of ice -- than in the Arctic.
What are Arctic rocks?

The ice sheet is approximately 1500 meters thick in the Arctic or Antarctica?
The ice sheet exceeds 1500 meters in both of these ice sheets, with the Arctic ice sheet referring to the Greenland Ice Sheet.
When will there be no Arctic?
There will always be an Arctic becsuse the Arctic is a place. The ice is melting and it is warming and changing, but it will be there. There will always be ice there though, because it still gets very cold in the winter.
Is the ice melting in the Arctic at an alarming rate?
Yes, the ice in the Arctic is melting at an alarming rate due to climate change.
Why is the arctic ice cap not considered a glacier?
The Arctic ice cap is a large mass of ice floating on the Arctic Ocean, whereas a glacier is a slow-moving mass of ice on land. Glaciers form from compacted snow over time, while the ice cap in the Arctic fluctuates with the seasons. Additionally, glaciers can carve out valleys and shape landscapes, which the Arctic ice cap does not do.
