Antarctica will be a rocky continent with mountains and lakes. The huge weight of the present ice cap is pushing the land down. If all the ice melts the land will rise up by 1500 feet or 450 metres. So the global sea level rise of 200 feet (60 metres), will not flood Antarctica.
What else can I help you with?
If antarctica melts would it be enough water to flood the world?
No. If all the ice on Antarctica melts, it will raise sea levels round the world by 60 metres (200 feet).
What effects and impact do ice melts have on Antarctica?
it doesn't say
What will Antarctica look like if all the ice melts?
It will be a 14,000,000 sq km, mountainous pile of mud and rock.
How can an increase in the annual melt season in Antarctica have global effects?
Most of the ice on Antarctica is land ice, so when it melts it raises sea levels, globally, which means all around the world.
What is ice that forms and then melts seasonally around the coast of Antarctica?
It's just called sea ice. If it melts every year, the term is "first year ice".
Why is antarctica important to aglobla warming?
Almost all of Antarctica is covered by ice, so it's greatly affected by a global rise in temperatures. When this ice melts and glaciers collapse, sea levels all over the world rise.
Why do the ice shelves melt in summer in Antarctica?
Melting of Antarctica's ice shelves occurs underwater, based on warming ocean water. which melts the shelves from underneath. This phenomenon occurs all year and is not limited to summer.
How the ice of Antarctica have been formed?
It's in the ice that melt over the ice plateu and fall to the water and floats until it melts.
How is melting in Antarctica an issue?
When ice melts the animals lose their homes and eventually die
What will happen to the world if the Antarctica ice cover melts?
a lot of artic animals will be extinct
If antarctica melts how does that effect England?
If Antarctica melts, it could contribute to sea level rise globally, leading to increased flooding in coastal areas, including parts of England. The melting ice could also disrupt ocean currents, potentially impacting the climate in England and beyond.
Why is global warming important to us and Antarctica?
the earth will be thrown of it's axis if the ice melts. the ice in the north and south pole is what keeps the earth balance. if that ice melts major earthquakes and hurricanes will form
