What happens to the length of a day when the polar ice caps of the earth melts and how?Angular Momentum ConservationThe earth revolves around the sun roughly once in 365 days and rotates about its own axis once in 24 hours. Associated with the rotational motion ...

Mars is basically a colder Antarctica that looks like the Arizona desert with air you can’t breathe and a sun that radiates you to death if you’re exposed to it for long. Every part of Mars is dramatically less livable than the least livable place on Earth. But the conditions are reas...

400 years since the end of the lastIce Age, sea level has risen at an average of 4 feet/century, though it is now rising much more slowly because very nearly all of the land-based ice that is at low enough latitudes and altitudes to melt has long since gone." (Christopher Monckton)...
Why does the land rise when the ice melts? To explain this, we need to understand the process by which the earth rises, known as glacial isostatic adjustment to give it its proper name. A useful analogy is to imagine the structure of the Earth beneath Antarctica as a double-layer mattress...
