Have you everthought, if all ice in Antarctica(南极洲)and the arctic(北极)melts due to the globalwarming, what will happen? But one thing is sure with 100% certainty,penguins in Antarctic and the arcticwill be in big trouble. Risingtemperatures in coming years would lead to less sea ice...
"This is not a short-term risk," Winkelmann added. "The Earth's ice masses are huge, which makes them very important for our Earth system as a whole — it also means that their response to anthropogenic climate change, especially that of the ice sh...
How much ice is melting each year in Antarctica? How much will the sea level rise if Antarctica melts? How did Antarctica form? What causes climate change in Antarctica? Is all of Antarctica covered in ice? How did Antarctica become an isolated continent?
Ninety-nine percent of all freshwater ice on Earth is sitting on top of Greenland and Antarctica, and each year, a little more of it melts into the ocean. Normally, it would take hundreds to thousands of years for it all to melt...
Of course, when t his ic e melts, it will tend to decreas e th e salinity of th e surrounding water.In th e Weddell Sea, off Antarctica, th e densest water in th e oceans is formed as a result of this fre ezing process, which increases th e salinity of cold wa ter. T hi...
In this manner, seawater directly beneath freshly formed sea ice has a higher salinity than it did before the ice appeared. Of course, when this ice melts, it will tend to decrease the salinity of the surrounding water. In the Weddell Sea, off Antarctica, the densest water in the oceans ...
a) Ice floats in water. Why? b) Would you expect solid mercury to float in liquid mercury at its freezing point? Explain.What is the entropy change to the surroundings when 1 mol of ice melts in someone's hand if the hand temperature is 32^oC? Assume a final tem...

with the man-made warming up to the 1950s, leading to a rise in the amount of water vapour in the atmosphere—further lifting the temperature, causing increasing release of carbon from thawing permafrost, and simultaneously a decline in the surface albedo as the ice and snow covers melts. To...
