CURRENT EVENT RELATED TO EVIRONMENT

ANTARCTIC ICE SHEET WARMING HOW FAST

• Antarctic ice sheet was experiencing nearly twice as much warming as previously thought.
• Three times faster than average temperature rise around the globe.

WHY ICE SHEET IMPORTANT

• Ice sheet contain enormous quantities of frozen water.
• If green land ice sheet melted they estimate sea level would rise (20feet)
• If Antarctic ice sheet melted sea level would rise (200feet)
• Green land and Antarctic contains unique record of earths climate history.

WHAT WOLD IT EFFECT IF ICE SHEETS MELTED

• Greenland&Antarctica contains 99% of fresh water.
• Antarctic sheet melted sea level would rise 200feet.
• Polar bears won't be able to survive neither than penguins.

WHAT WOULD HAPPENED IF THE POLOR ICE CAPS MELTED

• It would cut off all of the worlds oceanic currents.
• Currents in the ocean are caused primarily by gradual melting of the ice caps.
• Without the cold water from ice caps,there would be no warm water currents
• Therefore plummeting the earths global temperature instead of going up

IF MARS ICE CAP MELTED WOULD LIFE BE POSSIBLE
