9 Αυγ 2024 · Melting glaciers and sea ice - statistics & facts. Glaciers and sea ice are melting at an alarming rate, driven primarily by climate change. The melting of these bodies of ice is...
Visualize sea ice extent (area of ocean with at least 15 percent sea ice concentration) data for the Arctic and Antarctic. View and compare sea ice extent data for any year or any combination of years from 1979 to present (including near-real-time daily data).
Melting ice sheets and glaciers on land add water to the sea. (See the “What’s Causing Sea-Level Rise: Land Ice Vs. Sea Ice” activity for more information about how melting ice contributes to sea level rise.)
How does melting sea ice affect sea levels? Experiment 1: See ice melting! For this experiment, we’re setting up an ocean environment, and using ice cubes to represent the Arctic sea ice. What you’ll need: • A clear glass or plastic container, like a baking dish or beaker • A jug of water (room temperature) • A tray of ice cubes
12 Φεβ 2024 · Data Tools. Charctic Interactive Sea Ice Graph. Plot and compare different years and ranges. Obtain daily sea ice extent values, ranges, and median values for the Arctic or the Antarctic. Explore ChArctic now. Sea ice analysis tool.
•Explain that melting land ice adds to rising seas, while melting sea ice does not. •Observe and explain that warm water molecules expand, taking up more space. •List and consider some real-world solutions for sea level rise.
Ice, which covers 10 percent of Earth's surface, is disappearing rapidly. Select a topic below to see how climate change has affected glaciers, sea ice, and continental ice sheets worldwide. Vital Signs of the Planet: Global Climate Change and Global Warming.
