What's been happening to the arctic sea ice and the land ice on Antarctica and Greenland in the past 20 years

Answer: The ice has been melting and declining

Explanation:

Due to an increase in industrialization, global warming is occurring. This has increased the average temperature around the globe considerably.

As you probably know, ice needs to be in a cold environment to stay frozen. <em>Arctic sea ice</em>, which is ice that floats in the sea near the Arctic, <em>has been </em><em>melting</em> due to global warming.

In addition, the land ice on Antarctica and Greenland has <em>also been </em><em>melting</em> due to global warming.  The increase in average temperatures around the globe has created an environment that is <em>too warm</em> for ice.

In conclusion, <em>global warming</em> has caused Arctic sea ice, and land ice on Antarctica and Greenland, to <em>melt</em>. The globe <em>is warmer than it once was</em>. This means that the water that once was frozen is now melting. If we don't stop heating the planet, <em>sea levels will rise </em>due to the melting ice, and catastrophe will occur. Tens of thousands of animals will die, homes will be lost, and storms will increase in intensity and frequency if we don't reverse the effects of global warming <u><em>now.</em></u>

Save the Arctic, please.

Where is the temperature of the mantle material greater?
kompoz [17]

Answer:

At the boundary with the core.

Explanation:

The mantle is the second layer from the top. It is bordered by the lithosphere above it, or rather by the crust, and by the outer core below it. The mantle is a layer which is in viscous state, being mostly consisted of molten metals and rocks. The temperature of this layer is not the same all throughout it, but it varies a lot. The temperature at its top part is around 200 C degrees, while the temperature at its bottom is around 4,000 C degrees. There's two reasons for this. One is that the core is very hot, so it makes the bottom part of the mantle very hot as well, and the other one is that the lithosphere is much cooler, as well as constantly getting new, cold, crust in it, which makes its top part much cooler. The mantle is the layer responsible for the movement of the tectonic plates on the surface, as it is the layer where the convection currents occur and drive the plates' movement.
