Question

How would tempature change in the atmosphere enough to melt the Antarctic ice affect The Biosphere

Answer 1

Answer:

$\boxed{\mathrm{view \: explanation}}$

Explanation:

The greenhouse effect traps the Sun’s heat, if the temperature is changed, more heat will be trapped on Earth. Ice in Antarctic will melt, there won’t be any ice surfaces for the Earth to deflect the radiation. Anything that increases or decreases the amount of incoming or outgoing energy will change global temperatures. The biosphere will be affected, ocean temperatures and surface temperatures of bodies of water will rise dramatically.

Answer 2

When warming temperatures gradually melt sea ice over time, fewer bright surfaces are available to reflect sunlight back into the atmosphere. More solar energy is absorbed at the surface and ocean temperatures rise. This begins a cycle of warming and melting.
