When polar ice melts, how does this exacerbate warming oceans?

Geography

____ [38]3 years ago
3 0

Ice is reflective and when the sun hits the polar ice it's heat gets bounced back and doesn't significantly effect the water or earth. When the ice is melted there is less ice to reflect the sun away, and the water gets warmed, therefore warming the oceans.

Hope this helped! Let me know if I need to clarify anything or explain anything more in depth!

Most of the hurricanes that affect the east coast
Lina20 [59]
Most fo the hurricanes that affect the east coast of the United States originally form over the warm waters of the Atlantic Ocean in Summer (1). The warm waters of the Gulf Stream run along the east coast of the United States. This provides an environment which is conducive to the development of hurricanes. The basics of the formation of a hurricane are as follows. Winds start blowing in a circular motion. This causes hot, moist air to rise. Clouds are formed and the winds start blowing faster and faster. This forms a low-pressure zone. The surrounding high-pressure zones pull the hurricane towards them. As the hurricane moves, it either picks up speed or decreases its speed and intensity.
