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

Geography

____ [38]3 years ago

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!

Answer:

The statement is not true.

Explanation:

Global warming is a process that is occurring naturally, with or without human activity. This is not to say that humans don't have an impact, on contrary, the human activities have managed to add enough greenhouse gases in the atmosphere so that the process is speeded up, and that becomes very alarming because the changes are much faster.

Very often, the finger is pointed to the most developed countries in the world when it comes to greenhouse gas emissions like they are the only ones that contribute to it. This is far from true though. All of the well-developed countries, except for the US, have been investing heavily in environmentally friendly energy sources and have had a decrease in greenhouse emissions. On the other hand, countries like China, India, Indonesia, Pakistan, Nigeria, are all among the top polluters when it comes to greenhouse gases emissions. Now to be fair, the countries that are now well developed did a lot of harm in the past while they were developing, so it is hard to criticize the developing countries for wanting to become richer except if they are helped in sorting out the issue.

A threatened species is in danger of extinction in the immediate future.<br><br> true or false
MissTica

The correct answer is - False.

When a species is classified as threatened, it means that that particular species is expected to become endangered, not extinct. The species that are threatened, are species that have experienced a significant drop in numbers in recent times, but still have enough individuals to be able to survive and keep the species going. But if the situation starts to become worse and the species continues to lose numbers, than the species will fall into the category of endangered species, which will mean that it is expected that the species will die out in the very near future.
