The melting of polar ice is one effect of the greenhouse effect, or also global warming.
The greenhouse effect, as defined by Merriam-Webster, is "the <span>warming of the surface and lower atmosphere of a planet (as Earth or Venus) that is caused by conversion of solar radiation into heat in a process involving selective transmission of short wave solar radiation by the atmosphere, its absorption by the planet's surface, and reradiation as infrared which is absorbed and partly reradiated back to the surface by atmospheric gases".
In short, "</span>the warming of the surface and lower atmosphere of a planet".
<span>The inner planets (in order of distance from the sun, closest to furthest) are Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. After an asteroid belt comes the outer planets, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. The interesting thing is, in some other planetary systems discovered, the gas giants are actually quite close to the sun</span>

Answer: The Systeme international (International System of Units
)</h2>
The International System of Units (SI) is used in almost every country in the world (<em>except Burma, Liberia and the United States</em>).
This system was created in 1960 by the 11th General Conference of Weights and Measures in France and is made up of seven basic units:
-Ampere (electric current)
-Kelvin (temperature)
-Second (time)
-Meter (length)
-Kilogram (mass)
-Candela (luminous intensity)
-Mol (amount of substance) *added to the system in 1971
Plus an unlimited number of derived units from the main ones.
I believe the correct answer is expansion.
