Answer: The ice caps are already in water.
Explanation:
The ice packs in North Pole and the ice sheet in Antarctica are already in water. When they melt therefore, they are simply being converted from one state to another but the quantity is the same.
In other words, the volume that the ice occupied in the water becomes the volume of liquid added to the water so there is no net change in volume added leading to sea levels staying the same.
Answer:
Brazilian Highlands
Explanation:
The Brazilian Highlands are a vast area of Brazil that include not only jungles to the west but also the Atlantic forests to the east. These latter forests have been drastically reduced in the past decades and now less than ten percent of their original extension remains.
