What If All the World's Ice Melted?

  • Ice caps on both poles of the planet are melting. And not just a few. All of them. If all this ice melted, it would be catastrophic. How much would the sea levels rise? How would this impact global temperatures? And what would this mean for life on Earth? Would the coastal lands be completely submerged in water? What will happen to places like Denmark, the Maldives and Singapore?

    Ice floating on water would NOT contribute to sea level rise. The ice already displaces water. And since water expands when it freezes, it would take less volume when it melts.

    Ice caps of our planet reflects 1/3 of the Sun's light back to space. If they melt away, the Earth starts to receive 33% more heat from our star. This means massive water evaporation on Earth. So the sea levels would actually NOT rise, rather it would mix with air, increasing the atmospheric pressure accordingly.
    Imagine all the water mass on Earth, added to our atmosphere!
    That is Venus, ladies and gentleman.
    As our beloved star matures and gets hotter and bigger, the Earth will turn into Venus!

      @insanelol-_-5521 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      no cause ice melted due to global warming and if all ice melted then it means that earth average temperature will be 27°C,if it will be 27°C then there won't be any snowfall after the sea covered the whole earth because due to it's high temperature there will be hot as well as cold in sea, winters will be dry,summers will be nothing cuz water is covered everywhere fishes got land as their 2nd home and after sometimes humans won't be able to live in cuz sea water has salt in it which will dry your skin and destroy the buildings u made if get in contact for days and months so humans will likely to die at that time cuz there's only sea water no fresh water u can't drink sea water to live u will be likely to be dead by kidney failure!!
