How much will sea water raise if all ice of antartic and artic are melted away from global warming?

Question

Especially if the sun has partially affected global warming, then earth maybe get worser with poles’ spiral melting.

Answer 1

80.32 metres (263 feet, 5 inches). About 90% of the world's ice is locked in the Antarctic Ice Sheet, this ice contains more than 70% of all the fresh water on Earth. Unlike Antarctica, the Arctic Ice Sheet is floating and as such it displaces it's own mass of sea-water, if it were to melt there would be no change in sea levels

East Antarctic Ice Sheet
26,039,200 km³, 64.90m sea level rise

West Antarctic Ice Sheet
3,262,000 km³, 8.06m sea level rise

Greenland
2,620,000 km³, 6.55m sea level rise

Antarctic Peninsular
227,100 km³, 0.46m sea level rise

Glaciers, snow fields and other sources
180,000 km³, 0.45m sea level rise

Totals
32,328,300 km³, 80.32m sea level rise


Addit info...
As the ice melts the runoff mixes with the surrounding cold sea water and reduces the temperature causing it to expand*. The cold water mixes with warmer water as it's moved around by ocean currents, as it warms it contracts until it reaches 4°C when it begins to expand. In time the meltwater will be distributed throughout the world's seas and oceans causing a very slight lowering of temperatures and corresponding contraction. However, this cooling is more than offset by the overall warming of the seas and oceans.


*Water has an unusual property in that it's densest at 4°C and the denser it is the less space it occupies. If water is below 4°C it expands as it cools down, above this temperature and it expands as it warms up.

Answer 2

the ice in the water trick is for ice in the water ,that is only the North pole ,the reason is that ice is expanded and contains a lot of air that is also why it floats.

All the ice of the glaziers and mountains Snow and Antarctica and Green land is Ice OUT of the water ,which is water returning into the seas and raising the overall level.

They say if it is all melted about 20 meters
the worst part of this ,is the sweet water loss
75 % of all the sweet water (drinking water )is in the ice.

Here is a distribution table

25% of the planets surface is land
75%of the surface is water and it is rising

------------------------------...

97%of the Earths water is salt

fresh water is only 3% of all the Earths water
most of it is beyond out reach

now much ice is melting and running into the seas fresh water lost for ever.

STORAGE or Location of % of the fresh water
ice and glaziers 74%
groundwater 800 meters + 13.5 %
groundwater less than 800meters 11.o%
Lakes 0.3%
soils 0.006%
Atmospheric in circulation 0.0035%
rivers 0.03%


frozen land or permafrost is not included and represent an unavailable storage of 40%

so of the 3% about 11.6 ,is easily available to us ,in rivers, lakes and ground water surface aquifers,more and more of this is becoming contaminated

Answer 3

bbal is right on. What i don't understand is that they've got everyone believing that the polar ice caps are going to melt, and that we're all gonna be under water, when a simple 7th grade science experiment disproves this whole theory. Americans are getting dumber by the minute, and our politicians see that. It doesn't take much to get everyone to jump on the bandwagon with something. Global warming is a prime example of this. This is fascism. Hitler did the same thing as Al Gore is doing now, except obviously Hitler's was much worse.

Answer 4

People erroneously calculate the volume of ice on Greenland and Antarctica and use that to calculate global sea rise (remembering that floating ice sheets will not raise the level up at all.) What they seem to forget in their calculations is that if air temperature is substantially warm enough to melt the ice, then it will be able to hold more water (ie the concentration of water vapor in the atmosphere will rise) Inevitably, this will lead to more rain, and more water locked on/in land.

Answer 5

in case you have some water in a pitcher, mark the point with a pen and upload ice, wait till it melts and then look returned there will be greater water interior the glass and the point would be greater. If the polar icecaps initiate breaking off and soften into the sea then the sea will upward push. there is mountains of frozen water on the North and South Pole One 0.33 above and a pair of thirds under.

Answer 6

If ALL the World's ice melted; most of the World's coastal cities- would be wiped out. Most of Florida, Louisiana & Delaware- would disappear. Most of the Oceans little Island nations- would be gone. And much of Europe, India, & the Far eastern countries- would be smaller. ... And ALL those people, from ALL those places- would be looking for a new place to live... It would be a nightmare... :(

Answer 7

In theory it shouldn't. In one of my classes we did an experiment where we placed a fairly large chunk of ice into a cooler and filled it to thebrim with water and let the ice melt and not a drop went over because it displaces the same amount of water frozen as the ammount it contains.

Answer 8

I've actually seen in countless peer reviewed scientific articles that if there was no ice it would be a 70 meter increasin in sea level rise. Enough to inundate ALL coastal areas. The maps will soon have to be redrawn.

Answer 9

80 meters? Thats high enough to inundate most if not all of the resort homes of those azzholes on Cape Cod who fought so hard against spoiling their view of the horizon with a wind generator farm. Starting with the Kennedy compound at Hyannisport.

Answer 10

The important part is the miles-thick ice caps on land in Antarctica and Grrenland. These would raise ocean levels worldwide about 400 feet.
