Actually, the sea level would not rise appreciably--at least, not at first. Arctic ice is floating in water, and when melted, takes up less volume than ice does. This is an oversimplification, though, since the climate changes accompanying the increased amount of seawater--which would then evaporate in larger volumes, resulting in increased rainfall, etc.--are harder to predict.
It is the ice that is sitting on land that is important. Melting of continental ice sheets acts to raise sea-levels.
According to the Third Assessment Report of the International Panel on Climate Change, the ice contained within Greenland Ice Sheet represents a sea-level rise equivalent of 7.2 metres (24 feet).
The ice contained within the Antarctic Ice-sheet represents 61.1 metres (200 feet) of sea-level change.
That is, if both the Antarctic Ice-Sheet, and the Greenland Ice-Sheet were to melt, sea-level would rise by 68.3 metres (224 feet).

Does the arctic tundra include glaciers?
Glaciers are not typically considered part of the Arctic tundra biome. The Arctic tundra is defined by cold temperatures, a short growing season, and a layer of permanently frozen subsoil known as permafrost. Glaciers, on the other hand, are massive sheets of ice that form from the accumulation and compaction of snow over long periods of time in mountainous regions.
How many 20 pound Arctic foxes would weigh as much as a 2000 pound beluga whale?
2000 / 20 = 100 of them .
How much Arctic sea ice has melted just since satellites started observing around 30 years ago?
Since satellite observations began in the late 1970s, Arctic sea ice has significantly diminished, with approximately 40% of the ice cover lost during the summer months. The minimum extent of Arctic sea ice has declined by about 13% per decade, leading to alarming reductions in both thickness and coverage. This loss is primarily attributed to climate change and rising global temperatures, impacting ecosystems and weather patterns.
Where did all the water and ice go after the ice age?
After the ice age, much of the water and ice from melting glaciers drained into the oceans, raising sea levels. Some water also returned to the atmosphere through evaporation and precipitation. Additionally, some ice melted and formed rivers and lakes.
What ocean surrounds north pole?
No ocean covers the North Pole. The North Pole is an imaginary point on the Arctic Ice cap that covers the Arctic Ocean. SHORT ANSWER- Arctic Ocean
If 50g iron gets melted how much liquid iron gets produced?
if a 50 g of iron gets melted how much liquid does it produce
How much is a melted down gold dollar worth?
A real gold dollar from the 1800s would be worth at least $125 melted down, but would probably bring much more if sold to a collector. A modern Sacajawea or Presidential "golden" dollar is really made of brass. Melted down it would sell for about 15 cents!
Can the mark mcgwire 23kt gold card be melted down and sold for gold?
yes it can. depending on how much the gold weight would be after melted down.
How much money would it cost to move to the Arctic Tundra?
963.586.36963
How much melted butter is 6 tbs of butter?
Six tablespoons of butter is equivalent to approximately 3/4 cup of melted butter. When melted, the volume remains the same, so you would use the same amount, 6 tablespoons, of melted butter in your recipe.
When ice forms water its volume comes down so why would ocean levels rise if Arctic ice melts?
Much of arctic ice sits above the level of the ocean. When this ice melts it adds to the volume of the ocean without subtracting any ice volume.
Would you be more likely to find reindeer near the Arctic Circle or the Antarctic Circle?
There are no reindeer in Antarctica, only in the Arctic. You would be much more likely to find reindeer near the Arctic. It is logically impossible to find a mammal living in the Antarctic Circle. Although reindeer would be able to survive in the Antarctic Circle, they would soon develop hypothermia.
What is a flora in arctic tundra?
i would say that there is not much flora but what there is would not be too exiting cause it would be cold
If there was 6 inches of snow when it melted how much water would you have?
For every inch of snow, it roughly equates to about 1/10th of an inch of water once melted. Therefore, if there were 6 inches of snow, it would result in approximately 0.6 inches of water once melted.
How much does a cubic foot of snow weigh melted?
Melted snow is water. Water, because it is a liquid, is hard to weigh as you normally only weigh solids. Liquids would have to be measured litres or gallons. So the answer to that question would depend on how much snow had actually melted- eg. 12% ice and 78 % is water and 10% is debris caught in the snow as it fell
Does a solid block of glue weigh as much as the same block of glue melted?
Yes, it would be the same.
How much rainfall in arctic?
There isn't much rainfall in the arctic, about 6 to 10 inches a year including melted snow. Some of the worlds greatest desert get more rainfall than that. Much of the arctic has rain and fog in the summer. Even though there is very low rainfall the arctic lands can be very wet underfoot because the moisture evaporates very slowly and the drainage conditions are poor. :D
