Card #19: Melting of Ice Sheets

Causes Consequences
Front of the card "Melting of Ice Sheets"


Continental glaciers (or ice sheets) are in Greenland and Antarctica.
If they melt completely, they will cause a rise in ocean levels of 7 meters for Greenland and 54 meters for Antarctica.
During the last ice age, ice sheets were so much larger that the sea level was 120 m lower than today.
