Why Is Arctic Ice Melting?
Why is Arctic Ice Melting The Arctic acts like a mirror placed on top of earth. If that mirror isn’t there, the sun's heat will warm the oceans, and it will melt the ice. There are two cups of water with the same about of ice, with the same temperature, you put cup a out in the microwave and the other in the a room with windows. Which ice will melt first? Obviously the ice in the microwave will melt because the microwave traps heat from previous uses, this heat is called CO2. The one in the room will melt slower because there are not extra heat. In return, the oceans release more moisture, which appears to affect atmospheric circulation and cause melting in Arctic ice. This’ll further increases global warming. According to one NASA mission
