North pole?
If all the ice from the north
pole were to melt this summer,
how will it affect us. Will
the oceans rise to levels we
have not seen before. It is
said as the years go on there
will be less and less ice.
Should we be very concerned.

Copy and Paste: Melting of the Arctic ice cap does not contribute to sea level rise. Floating ice, like that around the North Pole, already displaces water, like ice cubes in a glass of tea. When the ice melts, sea level remains unchanged, though salinity can be altered. The major sea level rise associated with global warming would come if the massive ice sheets covering Greenland and Antarctica melt and flow into the oceans.

How much more do you weight at A 72.0 kg man weighs himself
at the north pole and at the
equator. It is said that you
will weigh more at the north
pole. How much more will you
weight at the north pole then
at the equator?
human intuition will say the
same weight but according to
physics its wrong....ignore
the ice..its the direction of
the normal and weight that
matters

Since you are probably comparing weight at sea level over open ocean with similar crust and mantle to make all things otherwise equal, you will weigh a bit more at the pole, since the earth is an oblate spheroid, and the distance to the center is less at the pole. http://curious.astro.cornell.e du/question.php?number=310 (Other answerings should research before they post!) |
