2.The arctic sea ice is frozen ocean water that forms and melts in the ocean to help and keep
polar regions a moderate and cool global climate. The ice melting speeds up global warming
and climate change. Due to arctic ice melting, oceans surrounding absorb sunlight causing it to
heat up making it warm. In conclusion, global warming is what causes the ice at the arctic sea to
melt. Long term trends are important because the earth's climate is changing.
3.melting sea ice melts in warmer temperatures but does not contribute to sea rise in an away
because sea ice is in the water. The water's volume is displaced as ice is about the saem as the
volume of the water that is added to the ocean when melted.
