The ice cap melting is a recent problem in
the environment. The melting began in the last 50 years with the global
warming. The temperature rises and the ice caps melt. I choose this because
it’s a problem in the environment that can raise tsunami’s probability and it
can destroy hundreds of places near the ocean (Rio, Vanuatu, Japan) and the
polar species.
A polar ice cap is a high latitude region of
a planet or natural satellite is covered in ice. The polar ice caps are melting
because of the release of methane gas, which is a warming gas, and the slowing
of the Atlantic Conveyor that brings warm water from the Gulf Stream to the
North Atlantic.
While some scientists offer that certain
areas in Greenland and Antarctica are abundant with ice caps due to the
increased of snowfall, they are still melting at an alarming rate.
