Glaciers. Glaciers are massive streams of ice flowing down across the landscape. Gravity pulls them downward and their weight causes them to move, ever.

N o ice… devastating to the Polar Bear

1. Why doesn’t glacier melt effect the rise in sea level and land mass ice, like Antarctica, does? a) Glaciers are compiled of far less ice than Antarctica. b) Glaciers displace a volume of water that has a weight equal to that of the glacier. c) The surface area of Antarctica is greater allowing faster melting than glaciers. d) Glaciers displace a volume of water that has a greater weight than that of the glacier. 2. What effect does sea level rise have on the wildlife community? a) No effect. Wildlife can adapt to many situations or migrate if needed. b) Devastating effect. Drastic change in wildlife could damage the entire ecosystem. c) No effect. Natural selection will sort it all out. d) Devastating effect. Decreased wildlife means decreased car accidents that rid the world of bad drivers.
