We hear a lot about sea levels rising and why climate change is bad for that. Ice melting into the oceans will cause sea levels to rise, but there’s a difference between ice already in the sea, sea ice, and ice on the land, land ice. Both forms of ice will melt if the average global temperature continues to rise, but what impact will this have on sea levels? With glaciers receding at an alarming rate, and sea ice disappearing each year, does this mean sea levels will continue to rise? In this experiment we’ll look at the difference between the two
