Hello,

Can someone please show how to solve this problem?

Thank you!

### Impact of Ice-Cap Melting on Planet Earth Two significant considerations arise when discussing the impacts of ice-cap melting on Earth: changes in sea level and changes in the length of the day. #### a. Extent of Sea-Ice and Land-Ice - Find realistic measurements for the extent of sea-ice and ice over landmasses in both the Arctic and Antarctic regions. #### b. Sea-Level Rise Scenarios - Assess how much the sea level would rise if: 1. Only the ice in Greenland melted. 2. All global ice melted. #### c. Modeling Earth's Inertia - Develop a simple yet reasonable model of the Earth, incorporating its ice caps, to calculate the moment of inertia. #### d. Changes in Length of Day - Calculate the change in the length of the day if: 1. Only the Greenland ice melted. 2. All global ice melted. #### e. Data Comparison - Locate and cite a reputable internet source for data on ice melt impacts, including the reference and link. Compare these findings with your own calculations to evaluate any differences given the simplifications made in the model.
