If antartica melts will it flood the whole planet earth?

Question

answer me plzz

Answer 1

"Most of the current global land ice mass is located in the Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets (table 1). Complete melting of these ice sheets could lead to a sea-level rise of about 80 meters, whereas melting of all other glaciers could lead to a sea-level rise of only one-half meter. "

Answer 2

from what i read and seen on TV the answer would be no however our landscape will have changed forever as the water will come inland .if the polls keep melting the worry should not be how far the water comes inland but when the fresh water hits a certain amount its going to stop the circulation in the ocean which is going to have big impacts on the climate of our earth . now scientist cant agree whats going to happen but they all agree something is going to happen . stronger storms mabe , ice age poss, maybe globule warming to where we as people cant survive .every ones guessing and its not far from happening.

Answer 3

it will not flood the whole planet earth it will at the most rise afew 1 to 200 feet

Answer 4

Actually, the sea level would not rise appreciably--at least, not at first. Arctic ice is floating in water, and when melted, takes up less volume than ice does. This is an oversimplification, though, since the climate changes accompanying the increased amount of seawater--which would then evaporate in larger volumes, resulting in increased rainfall, etc.--are harder to predict.

It is the ice that is sitting on land that is important. Melting of continental ice sheets acts to raise sea-levels. According to the Third Assessment Report of the International Panel on Climate Change, The ice contained within Greenland Ice Sheet represents a sea-level rise equivalent of 7.2 metres. The ice contained within the Antarctic Ice-sheet represents 61.1 metres of sea-level change.

That is, if both the Antarctic Ice-Sheet, and the Greenland Ice-Sheet were to melt, sea-level would rise by 68.3 metres.

Answer 5

No, but that would really stink.
