Question

If the ice at the poles melts and flows towards the equator, how will it affect the duration of day-night?

Answer 1

Answer:

If the ice melted at both poles the water would ALL flow down to the South Pole and make a big drop of water!! It would never flow both ..

i hope it's help to you

Answer 2

Explanation:

• If the ice at the poles melts and flows towards the equator, the duration of day and night increases i.e. the earth rotates slower.
• This is because, as the water stagnant near the poles runs towards the equator, it gets evenly distributed at the equator.
• As a result, the equator becomes broad and heavy, rising and reducing the moment of inertia and the angular velocity of the earth respectively.  
• This phenomenon would be a very minute change and may not be able to feel the difference.
