Both natural processes and human activity are causing some of Earth's permanent bodies of ice to melt. If enough of this ice melts, it will add warm freshwater to the northern Atlantic Ocean, where deep water currents start. What effect is this likely to have on the circulation of ocean water around the globe?

Answer: Destruction of habitats and higher oceans

When the ice sheets start to melt, the water level starts increasing. The reduction of the glaciers will destroy the habitat for animals to live in and so floods will occur.
