1. A decline in Ice Cover
2. The Earth's climate is a complex interconnected system. Thus, it is difficult to determine the exact causes for the ice melt in the Arctic Ocean.
3. ocean salinity will decrease
There has been a consistent decline in the overall extent of the ice surface, with roughly a third less ice observed since 1978.
Understanding the rapid melting of sea ice in the Arctic Ocean is challenging due to the Earth's intricate and interconnected climate system, making it difficult to pinpoint specific causes.
So, The primary composition of the ice in the Arctic Ocean is freshwater. Consequently, if the entirety of this ice were to melt, it would lead to a substantial decrease in ocean salinity, thereby influencing global ocean currents.
