I heard on the news that Antarctica is slowly melting, is this because Antarctica is moving on its plate, slowly moving North so it gets warmer?
As far as we can tell, even though Australia is moving away from Antarctica, Antarctica is pretty much staying over the South Pole. It is thought that some of the ice on Antarctica is melting because the world’s climate is warming. This may be due to increased levels of ‘greenhouse’ gases in the atmosphere as a consequence of human air pollution.
