Ocean Ice Interaction

Ocean-ice interaction describes how ice sheets and glaciers interact with the ocean, influencing each other's behavior. When ocean water melts parts of ice sheets or glaciers, it can weaken and cause them to retreat. Conversely, cold ocean currents can slow melting or even cause ice to grow. This interaction affects sea levels and climate patterns globally. It’s a dynamic process driven by temperature, ocean currents, and ice properties, playing a crucial role in understanding climate change and sea level rise.
