Sentences with phrase «hence less sea ice»

Not exact matches

Actually since ice is pretty much freshwater and hence less dense, when it melts in sea water the sea level will rise but only by a very small amount.

One reason for this is that ice is rapidly shrinking in the White Sea − a southern inlet of the Barents Sea on the north - west coast of Russia — and so less sunlight gets reflected back into space, while the open ocean is dark and hence warms more.
