    Antarctica contains 90% of the world's glacier ice. ​If it were all to melt, by how much would it raise global sea levels? - ProProfs

    Antarctica contains 90% of the world's glacier ice. ​If it were all to melt, by how much would it raise global sea levels?

    • 25 metre

    • 50 centimeter 

    • 3 metre 

    • 60 metre

    Correct Answer
    A. 60 metre
    Explanation
    Antarctica contains 90% of the world's glacier ice, and if it were all to melt, it would raise global sea levels by 60 meters. This is because the ice in Antarctica is incredibly vast and thick, and if it were to melt, it would release a massive amount of water into the oceans. This would lead to a significant rise in sea levels worldwide, causing widespread flooding and displacement of coastal communities.

    Sea cucumbers breathe through their _____________________

    • Gills 

    • Nose

    • Anus

    • Skin

    Correct Answer
    A. Anus
    Explanation
    Sea cucumbers have a unique way of breathing. They draw water into their bodies through their anus and extract oxygen from it using specialized structures called respiratory trees. These respiratory trees are connected to the anus and help in the exchange of gases, allowing the sea cucumber to obtain oxygen and release carbon dioxide. This adaptation allows them to effectively breathe underwater, making the anus the correct answer.
