Global warming results in the_____ of ice caps. 

  1. Melting
  2. Boiling
  3. Freezing
  4. Cooling

hintHint:

An increase in temperature of earth due to release of greenhouse gases is called global warming.

The correct answer is: Melting


    Since the industrial revolution, carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions have raised temperatures, even higher in the poles, and as a result, glaciers are rapidly melting, calving off into the sea.
    Hence, global warming results in the melting of ice caps.
