18. Base your answer to the following question on the following map and passage. The map shows theextent of summer ice-melt zones on Greenland in 1992 and 2002. The summer melt zone is an areawhere summer heat turns snow and ice around the edges of the ice sheet into slush and ponds ofmeltwater. Three coastal locations are shown on the map.

Arctic Meltdown

Scientists are concerned because average arctic temperatures are rising. The Greenland Ice Sheet, thedominant area of continental ice in the arctic region, broke all previous records for melting in 2002.In 2004, the total amount of ice resting on top of the continental crust in the arctic region wasestimated to be about 3,100,000 cubic kilometers. If all this ice were to melt, the ocean levels would

rise approximately 8.5 meters. A reduction in ice-covered areas exposes more land surfaces. Thisincreases absorption of insolation and accelerates arctic warming. Scientists continue to collect datato define the role of greenhouse gases in the warming of the arctic region.
