1.	explain if the ice on the polar caps of the earth melts how will it affect the duration of the day
Answer» Days would get slightly longer . This is because the liquid water would distribute more evenly about the globe rather than all being near the poles, so the Earth\'s moment of inertia would increase. Since the Earth\'s angular momentum will not change, that means that its angular velocity (rate of turning) will decrease.
