A friend says to you, "Who cares about melting ice at the poles? We do not live near ice sheets or glaciers so melting ice will not impact us." Refute your friend's claim by explaining how the current melting of ice observed in the cryosphere causes a negative effect to another Earth's sphere. Your explanation needs to:

identify the sphere that is affected; spheres are hydrosphere, geosphere, biosphere, or atmosphere. (3 points)
explain how the sphere is affected by melting ice with scientific evidence and reasoning from this lesson and/or previous lessons in this unit. (3 points)
explain one melting ice and its impact on Earth's spheres can impact humans. (4 points)
