Expert Answer

Due to melting of ice, the area of sea ice around both the poles is shrinking. It is expected that in the next 50 years, the ice at both the poles will melt completely and therefore the sea level will rise. Buildings and roads in the coastal areas will get flooded and they could suffer damage from hurricanes and tropical storms.
