text: I assume your question refers to... if the ice in the north pole were to melt why would it destroy the ozone, and why would there be more fossil fuel released... and how did the fossil fuel get their?\n\nWell the 7 continents use to be a single continent called Pangea, at the end of the Triassic period the land mass began to split apart.  Millions of years later there was an ice age.  Animals use the ice as passageways to other lands.  Many died during the crossings.  This supplies us fossil fuel.\n\nAs far as the effects of the ice melting im afraid I could find no information on that.... sorry.
