(10) Propose two to three ideas about what could cause changes in an ice elevation. sheet’s Part 3: Greenland mass loss predictions Now that you have looked at some Greenland ice elevation data, it is time to predict where you would expect the greatest changes in to occur. An increase in ice mass indicates that a ice mass particular glacier is growing. In contrast, a glacier that exhibits a decrease in ice mass is shrinking. Instructions: Notice that on your blank map you have been given a scale bar with labeled “prediction,” different colors representing large decrease in ice mass, slight decrease in ice mass, no change in ice mass, slight increase in ice mass, and large increase in ice mass. Using this scale, please shade the four study sites circled on the map to reflect your predictions about how much relative ice mass change has occurred in these areas from 2003 to 2012. You have an identical blank map labeled this map, please make some “evidence.” On written notes in each of the 4 study sites about the that you used to make your evidence
