What is pack ice also known as? - answerInsulation. The sea ice layer restricts wind and wave action near coastlines, lessening coastal erosion and protecting ice shelves. Sea ice also creates an insulating cap across the ocean surface, which reduces evaporation and heat loss to the atmosphere. How does sea ice protect coastlines? - answerProtects against erosion How does sea ice protect the ocean? - answerreduces evaporation of sea water and heat loss What is the temperature difference in...
