Ice shelves do not contribute. An ice shelf is a thick, floating slab of ice that forms where a glacier or ice flows down a coastline. An ice sheet is a mass of glacial ice more than 50,000 square kilometers (19,000 square miles). While glaciers are defined as large sheets of ice and snow on land,. Ice sheets are much larger than glaciers. Ice sheets contain about 99% of the fresh water on earth, and are sometimes. Unlike glaciers and ice sheets which form on land, sea ice—frozen ocean water—forms, grows, and melts in the ocean. Ice shelves are floating tongues of ice that extend from glaciers grounded on land. Because ice shelves are exposed to both the air above and the ocean below, ice shelves respond more quickly than ice sheets or glaciers to rising temperatures. The height of the antarctica's largest ice shelf, the ross ice shelf, looms in the background with sea ice.
