　　2.that are already hanging on by a thread
　　That= ice shelves (因为后面的动词是are)
　　Ice shelves are already hanging on by a thread
　　3.causing large chunks of ice to break off and contribute to rising sea levels
　　= the meltwater cause large chunks of ice to break off and contribute to rising sea levels
