Hello again we hope everyone is in good condition and this time we would like to share one of the effect of global warming. As we all known global warming had effect our earth badly, and one of the obvious damage done by global warming is the melting of glacier.
Firstly, let us ask ourselves what is glacier. We are sure that most of you thought of ice or snow. Glacier is the formation of falling snow and remains in one location for a period of time in order to transform into ice. Therefore for over many it compressed into large and thickened ice masses. And what make glacier special, is their ability to move like water only it is in the form of ice, and due to sheer mass, glaciers flow like very slow rivers. Presently, glacier occupied 10% of the earth total land area, and most of it located near polar regions like Antarctica and Greenland.
Meanwhile due to the global warming, the beauty of glacier is slowly fading away, and jeopardizes million of people on earth. Glacier melting can cause droughts, floods, and lack of drinking water. Furthermore, animal species such as Royal Bengal tiger, Kittlitz’s murrelet and Coral reefs facing the probability of extinct because of the melting of glacier increased the sea level. Sea-level rise affected coastal regions throughout the world, causing flooding, erosion, and saltwater intrusion into aquifers and freshwater habitats.
Finally thank you for reading our blog.
