Melting Glaciers

Melting glaciers refer to the process where ice masses in mountainous regions and polar areas diminish due to rising global temperatures. As the Earth warms, glaciers lose ice faster than they accumulate new snow, leading to shrinking sizes and contributing to rising sea levels. This loss affects ecosystems, freshwater supplies, and weather patterns. Additionally, melting glaciers can release long-trapped greenhouse gases, further exacerbating climate change. Understanding this phenomenon highlights the impact of climate change on our planet and emphasizes the need for action to reduce carbon emissions and protect these vital ice reserves.
