Water can speed up the rate at which glaciers melt. Whether the water is acidic or not has no effect.

What two things could you observe when glaciers melt?

When glaciers melt, you could observe an increase in the volume of water in rivers and lakes downstream. Also, you might notice the retreat or disappearance of the glacier's front edge, leading to changes in the landscape.


Why does the ocean gain acid when glaciers melt?

Melting glaciers are associated with elevated levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide, and carbon dioxide dissolves in water to form carbonic acid, hence, the oceans become more acidic.

If the glaciers melt what would happen to the sea level over a long time?

As glaciers melt the sea level rises and cause the water to get deeper.Which comes t the theory global warming.If the theory is true the eventullay all land masses would become covered by water.


Why are glaciers still on the earth if its so warm?

Glaciers are located in nearly freezing water and the global warming is slowly heating the water which makes the glaciers melt.


How do glaciers weather valleys?

they melt and put water in the valleys and they grow


How does glaciers couse erosion?

I'm not sure if I'm right with this but I think glaciers cause erosion when they melt? I'm honestly not sure.


How are glaciers and a sliding Ice cube similar?

glaciers slide slowly when they melt and there is water under them similarly as ice cubes.


Why huge glaciers do not melt in sun.whereas ice cubes taken out from refrigerators melt within minutes?

It's not that glaciers don't melt in the sun; if you watch videos of glaciers you'll see water pouring off them. The difference is size: it takes far less time for a one-ounce ice cube to melt than a million-gallon glacier.


Reasons for gradation of glaciers?

Being made of ice, glaciers retreat when the rate of melt exceeds the rate of growth. That is, of course, the simple answer. Scientists seem to agree that the retreat of glaciers is directly connected with global warming. It also appears that the process is accelerating inasmuch as surface water on glaciers remains unfrozen.


Do glaciers cause water erosion?

Glaciers cause erosion because of the immense weight and pressure they can exude onto surfaces. Fine grains of sediment get lodged into the bottom and sides of the glacier, making it so abrasive that it scratches grooves into rock as it moves.


Do glaciers end up in water?

Yes, glaciers can end up in water when they melt or calve. As glaciers advance, they may reach coastlines or bodies of water, where chunks of ice break off and create icebergs. Additionally, when glaciers melt due to rising temperatures, the resulting meltwater can flow into lakes, rivers, or oceans. This process contributes to sea level rise and changes in local ecosystems.
