Glaciers are crucial sources of water for people and crops. A melting glacier can at first increase stream flow, but eventually the flow will decrease. When flows in these rivers begin to decline, the region's farmers could face a crisis.

Why is aquifer important?
An aquifer is important because it is a major source of water for irrigation and wells. Depleting an aquifer can cause serious water shortages for many years.
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.
Water shortages can result from?
precipitation
How can erosion cause weathering?
Erosion does not cause weathering. Erosion is a TYPE of weathering in which surface soil and rock are worn away through the action of glaciers, water, and wind.
Do glaciers contain saltwater?
Glaciers are formed from the compaction of snow, therefore they are strictly a fresh water formation.

How glaciers cause weathering?
because when its freezing the water turn into glaciers
Why are glaciers important to your ecological system?
cause glaciers turn into water and we drink it
Can acidic water cause glaciers to melt?
Water can speed up the rate at which glaciers melt. Whether the water is acidic or not has no effect.
Why does glaciers and polar ice caps have greatest amount of fresh water?
Cause Of Snow Marins And Glaciers
What forces cause deposition?
Deposition is caused by glaciers, water, and wind.
Wind water and glaciers all cause .?
erosion
Why do some places suffer water shortages?
Water shortages can be caused by overuse of the available water resources. it can also be caused by drought or a shortage of rainfall. Diversion of water sources to other areas can also cause shortages.
What cause the water storage in most areas of world?
It could be one of 2 1. There are water Shortages 2. the water that we/they usually consume its dirty, un-clean ECT

Did wind and water cause erosion to wear away the Appalachian mountains?
Yes but so did glaciers advancing and retreating
