What effect does global warming have on water?
the oceans levels are rising and the ocean is getting warmer the oceans level is rising cause the ice is melting.
What are the materials deposited by water wind and melting glaciers?
sediments
How does water move across the surface of the Earth?
Floods Waterfalls Glaciers melting into water bodies rain (water cycle)
Do disappearing glaciers cause water shortages?
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.
What holds 95 percent of the earths fresh water supply?
Glaciers
What is melting glaciers?
water
What effect does global warming have on water?
the oceans levels are rising and the ocean is getting warmer the oceans level is rising cause the ice is melting.
Can melting glaciers increase ocean acidity?
No. Melting glaciers add clean fresh water to the oceans, so their melting decreases ocean acidity.
What causes water to rise?
the melting of ice or glaciers
What do melting glaciers end up being?
Water
What are the materials deposited by water wind and melting glaciers?
sediments
Why is the glacier melting a threat to water supplies?
The lower parts of glaciers melt and the water flows to fill the rivers downstream. If global warming causes the whole glacier to melt, then the rivers will lose their mountain supply and the lives of people downstream, who rely on water for living and agriculture will be threatened.
What percentage of Earth's water is found in glaciers?
About 1.7 percent (and falling, as many glaciers are melting due to climate change).
Which processes decrease the saltinity of sea water?
runoff from land
What in the water cycle involves returning of fresh water to the earth?
precipitation A+
How Beringia was form?
Because the water level went down, because the glaciers were not melting.
How does water move across the surface of the Earth?
Floods Waterfalls Glaciers melting into water bodies rain (water cycle)
