- A rise in the temperature of the air around the glacier.
- Increasing accumulation of dust [from volcanic eruptions for one example] on the glacier's surface. The "dirtier" the the surface of the glacier's ice, the less sunlight it reflects, and the more sunlight it absorbs, increasing its surface temperature, and causing increased melting.
- Glaciers are melting because of Global Warming . The toxic chemicals that come from things like cars and factories make an attraction to the sun there for it heats up the earth . This is actually very bad because glaciers cool the atmosphere , and if they're gone the whole entire planet will heat up the a degree where nothing can live on it , and that also goes for the icebergs etc .

Is antartika occean is full of glacier?
Yes, the Antarctica ocean is full of glaciers. However, over the years the glaciers are melting away. The cause of the melting is said to be global warming.
Why is the melting of glaciers an urgent environmental concern?
Why is the melting of glaciers an urgent enviromental concern
Can melting glaciers increase ocean acidity?
No. Melting glaciers add clean fresh water to the oceans, so their melting decreases ocean acidity.
What type of phase change is occurring in glaciers?
melting is happening to the glaciers.

What will happen when glaciers in Himalayas melts?
The sea level will increase and a considerable portion of the Indian plate will go under sea, the cause of this melting of glaciers is Global warming and depletion of Ozone layer.
