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.

What happen when glaciers melt a cirque?
What can happen when the glacier melts in a cirque
How greenhouse effect contribute in increasing sea level?
It melts the glaciers making the sea levels rise
What is the temperature of the melting point of glaciers?
A glacier is ice, which melts just above 0 Celsius or 32 Fahrenheit.
Can glaciers only develop on the snow line?
No, glaciers can develop below the snow line. While the snow line is the altitude at which snow accumulates and exceeds melting, glaciers can form and persist in areas where snow falls and compacts into ice faster than it melts. Glaciers can exist in both high-altitude and polar regions.
Why does India have glaciers that are over 240 years old if it is located at the equator?
India is not at the equator, though it is located at a latitude generally associated with warm climate. The glaciers of India are in the Himalayas, the tallest mountain range in the world. No matter the latitude, it is always cold at high elevation. Even at the equator, the air more than 5 kilometers above sea level is almost always below freezing. Temperatures in the Himalayas are certainly low enough to support the formation of glaciers.

Do the Himalayas have any glaciers?
Yes. There are many glaciers in the Himalayas.
Do the Himalayas have glaciers?
Yes they do.
What is it like in the Himalayas?
The climate near the Himalayas is extremely harsh, ranging from humid to icy. There are glaciers, rivers, forests, and jungles.
What do glaciers give us to drink?
glaciers are just lots of ice. when this ice melts it turns into H2O (water). so glaciers give us water to drink.
How Is global warming on the Himalayas a threat for Asian water?
The Ganges and the Indus Rivers, and many smaller ones in Pakistan, India, Bangladesh and Burma and are all fed with melting water from the Himalayas. The water comes from glaciers in the mountains. If global warming melts the glaciers in the Himalayan Mountains as it is beginning to, then these great rivers, that millions of people rely on, will dry up. Global warming through human emissions are particularly noted in this area as tourists bring fuels in and the tourist trade itself is blamed for a great deal of the melting of these glaciers.

What is the definition of glaciers?
Glaciers entering the sea and separating into smaller segments of ice.
What happens when a glacier melts?

How greenhouse effect contribute in increasing sea level?
It melts the glaciers making the sea levels rise
Why is snow and glacier loss a particular problem in the Himalayas?
The river and spring systems that run from the ice/glacier in the Himalayas is a source of drinking water for residents living in regions close to the Himalayas. If the glaciers melt away the residents lose their source of drinking water.
What is the landscape in the Himalayas like?
The Himalayas is a mountain range in the north-eastern part of India, Nepal, Pakistan and China, among others. The Himalayas is a rugged region. It is largely snow-covered, and there are around 15,000 glaciers in the region. The Himalayas is the birthplace of major rivers such as the Ganga, Brahmaputra and the Indus. There are several lakes, forests and cultivated lands in the lower regions of the Himalayas.
What will happen to glaciers if there is global warming?
they will melt
