From what I've read recently, Glacier melt activity is happening all over/around the Earth; the Arctic Glaciers are receeding, the Antarctic Glaciers are receeding, the Glaciers in Glacier National Park in the US are almost gone, and the Glaciers in the Alps are receeding.

Why are ice caps on mountains not melting?
Ice caps and glaciers are melting. They melt during summer and build up again during winter, especially if snow falls. One or two glaciers in the world are actually increasing. But most glaciers and ice caps are losing ice.
Is there any evidence that global warming is responsible for melting the worlds glaciers?
It's logical. If the earth is warming, and scientists (and our own experiences) tell us that it is, then one of the effects of a warming atmosphere is that it warms things in the atmosphere. Glaciers are exposed to the air, the air is warmer, and so the glaciers melt. Therefore, global warming is responsible for melting the world's glaciers.
Glaciers can only form when?
Glaciers form when the rate of snow fall exceeds the rate of melting.
What are the materials deposited by water wind and melting glaciers?
sediments
How did glaciers help form the geography of the Midwest?
Glaciers helped form the geography of the Midwest because they created the 5 Great Lakes, while they were melting.
What are the sign of ending of the world?
global warming melting of glaciers
Why is the melting of glaciers an urgent environmental concern?
Why is the melting of glaciers an urgent enviromental concern
What part of the earth is melting because of global warming?
Glaciers and ice caps are melting. The ice over Greenland is melting and so is the Arctic sea ice.
Are most of the world's glaciers advancing retreating or remaining stable?
Most of the world's glaciers are retreating. The glaciers have been retreating slowly since 1850 but since 1980 they have been melting at much faster rates.
What process forms and valleys?
Glaciers, mostly Glaciers Melting
What is happening to mountain glaciers and why is this of concern?
the moutains glaciers are melting.
What do melting glaciers have to do with science?
?
What is melting glaciers?
water
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.
Why are ice caps on mountains not melting?
Ice caps and glaciers are melting. They melt during summer and build up again during winter, especially if snow falls. One or two glaciers in the world are actually increasing. But most glaciers and ice caps are losing ice.
How lake was made?
By the melting of glaciers
