How do glaciers not melt?

Answer 1

At this point the easiest and cheapest thing to do would be to reduce your carbon emission. You can do this be driving less, changing light bulbs to LED or CFL bulbs, and turning off the lights when you leave the room. Other things you can do are air dry cloths, recycle more (it takes less energy to recycle then make new things), and keep your AC at 72 degrees or higher.

This will save the glaciers because to make the power that operates everything electric, you tend to have to burn coal or gas. This creates CO2 that traps heat in the atmosphere, which melts glaciers. So the less power you use, the less CO2 made and eventually less glacial melting.

Answer 2

Glaciers do melt, but they can maintain their size by accumulating more snow in winter than they lose through melting in summer. Glaciers are sustained by a delicate balance between accumulation (snowfall) and ablation (melting and sublimation). If the rate of melting exceeds the rate of snow accumulation, the glacier will shrink.

Answer 3

The amount of snow or ice input must be greater than the amount of snow melt.

Answer 4

we could stop polluting the water and land

Answer 5

because its so cold in the north.
