Glaciers grow when accumulation of snow and ice exceeds melting and sublimation, typically in colder climates with sufficient precipitation. Conversely, they recede when warmer temperatures lead to increased melting, especially during summer months, or when there is a reduction in snowfall. Climate change, particularly global warming, has accelerated glacier retreat in many regions by altering temperature and precipitation patterns. Additionally, changes in local conditions, such as volcanic activity or shifts in wind patterns, can also affect glacier dynamics.
