How will melting glaciers affect the mountain streams and rivers downstream?

If mountain glaciers disappear there will be no source for many mountain streams, which will then dry up. Many rivers will be reduced in size as a result.


What type of phase change is occurring in glaciers?

The phase change occurring in glaciers is solid to solid, where water vapor or liquid water freezes into solid ice. Over time, this process of accumulation and compaction of snow forms the dense ice masses that make up glaciers.


Did glaciers melt in ice age?

Glaciers had been melting all the time even in ice age. This is caused by the movement of the water lifting the glacier up and down creating a crack ripping the ice from the glacier. Then the iceberg flows away and when it reaches warmer waters it starts to melt. Glaciers had been melting even in ice age


How does melting of glaciers and sea ice lead to more melting?

When glaciers and sea ice melt, they reduce the Earth's albedo (reflectivity), causing more sunlight to be absorbed rather than reflected back to space. This leads to increased warming and further melting of glaciers and sea ice. Additionally, as ice melts, it exposes darker surfaces underneath (like water or land), which absorb more heat and perpetuate the melting cycle.


What kind of glaciers form when ice and snow build up in a mountain valley?

Valley glaciers form when ice and snow accumulate in a mountain valley due to the accumulation of snow exceeding the rate of melting. Over time, the ice flows downhill, shaping the valley and creating a distinct U-shaped profile.

Is melting glaciers a proper noun?

No, the term 'melting glaciers' is a noun phrase made up of the noun 'glaciers' a common noun, and the adjective 'melting'.A proper noun is the name of a specific person, place, thing, or a title; for example:Glacier National Park, MTMelting Shadows Lane, Houston, TXGlacier Hotel, Khon Kaen Province, ThailandThe Melting Pot (fondue restaurant), Syracuse, NY

moraine damming up runoff from melting continental glaciers.


How do glaciers change the climate of a location?

Glaciers are large masses of COLD. When they get smaller, the micro-climate nearby warms up, further speeding up more melting, which leads to slightly more warming, and so on.

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.


Why are polar bear's homes melting?

Polars bears homes are melting mainly because of global warming. The toxic wastes that cars and factories make, makes an attraction to the sun which slowly heats up the earth. This is bad because glaciers cool the atmosphere and if there are no glaciers, the planet will slowly heat up to a degree that nothing would be able to live in (including humans).
