All glaciers have been shrinking in the last 40 years/ Some say it is global warming. It is debatable if it is a natural cycle or caused by human interference.

How did Louis agassiz get his theory that glaciers covered the earth?

Louis Agassiz collected his evidence that glaciers covered most of the earth because he grew up and lived in Europe. In Europe he found several rocks that were very scratched and/or polished. And since there was nothing in Europe that pointed to why this happened he automatically thought that Europe was covered by glaciers. So we know that Agassiz loved to travel so when he traveled he saw more and more of these rocks in different places around the world. So if he figured that if he saw them in Europe that means there must have been alot of glaciers around the world. And now thanks to Mr. Louis Agassiz and our present technology we found that his theory of glaciers around the world was indeed correct. Tyler Hickey from the the Harvard Institute of America.


Are glaciers around the world changing size?

Glaciers are dynamic to begin with, meaning they are always changing in some way. But most glaciers around the world are currently losing mass - that is, they are melting more than they can gain through new snowfall - largely because of warming temperatures.


Are glaciers famous in Norway?

Yes, glaciers are famous in Norway. Norway is home to many glaciers, including the largest glacier in mainland Europe, the Jostedalsbreen Glacier. Glaciers are important natural attractions in Norway, drawing tourists from around the world to witness their beauty.

What part of the world are the glaciers melting in?

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.


What glaciers create cirques on sides of mountains?

Glaciers that create cirques on the sides of mountains are called cirque glaciers. These glaciers form in bowl-shaped depressions on the slopes of mountains and are responsible for eroding and shaping the characteristic amphitheater-like features known as cirques. Examples of cirque glaciers can be found in mountain ranges around the world, such as the Alps, Andes, and Himalayas.


What parts of the world were not covered with glaciers?

Fresh water in glaciers percent?

Approximately 69% of the world's fresh water is stored in glaciers and ice caps. These frozen reservoirs are a crucial source of freshwater for many regions around the world, particularly during dry seasons or droughts.


''Were are glaciers located?

Glaciers are mainly found near the polar regions, such as Antarctica and Greenland, as well as in high mountain ranges around the world, like the Alps, the Andes, and the Himalayas. Glaciers can also be found in some lower latitude regions depending on the climate and elevation.


What is a long narrow glacier that forms between mountains?

A long narrow glacier that forms between mountains is called a valley glacier. These glaciers flow down valleys, eroding the surrounding landscape as they move. Valley glaciers are common in mountainous regions around the world.
