If global warming continues, then glaciers, which are like rivers of ice, will continue to melt and finally disappear. Many of the world's great rivers get water from the spring melting of glaciers, so if glaciers vanish, the rivers and the people who rely on them, will be threatened.

What will happen when glaciers in Himalayas melts?

Melting glaciers in the Himalayas will lead to an increase in water flow initially, causing immediate floods and eventual water scarcity as the glaciers continue to deplete. This will impact freshwater availability for millions of people who rely on these glaciers for their water supply. Additionally, the melting glaciers will contribute to sea-level rise, threatening coastal areas worldwide.


What are the future predictions for glaciers?

Future predictions for glaciers indicate that they will continue to retreat and shrink due to climate change, primarily driven by rising global temperatures. Studies project that many glaciers could lose a significant portion of their mass by the end of the century, contributing to rising sea levels and altering freshwater availability in various regions. Some estimates suggest that if current warming trends persist, nearly 70% of the world's glaciers could be gone by 2100. This loss would have widespread ecological and socio-economic impacts, affecting water supply, ecosystems, and communities dependent on glacial meltwater.
