Why are glaciers dirty?
Glaciers appear dirty due to the accumulation of debris, such as dust, soil, and rock particles, which can be carried by wind or washed in by meltwater. This debris, along with microorganisms and algae, can darken the ice, reducing its albedo (reflectivity) and causing it to absorb more sunlight. As a result, the glacier melts at an accelerated rate. Additionally, pollutants from human activity can contribute to this "dirty" appearance, affecting glaciers worldwide.
What is a big ball of dirty ice and snow?
A large mass of dirty ice and snow could be a glacier. Glaciers are made up of accumulated snowfall that compresses into ice over time. The dirt and debris in glaciers come from rocks and sediment picked up as the glacier moves and erodes the landscape.
Reasons for gradation of glaciers?
Being made of ice, glaciers retreat when the rate of melt exceeds the rate of growth. That is, of course, the simple answer. Scientists seem to agree that the retreat of glaciers is directly connected with global warming. It also appears that the process is accelerating inasmuch as surface water on glaciers remains unfrozen.
