Why Are Glaciers Melting at Riley Heinig blog

Why Are Glaciers Melting. As the earth heats up due to climate change, glaciers are melting. The new research suggests that the world's glaciers are. Specifically, the greenland and antarctic ice sheets are the largest contributors of global sea level rise. Glaciers, the creeping ancient giants of the cryosphere, are relics of earth’s past yet incredibility relevant to its present and future. Melting glaciers add to rising sea levels, which in turn increases coastal erosion and elevates storm surge as warming air and ocean temperatures create more frequent and intense coastal storms like hurricanes and typhoons. An ice cube’s surface melts when it’s exposed to ambient (warm) air. From the arctic to peru, from switzerland to the equatorial glaciers of man jaya in indonesia, massive ice fields, monstrous glaciers, and sea ice are disappearing, fast. As the ice melts, the point where it attaches to the bedrock at the bottom of the ocean (commonly known as the “grounding line”) recedes inland, which can cause the glaciers to become less stable. The world's glaciers are melting at an accelerating rate, according to a comprehensive new study. And while warm air certainly melts the surface of glaciers. The world's glaciers are melting at an accelerating rate, according to a comprehensive new study.
