Antarctica: Huge Glacier, Huge Risk

Antarctica: Huge Glacier, Huge Risk Since the 20th-century glaciers have been melting at an alarming rate and thus leaving our planet iceless. Human beings are responsible for the emission of CO2 and other greenhouse gases. How recrystallized snow evolves dictates the sea level and therefore the global stability as a whole. For more than half a century the Earth's glaciers have been receding as the climate changes rapidly. According to a 2019 satellite study, no place on earth can withstand the effects of the phenomenon that is responsible for the melting of 9.6 billion tons of glacial ice in the world since 1961. All of this combined threatens to melt a third of all glaciers by 2100, as cited by the World Wildlife Fund. WHAT IS A GLACIER AND HOW IS IT FORMED? Glaciers are formed as blocks of moving ice arise due to snow accumulation in cold places which compacts and recrystallizes. For example the mountain and polar glaciers. Glaciers are classified according to the...
