The sun was the most reason of ice melting. But now, such as Industrial revolution and fossil fuels output green house gases alter the planet. For example, Columbia bay where is the fastest melting ice in the world, the ice is going to be collapsed faster than before. Scientists eventually discover about the

    Iceland glaciers are melting very fast. According to a Glaciologist Oddur Sigurosson, Iceland glaciers has been significantly shrinking over last 20 years and this has been scientifically proven to be the result of human-cause climate change. Since 1996, most of glaciers in Iceland had retreated about 500 square kilometer. It is melting at a rate of 1.3-1.8 meters per year. With this rate, Iceland’s glaciers could loss up to 40 square kilometer of ice per year. According to a new study by of group of geologist from the University of Arizona, melting glacier in Iceland is causing a reduction of pressure on the ground beneath them which cause the land to “rebound” from the Earth crust. Land in many places of south-center Iceland are rising about…

    This means that a period of colder global temperatures that features frequent glacial expansion across the Earth’s surface. Capable of it lasting for hundreds of millions of years, these periods are interspersed with steady warmer interglacial intervals in which at least one major ice sheet is existent. Earth is currently in the midst of an ice age, as the Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets remain intact despite moderate temperatures. Humans to are responsible for the melting of the ice because of the burning of the huge amounts of fossil fuels. The fossil fuel discharges lots of co2 and that ultimately generates a lot of heat, which means the increase of heat therefore leading to increase of melting of the ice…

    The Artic Sea ice is very thick and melting rapidly. Also, it covers millions of square miles on the polar region. The glaciers go away when the temperature gets warmer. Solar radiation received by the Earth also causes global warming. When the atmosphere gets polluted from carbon dioxide more radiation comes through and harms people. Earthquakes and volcanos affect the climate change. When the volcano erupts, the ashes from the cone come out and poisonous gases explode through the environment.…

Some people chose to believe the scientific theory as to how the glaciers were the cause of everything dealing with the ice age. They believe that the melting of the glaciers lasted for a very long time causing temperatures to increase and decrease. Other people chose to believe in the biblical theory. Some people believe that the flood from the book of Genesis was the reason that the ice age era even began. They also believe that the flood can be the explanation to the valleys, rocks,…

    Climate changes occur naturally over long periods of time on Earth, and it has been this way throughout Earth’s history. Currently, anthropological influences on earth have triggered a quickening rise in global temperatures and this in turn is causing a rapid change in earth’s climate. One of the major changes currently happening on earth is the melting of the polar ice caps. Major impacts relating to the melting of the polar ice caps include changes in ocean temperature, changes in ocean salinity, sea level rise/ flooding, changes in ocean circulations, loss of biodiversity, and loss of ecosystems as well as their services. All of these impacts could lead to devastating consequences for many…
