With an increase in temperature glaciers worldwide are melting faster than the time taken for new ice layers to form‚ sea water is getting hotter and expanding causing sea levels to rise‚ rivers overflow due to melting glaciers causing floods‚ forest fires are on the rise‚ and innumerable undesired effects are taking place due to global warming.

The cryosphere is a term which describes a place of the Earth’s surface where water is in solid form‚ include snow‚ ice‚ glaciers‚ ice shelves‚ ice caps… The cryosphere is a part of global climate system. Now‚ we are facing with this big problem‚ the global warming is a one of the most important‚ but it also cause this problem‚ the melting ice. The whole amounts of ice are melting and shrink slowly by the time‚ the main reason is temperature rising. The cryosphere is also melting beneath the ground

the complete melting of all the world’s glaciers would‚ at its highest impact‚ end the existence of every living organism on this planet‚ mainly due to the seventy meter rise in sea level! (Weimer). The uncontrollable floods‚ non-availability of fresh water for drinking and irrigation to grow food‚ and a colossal rise in sea level would not only depopulate coastal regions‚ but it would kill all of the animals that depend on glacial runoff water to survive. This‚ in turn‚ would destroy eco-systems that

This point is used to define the units of temperature (the kelvin‚ the SI unit of thermodynamic temperature and‚ indirectly‚ the degree Celsius and even the degree Fahrenheit). As a consequence‚ water’s triple point temperature is a prescribed value rather
