Los glaciares también forman parte del medio ambiente y la naturaleza del planeta Tierra.

1. GLACIERS
B Y M A R I A J O S E A N D M A N U E L A

2. LAND GLACIER
Glaciers form on land, and they are
made up of fallen snow that gets
compressed into ice over many
centuries. They move slowly downward
from the pull of gravity.

3. 02
Contributes water to the
ecosystem throughout dry months,
creating perennial stream habitat
and a water source for plants and
animals.
GLACIER DAMAGE
01
Glaciers appear on almost every
continent. However, glaciers are
rapidly melting due to the
warming climate.
03
increases coastal erosion and
elevates storm surge
04
Many aquatic species in
mountainous environments require
cold water temperatures to
survive.

4. biodiversity loss
There are a lot of living organisms that live
in glaciers and if we don’t protect this
habitat, animals that live there might
dissapear.
CONSEQUENCES OF THE DESTRUCTION OF
GLACIERS
sea level rise
Ice glaciers contain 3500 km of
ice, which if it melted, it would raise
global sea level by 1 cm.
rock torrents
If rocks falls into glaciers, it may cause
tsunamis and river floods that affect
people that live near to the rivers.

5. SOLUTIONS TO SAVE GLACIERS
sow
plants
This could help the environment
to be clean, helping our
atmosphere and conserving
natural resource.
temperatures
The glaciers wouldn’t melt if
we took care for not rising the
global warming.
fossil
fuels
If we stop the oil production,
we could keep the planet's
temperature below 2ºC.
