Glaciers are an important part of the global ecosystem but are melting due to human-caused climate change. The main causes of melting glaciers are greenhouse gas emissions from human industry since the industrial revolution, which have warmed global temperatures. Consequences of melting glaciers include rising sea levels, more frequent extreme weather events, and potential collapse of ocean-based industries due to changes in ocean currents.

2. WHAT ARE THE MELTING GLACIERS?
Glaciers are a crucial
element of the global
ecosystem. But like many
aspects of the natural world,
they are the most affected
by the consequences of
human industry and activity.

3. CAUSES OF MELTING GLACIERS
Human activities are at the root of
this phenomenon. Specifically, since
the industrial revolution, carbon
dioxide and other greenhouse gas
emissions have raised temperatures,
and as a result, glaciers are rapidly
melting, calving off into the sea and
retreating on land.

4. CONSEQUENCES OF MELTING
GLACIERS
Rise in sea level:
The biggest and most notable impact
of these glaciers melting is in the rise
of sea level
Increased frequency of weather
events:
As a result of sea-level rise, storms,
it becomes more frequent, and
warm air and ocean temperatures
combining to increase the
frequency of coastal storms
Collapse of ocean-based industries:
It is beause of the destruction of these
currents, the ocean is being changed,
with consequences like the collapse of
fishing industries.
