#Afuni Glaciers are good natural regulators of the runoff since they transform it
into a direction useful for people. Additional water from glaciers can be obtained
by means of blackening of their surfaces that increases absorption of the solar
energy and thus causes enhanced melting. Why are glaciers important to the environment?
Glaciers act as reservoirs of water that persist through summer. Continual melt from
glaciers contributes water to the ecosystem throughout dry months, creating perennial
stream habitat and a water source for plants and animals. The cold runoff from glaciers
also affects downstream water temperatures. What are the benefits of glaciers?
It turns out that when glaciers form, they accumulate particles and dust that contain
essential nutrients like iron, on which all living things depend for survival. As
glaciers melt, they add nutrients to the ocean and fertilize the local ecosystem
What would happen if glaciers disappear?. There is still some uncertainty about the full
volume of glaciers and ice caps on Earth, but if all of them were to melt, global sea
level would rise approximately 70 meters (approximately 230 feet), flooding every
coastal city on the planet. What are the effects of glaciers on the world?
Melting glaciers add to rising sea levels, which in turn increases coastal erosion and
elevates storm surge as warming air and ocean temperatures create more frequent and
intense coastal storms like hurricanes and typhoons. How do glaciers affect Earth's climate?
For example, glaciers' white surfaces reflect the sun's rays, helping to keep our current
climate mild. When glaciers melt, darker exposed surfaces absorb and release heat, raising
temperatures. Our way of life is based on climate as we know it. What ecosystem services do
glaciers provide?. The benefits detailed in the paper include freshwater for drinking, glacial
runoff that supports hydropower, carbon sequestration, water temperature regulation and water
purification. As climate change works on glacial ecosystems, humans may see a temporary uptick
in the useful aspects of glaciers, albeit briefly. right now your responsibility do save of
glaciers or not that is your problem if you will save glaciers then definitely glaciers will
save of you meant mankind forevermore indeed
