Glacier

Forty-two glacial lakes in Nepal face extreme bursting risk. Climate change and melting glaciers threaten villages, infrastructure and lives. The authorities monitor lakes and promote early warnings.

Scientists discovered that climate change is responsible for the Earth's slow spinning, affecting time on Earth

Climate change happening due to increased global warming according to two recent studies, this change is making the glacier ice is melt rapidly. The water concentration is increasing near the equator, making a mass collection in the middle that is increasing the planet's inertia, and making the Earth's day longer. The speed of the planet depends on the mass and shape of that planet.

Uttarakhand flood | What are glaciers, how do they form, and more

Uttarakhand’s Chamoli district witnessed an avalanche and massive flooding on February 7 after a portion of the Nanda Devi glacier broke off causing overflow of the Alaknanda river system — consisting of the Alaknanda river, the Dhauli Ganga and the Rishi Ganga — all tributaries of the Ganga.
