What is Glacier?
Glaciers are formed by snow that gets compressed
and forms a thick ice mass over a long period of time.

This ice begins melting when the temperature rises,
and is again replaced by a fresh layer of snow.

Example of Glaciers Movement
Temperature Changes in the
Last Century
Averaged over all land and ocean surfaces,
temperatures warmed roughly 1.53F (0.85C) from
1880 to 2012.
Temperature vs Glacier
The problem with any glacier begins when the ice
melts at a faster rate than the snow that replaces it.
As the average global temperature keeps on
increasing, ice from glaciers keep melting faster.

Warning
According to NASA, the polar ice cap is now
melting at the alarming rate of nine percent per
decade. Arctic ice thickness has decreased 40
percent since the 1960s.
Arctic sea ice extent set an all-time record low in
September 2007, with almost half a million
square miles less ice than the previous record set
in September 2005, according to the National
Snow and Ice Data Center. Over the past 3
decades, more than a million square miles of
perennial sea ice -- an area the size of Norway,
Denmark and Sweden combined -- has
disappeared.
Multiple climate models indicate that sea
ice will increasingly retreat as the earth
warms. Scientists at the U.S. Center for
Atmospheric Research predict that if the
current rate of global warming continues,
the Arctic could be ice-free in the summer
by 2040.
At the current rate of retreat, all of the
glaciers in Glacier National Park will be gone
by 2070.
ACTIVITY
OF
THE DAY
LIST 3 THINGS THAT WILL
HELP US SAVE THE
WORLD.
SMS NUMBER= 654123789
Name: Jade

1. I will let my students walk to
school
2. I will turn off all air conditioner
and light while teaching
3. I will not allow students to
shower to school so we can
save water.
Then I will reward all of the
student who follow these by
giving them an A in my subject.
