Glacial melting refers to the process where glaciers, large masses of ice formed from compacted snow, lose their ice due to rising temperatures. This phenomenon is primarily driven by climate change, which causes increased air and water temperatures, leading to the accelerated melting of ice in regions like the Arctic and Antarctica. As glaciers melt, they contribute to rising sea levels, which can impact coastal communities and ecosystems. Additionally, the loss of glaciers affects freshwater supplies for millions of people who rely on glacial meltwater for drinking and irrigation. The ongoing glacial melting is a significant indicator of global warming and environmental change.
