Question

6. How has the greenhouse effect affected the Gangotri glacier in the Himalayas?​

Answer 1

Answer:

There is likely to be increased severity and frequency of monsoonal storms and flooding in the Himalayas, which are expected outcomes of climate change, may significantly alter the area's erosion, river discharge, and sediment dynamics.

Answer 2

Answer:

Heat-trapping gases, sometimes called “greenhouse gases,” are the cause of most of the climate warming and glacier retreat in the past 50 years. ... If all the lost or gained glacial ice were converted to water and spread evenly over glacier surface area, the depth of that water layer is the water equivalence.
