Question

could glaciers form across india today?explain.

Answer 1

Glacier Melt



What we know:-

Glaciers in the northwestern Himalayas and in the Karakoram range - where westerly winter winds are the major source of moisture - have remained stable or even advanced.

On the other hand, most Himalayan glaciers - where a substantial part of the moisture is supplied by the summer monsoon - have been retreating over the past century.

What could happen:-

At 2.5°C warming, melting glaciers and the loss of snow cover over the Himalayas are expected to threaten the stability and reliability of northern India’s primarily glacier-fed rivers, particularly the Indus and the Brahmaputra. The Ganges will be less dependent on melt water due to high annual rainfall downstream during the monsoon season.

The Indus and Brahmaputra are expected to see increased flows in spring when the snows melt, with flows reducing subsequently in late spring and summer.

Alterations in the flows of the Indus, Ganges, and Brahmaputra rivers could significantly impact irrigation, affecting the amount of food that can be produced in their basins as well as the livelihoods of millions of people (209 million in the Indus basin, 478 million in the Ganges basin, and 62 million in the Brahmaputra basin in the year 2005).

What can be done:-

Major investments in water storage capacity would be needed to benefit from increased river flows in spring and compensate for lower flows later on.

Answer 2

Glaciers are mass of solid ice which are moving downwards according to the slope due to it's own weight.

Glaciers can be found in extremely cold mountain regions.

In India only the northern Himalayan mountain range is the proper place of glacier generating.

But due to increasing heat for the global warming and the pollution levels, glaciers are melting very fast than the normal speed.

So nowadays it is very hard circumstances for glacier generating in the India.
