Explain the problems faced by people living in the Northern mountains during winter season.
Answers
Answer:
They include temperature and precipitation extremes, which in turn can trigger avalanches, flooding, drought and wildfire. Mountain regions also face risk from melting glaciers and “glacial lake outburst flooding,” according to experts, as well as accelerated erosion and landslides, which are among the deadliest natural disasters worldwide.
“These risks expose already vulnerable and often marginalized mountain communities and destabilize some of their wealth-generating sectors, including agriculture, tourism and biodiversity,” experts conclude in a seven-volume synthesis report known as the “Mountain Adaptation Outlook Series.”
The risks take on even greater importance when one considers that mountain ranges provide essential water to over half the global population—“making them not only crucial for people living in the mountains, but also for those living downstream,” the report says.
Such water challenges are well-documented in the U.S. Intermountain West and in states like California, where water allocation is a perennial source of public policy fights between urban and rural water users. In some U.S. Western ranges, mountain pine beetle infestations have killed tens of millions of otherwise healthy trees, a condition made worse as rising temperatures allow bark beetle explosions to occur at higher elevations.
