Question

How can deforestation affect the glaciers of mountains?

Answer 1

Trees are the main source of oxygen. They also make the atmosphere cool and maintain ecological balance. By cutting down the trees results in increase in temperatures of the earth which is called Global warming. This results in the melting of glaciers. 

Answer 2

The world's ice is melting, quite simply, as a result of climate change. Rising temperatures in the earth's atmosphere are being caused predominantly by the burning of fossil fuels - coal, oil and natural gas - in the operation of cars, planes, heating and lighting our homes, and so on. This releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere which acts as an insulating layer - very much like a greenhouse - trapping solar insolation and raising temperatures at the earth's surface. Plants and trees absorb carbon dioxide for the process of photosynthesis, so are natural carbon ‘sinks'. As a result, deforestation contributes to the problem. During the 20th Century, surface temperatures rose on average 1C. As a result of this increase, snow and ice cover has decreased, releasing freshwater into the oceans. In the same timeframe global sea levels have risen between 10cm and 20cm. Without significant policy changes, global mean temperature is predicted to increase between 1.4 and 5.8C over the next century, with an equivalent sea level rise of between nine centimetres and 88cm globally...............
