Question

What are the factors affecting Mountain Glaciers and Ice Sheets ?

Answer 1

Answer:

Basically, glaciers originate on land, and ice floes form in open water and are a form of sea ice. ... Glaciers that extend in continuous sheets and cover a large landmass, such as Antarctica or Greenland, are called ice sheets. If they are similar but smaller, they are termed ice caps.

Answer 2

Answer:

Human activities are at the root of this phenomenon. Specifically, since the industrial revolution, carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions have raised temperatures, even higher in the poles, and as a result, glaciers are rapidly melting, calving off into the sea and retreating on land.
