Question

What is a glacier burst?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Glacier bursts are a cascading risk. Cascades of glacier bursts, cloudbursts, heavy rainfall and subsequent landslides are becoming more frequent and complex. The breaking of the Nanda Devi glacier triggered a landslide, avalanche, deluge, and flash floods in the intricately linked tributaries of the Ganga river.

Answer 2

Answer:

Earthquakes, erosion, volcanic eruptions, build of water pressure or an avalanche of heavy snow can cause the glaciers to burst. The glacier outburst can also happen after the displacement of massive water pocket in a glacial lake when an adjacent glacier retreats into it
