Glacier blast in Uttarakhand, India: cause and solution

What is a glacier? A glacier is made from snow falling month to month and year to year in one place. The thickness of Glacier is an increase when it’s thickness increases, the weight of Glacier is increasing. In other words, a glacier is a large amount of ice. The glacier burst in Uttarakhand is a natural disaster.

What is a glacier burst? Due to heavy snowfall and the temperature of this area getting down very fast that’s the reason this area’s mountains, rivers, and lakes are getting frozen.

For many months and years, snow falling is in one place; the thickness of the mountain freezes, and ice increases. Glaciers stop the flow of a river. 90 percent of glaciers are a form of the ice sheet. When a glacier gets very weighted then ice comes to the surface very fast; this whole process is called a glacier burst.

Another way our Earth is constructed differently- different plate when any plate slides, then heavy loaded mountain, ice, or glacier bursts; this time, ice comes very fast towards the surface. This is called a glacier blast.

What’s the reason for the Uttarakhand, India glacier blast? Uttarakhand glacier blasting attract all over the world. Due to global warming, this accident is a small example of glacier melting because global temperatures increase.

For example, every 50 years, global temperature increases from 1 degree to 2 degrees, and ice is melting. Glacier blast another reason is the avalanche pollution.

Uttarakhand glacier blast: seven February 2021, the Nada Devi glacier blast in his peak. Some part of this glacier is coming very speedily towards the surface; for this reason, Chamoli district in Uttarakhand (India) suddenly flooded.

Maximum damage Rishiganga valley and Tapowan areas. Rishi Ganga water project destroyed, 26 people died and 197 people missing. Many villages in this area completely destroyed

Effects of global warming:- Global warming means our Earth’s temperature continues to increase; the main responsible gas carbon dioxide and methane gas. Greenhouse effects main responsible gas is carbon dioxide and chlorofluorocarbons

• Polar ice is melting
• Increase in sea level
• Some countries and some city’s getting problem with water-related
• Flood-related problems
• Cultivation-related problems
• Some diseases are born
• Air pollution rises
• Ozone depletion

Prevention of global warming

• Very little use of air-conditioning, refrigerators
• Less use of motor vehicles
• Less use of petroleum products
• Increase planting of trees
• All countries in the world have to decide how to reduce carbon emissions; this is the main factor of the greenhouse effects
• Every person on the earth is own responsibility to save our environment.
