Body

Diagram
- Changes in the Himalayan Glaciers - 1 Melting of Himalayas at a higher rate. - 2 Increased temperature in the Himalayan states in India - 3 Reduced snowfall & rainfall. - Reflecting + contributing visible signs of climate change in Indian subcontinent:-

(1) led to increased water levels in the rivers of India for short run. (2) High water capacity in the Ganga, Yamuna & other Himalayan stream in short run.

(2) impacts like GLOF (Glacier lake outburst phenomenon), due to melting of glaciers.

(3) High temperatures observed in the Himalayan states.

(4) other impacts like, effect on Monsoon, reduced capacity as a barrier for incoming cold winds.

(5) changes observed in terms of extreme weather events, like cloud bursts, Heat dome etc

(6) Earthquake in Himalayan Glaciers increased in recent times.

Close

Thus, the changes in Himalayan glacier is increasing at rapid speed, having higher forebearings.
