As ice sheets spread they cover everything around them with a thick blanket of ice

[@HawloKnight]

This isn't the Glaishur I was looking for

[@LovezYouful]

I'm confused. At 3:00 she says that ice sheets melting results in freshwater being added to the oceans everyday, but then right after says that ice sheets melting results in less fresh water for animals on land. How does ice sheet melting impact the amount of water land animals or plants have access to?

[@brienYT]

I could be wrong but the fresh water is added to ocean which ocean has salt so the freshwater mixes with the ocean that has salt. So animals don’t have a lot of drinking water because salt water can dehydrate you. Also since all the ice is melting, it is releasing unknown diseases which were frozen for who knows how long and now it’s slowly melting until the diseases are free

[@geraldfrost4710]

good catch. it didn't make huge sense. perhaps because an alpine glacier can act like a lake stuck on the side of a mountain, melting slowly through the summer. when it's gone, the river doesn't flow in summer. there's still melt water from snow in the spring, but that's not when the downstream is thirsty. this wasn't explained at all.

[@jenniferwilliams2262]

I had the same question!

[@inamsargana604]

U had 7 blocks of ice ،one to melt and use daily ،but then global warming started melting one and half daily ،so you have little to drink at the end of week

[@Nick-rm8zg]

@@inamsargana604 now you don’t have to melt ice. Still the same amount of water. Sure you can say evaporation, but then again once it rained it would refill the bucket

[@baralul]

3:01 why the loss of glacial ice reduces the amount of water in land?

[@nkd3047]

the glacial ice resource shrinks each year, there's less and less water to melt into water in land over time.

[@TheRojo387]

Oceania only lacks glaciers since it is so flat it's all near sea level or below. Africa has no alpine glaciers neither. EDIT: Have you never heard of the Australian Alps?

[@AquaticMammalOnBicycle]

But in some of the images in the video, it’s clearly just showing a mountain not a glacier?
