Environmental Issue : 1 - The Big Global Melt

Hi everyone! I am back with another article. So, welcome to the environmental issue series! This series will have a variety of topics focusing on environment and saving our earth for our future.

The Big Global Melt

Yes, this is the major problem right now. The Earth is heating up and the glaciers and which are in the Arctic, Antarctic, and even in the Himalayas are melting down.

What is the problem?

If all the glaciers and icebergs are melting down the water will fill up the continents and our Earth will be covered with water and nothing will able to survive. We have to stop it.

This Feb, Antarctica witnessed its hottest temperature on record, resulting in widespread melting of nearby glaciers. During this period, the images show drastic changes in just nine days.

Then came the news that Antarctica's colossal Thwaites Glacier is melting fast. If the glacier were to collapse, It could lead to an increase in sea levels by around 64 cm.

In mere two days, the Milne ice shelf lost over 40% of its ice over in July. This results the endangerment for the animals which were living there.

Scientists are saying that this will not stop until we reduce our carbon footprints and our greenhouse gases.

We are the future - And we have to change it.

Will be back with many other posts that are related to environment. Share and save our precious planet.

Origin Of Water

O n Earth, water is the most precious. We are using it in our everyday lives. But did any of you thought where water has been originated from? or When did the water come to our planet? or Did water came from space? If you've thought like that, you've come to the right blog!. Today we are going to see How did Water originate on Earth? At first, scientists thought that the Water was present from the Early/ Baby Earth. But if the water was present during the volcanic eruptions, It must have been evaporated. In the modern period, Scientists are suggesting two ways that we might have got water: By comets and asteroids (Rocky material) From the vast cloud of cloud and dust - Solar Nebula, formed along our sun. Earth's water is similar to the ones that are present in the asteroids. That's the one reason scientists are believing that an asteroid bombardment in the Early days of the solar system could have resulted in the origin of water on our planet. The ratio of deuter...

Environmental Issue: 3 - Impact of Climate Change on Birds 🐦

Hello everyone, I am back with another post. In this environmental issue, we are going to see what are the impact on birds due to climate change. Birds in the sky. Credit: Pinterest The timing of birds migration, nesting, hatching and feeding are adapted to specific conditions, such as the availability of suitable habitat and adequate food sources. These factors make birds vulnerable to climate change and global warming. In this article, we can focus the threats faced by the birds in our ecosystem. Migration pattern. Lack of food. Habitat Loss. Sea - level rise. Lack of sea ice. Migration Pattern: Birds migrate from colder area to a warmer area or from warmer areas to colder area for breeding and reproducing. Due, to the climate change the migration pattern of birds has been changed a lot. Scientists have documented that fewer birds show up in breeding and wintering grounds and they attribute it to the increasing temperature, changing vegetation and extreme weather condition...
