Content: Finally, in a similar type of process, large formations of ice in glaciers and ice caps melt and won't then return to its original shape. Usually these gigantic frozen structures partially crumbled during the summer, but recovered its solid state when winter temperatures returned. Now, because of global warming, the snowfall is softer, winters delay and springs anticipate, so ice does not reattach in the same manner and amount. Sea level rise: main consequences
The effects of sea level rise are already being felt, and the forecasts are not very hopeful. First, water is increasingly invading coastal areas, causing soil erosion and threatening farmland, housing or recreation areas. The flooding of wetlands and pollution of aquifers also occur, affecting the flora and fauna of each place, causing the loss of habitat for fish, birds, plants and many other species. On the other hand, a higher sea level causes heavy rains and strong winds, unleashes severe storms and other big atmospheric phenomena that can be a real threat to places that might be on its way. On the social aspect, the constant threat of sea level rise menaces hundreds of millions of people living in coastal communities. If water continues to rise, they will be forced to abandon their homes and move to another area, with the corresponding demographic problem.
