Hello, we are Raquel and Valentina.

2
00:00:08,730 --> 00:00:11,730
We are going to talk about the end of the glaciers, our project.

3
00:00:11,730 --> 00:00:14,730
Glaciers are large masses of ice in motion.

4
00:00:14,730 --> 00:00:20,730
They originate when snow accumulated in cold places compacts and recrystallizes.

5
00:00:20,730 --> 00:00:24,730
They are so important that they cover approximately 10% of the Earth.

6
00:00:24,730 --> 00:00:30,730
Each year, less glaciers get formed due to the increase in Earth temperature and climate change.

7
00:00:30,730 --> 00:00:37,729
The consequences can be devastating such as the increase in sea level which leads to the drowning of many islands.

8
00:00:37,729 --> 00:00:48,729
We can prove this by observing the melting process of the glaciers in Iceland between the dates of 2018 and 2022 using the website of your browser.

9
00:00:48,729 --> 00:00:58,729
So as we can see the amount of the glaciers in the square meters has decreased and each year in winter less of them are being formed.

10
00:00:58,729 --> 00:01:03,729
We can expect that soon no more are going to be formed, giving them an end.

11
00:01:03,729 --> 00:01:09,730
In this graph we can observe the greatest consequence of glaciers melting, the rise of the sea level.

12
00:01:09,730 --> 00:01:16,730
From 1880 to 2020, the rise of the global average sea level has increased enormously.

13
00:01:16,730 --> 00:01:20,730
An example of an island that has been affected are the seashells.

14
00:01:20,730 --> 00:01:28,730
It has been reported that one metre rice could cover many of its islands, giving them a 70% loss of its landmass.

15
00:01:28,730 --> 00:01:32,730
Our actions are the only way of stopping this global problem.

16
00:01:32,730 --> 00:01:36,730
The solution is to reduce climate change by doing some of these things.

17
00:01:36,730 --> 00:01:47,730
Reduce as much waste as possible, drive a low-carbon vehicle or public transport, and don't ditch much meat which contributes to the release of greenhouse gases.

18
00:01:47,730 --> 00:01:54,689
gases. Every sparse and ecological action is a step forward to saving the earth, so take action!
