Subscribe to my channel - Glaciers form the largest reserves of fresh water on the planet, storing 75% of the Earth’s fresh water! Today they cover about 10% of the Earth. During the last Ice Age, glaciers covered about 32% of the total area of the planet. There are two types of glaciers. The first are alpine glaciers. They form on the slopes of mountains and slowly move down valleys. The second are ccontinental glaciers - continental ice sheets that cover large areas. The largest of the existing glaciers is the Lambert Glacier, located in Antarctica. It is about 100 kilometers wide, 400 kilometers long and 2.5 kilometers deep!

Where would all water go? What would happen to the oceans? Would salt water mix with fresh water? In this video you will learn what would happen if
