Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Glaciers lose mass through melting and calving. Melting occurs due to warmer temperatures and can result in water running off or seeping into the glacier. Calving refers to chunks of ice breaking off into the water, often due to the weight of the glacier pushing it into the water. Crevasse formation and melting can also contribute to mass loss, but melting and calving are the primary mechanisms.
