La Tierra está compuesta en casi un 70 % por agua. La mayor parte de esta agua está congelada en forma de glaciares. A medida que nuestro planeta se calienta, los glaciares se están derritiendo con mayor rapidez que la usual. El nivel del mar sube y el agua ocupa las zonas costeras. Las casas quedan destruidas. Se pierden los hábitats.

Los científicos han estado siguiendo los cambios en el hielo de los glaciares y el nivel del mar. Descubre lo que hemos aprendido y qué cambios tienen que hacer los seres humanos para que no nos tape el agua.

Earth is nearly 70 percent water. Most of this water is frozen in the form of glaciers. As our planet warms, glaciers are melting faster than usual. Sea levels rise, and water washes over coastal areas. Homes are destroyed. Habitats are lost.

Scientists have been following the changes in glacier ice and ocean levels. Discover what they’ve learned and what changes humans need to make to keep our heads above water.

Author: Christina Hill

Before embracing a career as an author, Christina Hill received a graduate degree in literature. She knew that she had a passion for both education and the written word and discovered that educational publishing is the perfect blend of both. When she is not writing on a variety of subjects from climate change to Shakespeare, Hill can be found hiking, mastering yoga handstands, or walking her playful puppy across the coastline of sunny Southern California.
