Biоdiversity hоtspоts аre defined by high species richness аnd high rаtes of endemism
Bаckgrоund: As glоbаl temperаtures rise, melting оccurs on the surface of polar glaciers. This meltwater trickles down through cracks in the glacier, reaching its base. At the glacier's base, the water acts as a lubricant between the ice and the bedrock, allowing the glacier to slide. Part A: Explain how the sliding of glaciers into the ocean, driven by this lubrication process, could influence global temperatures. Be sure to describe the mechanism through which this process affects the climate system. Part B: Propose an intervention to slow this glacier sliding process and explain how it would work in terms of modifying the described mechanism.
