    made by scientists over the last thirty-five years all agree upon the notion of shrinking, and or retreating of the ice sheets. The melting of ice sheets has powerful implications for the millions of people who depend on glacial melt for drinking water and the millions of people who will be displaced by the sea level rise occurring as a direct result of the melting. The observations of ice melting also show that the rate at which the ice is melting is accelerating. Mountain glaciers around the world

    took place over 200 years ago. Thinking about the effects that those discharges might have in future, one has to take into consideration that at least the pH – level of water has changed from 3,3 pH (around 1800) to 6,1 pH (today) (Wilkinson 2011); an improvement can be recognized. Nonetheless, it is obvious that drainage water still has a great impact to organisms. It is necessary to think of methods to stop this pollution as it could lead to an extinction of organisms. 7.

    to chemical and mechanical weathering. Rainfall, biologic activity, abundance of openings, composition of the rock, amount of vegetation, temperature, and tectonic settings are important factors in the weathering process. External forces like wind, water, and ice are constantly causing changes in the surface of rocks. These activities are cutting some material away while depositing other materials here and there. This process landscapes the Earth as we see it. Weathering falls into two categories,
