Factors of Rapid Melting Glaciers in the Himalayas

View through CrossRef
The Himalayas is sharing a lot of its diversity and the properties with all the nations within and other outreach countries through its sources. However, the wellbeing of the region of the Himalayas is currently being threatened with the retreatment of the glaciers on the mountain area and its becoming worsen each year. The dependency of the countries around to the source originated from the Himalayas glaciers specifically getting higher and endangered the down valley population. The natural reaction identifies due to climate change had brought the national security situation through unstable condition to living thus effecting the vegetation along the path. The objective of this paper is to study the factors that contribute to the melting of the Himalayas glaciers. The method has been used is qualitative, whereby deriving information mainly through secondary sources. All data related are segregated based on the trend and relations with the factors, implications and mitigation actions. The concept that used in this study is national security. The findings of this study are (1) the human factor contributes as much as natural in weakening the structure of the glacier, (2) overflow flood and drought are expected to cause as immediate and long term effect.
