Why does the snow and ice in the Rocky Mountains melt?

For the United States, the hot weather since the beginning of summer has made people feel painful, and some people even died because of the high temperature. But in fact, what is more serious in the United States is not the paralysis of the urban system, but the melting of snow and ice in the Rocky Mountains. Maybe many people don't know about the Rocky Mountains. In fact, the Rocky Mountains are the beginning of water sources in the Atlantic Ocean, the Pacific Ocean and the Arctic Ocean, starting in Alaska and ending in New Mexico.

For North America, the Rocky Mountains are of great significance, because most rivers in North America originate in the Rocky Mountains. It can be seen that the Rocky Mountains not only carry important missions, but also hide many disasters. After all, the Rocky Mountains affect most of the water sources in North America. If there is a problem, the whole of North America will be affected, such as water use.

According to the photos sent back by the satellite, there is no snow at the highest point of the Rocky Mountains. The reason is undoubtedly influenced by the high temperature weather in the United States. The snow in the Rocky Mountains has been melting since May this year. With the rising temperature in the United States and the unpredictable high temperature sweeping across North America, the snow in the Rocky Mountains could not be preserved and eventually melted completely.

The high temperature weather in North America leads to less precipitation in this area, and the Rocky Mountains are the birthplace of many rivers in North America. However, with the melting of snow, there is not enough water in North America to supplement it, and now there are drought problems in the United States and other regions. The western United States belongs to the plateau, and its own water resources are relatively limited. Coupled with the special situation this year, the drought is even worse. Even in California and other areas, domestic water has become extremely luxurious.

In the case of drought, the United States has also taken relevant measures, but the butterfly effect caused by high temperature weather is increasing. For example, the continuous mountain fires have made water resources more scarce and the drought more serious. For the disaster in the United States, NASA also issued a statement. They believe that the disaster in the United States will not improve until September, so now the United States has just entered a disaster period, which is also the most difficult day for the American people.

With the development of human industrialization, the problem of global warming is becoming more and more serious. In addition to the snow in the Rocky Mountains, areas covered with snow and ice all the year round, such as the North and South poles, have also experienced large-scale melting. Therefore, the impact of human activities on the natural environment is very great. At first, in the agricultural era, human beings' changes to the earth were limited, and naturally they could change environmental conditions through self-purification, but in the industrial era, they naturally became overwhelmed.

Global warming is only the beginning of environmental deterioration, but human beings still need continuous development, and the natural environment cannot be improved in a short time. For example, the high temperature in the United States and other regions this year has hurt many people or things, so for human beings, global warming is more like a warning, warning us to reduce harm and protect the environment, otherwise the future disaster will only be more serious.
