Jan-Climatology
Flash droughts
very quickly
with soil moisture
depleting rapidly
several factors including
atmospheric anomalies
anthropogenic GHG emissions
deleterious implications
for crop production
irrigation demands
and groundwater
Increased air temperature
and precipitation deficit
together leads to flash drought
flash droughts
in monsoon season
caused by monsoon breaks
and delayed onset of summer
Glacial Lake Outburst Floods
GLOFs
occurs from unstable
natural dam formed
from glacial retreat
Glaciers
large bodies of ice
moving slowly
when glaciers retreats
leaves behind
large impression in ground
filling with water
and lake is formed
known as moraine
moraine dammed lakes
weaken as water level rises
and glacier retreats
might crumble
under pressure
from swelling lake
leading to massive floods
glacial outbursts
related to global warming
due to
temperature rise, erosion
avalanche of snow or rock
earthquake or volcanic eruptions
under ice
GR and PT
Glacier retreat and permafrost thaw
projected to decrease
stability of mountain slopes
and increase no of area of glacial lakes
As per the assessment report
of UN intergovernmental panel of CC
