The rapid shrinking of glaciers globally demonstrates which primary crisis in the water cycle?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Global warming and climate imbalance

Answer: B, global warming and climate imbalance. Glaciers store freshwater as long-term ice. When average temperatures rise, melting can increase and snowfall may no longer replace the lost ice, causing glaciers to retreat. This changes the timing and amount of meltwater available to rivers, may contribute to sea-level rise when land ice melts, and disrupts regional water supplies. A is incorrect because rapid glacier shrinkage indicates warming, not an approaching ice age. C is incorrect because ozone-layer thickness is not the direct explanation for glacier retreat. D is incorrect because glacier loss does not mean that groundwater tables suddenly rise; local groundwater responses vary. The safest memory cue is: warming atmosphere, shrinking land ice, changing freshwater storage.
