How would melting all of the world's glacial ice affect the flow of streams and rivers? What will be an ideal response?
Many rivers and streams are able to flow year round because of water stored in glacial ice. The ice is
basically a natural reservoir that slowly releases its stored volume during the summer. Without this ice,
it is likely that many rivers would cease to flow during the dry portion of the year
