As observed by the United Nations Environment Program (GRID-Arendal) ice and snow are major components of the climate system.

In these areas global warming induces the progressive melting of ice and snow.

India is gifted with heterogeneous landforms and variety of climatic conditions such as the lofty mountains, the raverine deltas, high altitude forests, peninsular plateaus, variety of geological formations endowed with temperature varying from arctic cold to equatorial hot, and rainfall from extreme aridity with a few cms (<10 cm) to pre humid with world's maxim
