The term thaw is applied to define a phenomenon of nature that in recent times has been gaining special relevance, it is the change of state of ice in water, due to the increase in temperatures on the planet, as well as the increase in the sea levels surrounding the ice caps and the penetration with greater intensity of the rays that come from the sun, these aforementioned causes respond to what is known as climate change and can have serious consequences on the flora and the fauna of the entire planet as well as in human beings, since by increasing sea levels, populations that are located on the coasts could be seriously affected.
It can also be said that this is a normal procedure when a change of season occurs, since for example, when winter ends in some areas of the world and spring begins, it is normal for temperatures to rise, which generates that snow and ice that accumulated throughout this season begins to melt, which is consequently reflected in the rising levels of lakes and rivers.
On the other hand, and already focused on what thaw is an environmental problem, it can be said that the main responsible is man, since thanks to their different economic activities they have made the issue of greenhouse gases much more acute., which have been responsible for damaging the ozone layer of the earth and therefore global warming occurs. Undoubtedly, the use of different substances of fossil origin is one of the main causes of this, as well as indiscriminate felling and other elements that cause warming to accelerate and therefore also thaw.
At present, a large number of countries have taken on the task of seeking solutions to this problem, trying to implement changes in the way man's economic activity develops, in order to try to reduce the effects of the thaw before that they cannot be repaired.
