Question: Write any two steps followed while creating the glaciers.
The correct answer is –
According to the given passage, there are a few basic steps followed while creating artificial glaciers:
- Diverting river or stream water at high altitude to a shaded area of the hill facing north, where the winter sun is blocked by a ridge or mountain range.
- Making the diverted water flow on sloping hills facing distribution channels at the start of winter, i.e., in November.
These steps are followed to ensure the formation of a cascade of ice along the slope over a period of 3-4 months, resulting in a large accumulation of ice, which is referred to as an ‘artificial glacier.’
