Short Article 

Glaciers are big ice mountains that can melt because of warm weather. When glaciers melt, the ice turns to water. Under some glaciers, there are sleeping volcanoes. If the ice melts, the pressure on the volcano goes down. This can make the volcano erupt, which is very dangerous. A small village near the glacier was hit by a landslide after the ice broke. People in the village got a warning and left to be safe. Scientists watch glaciers and volcanoes carefully to help warn people about danger. We must protect nature and be ready for changes.
 

冰川是大塊的冰山，因為天氣變暖會融化。當冰川融化時，冰變成水。在一些冰川下面，有沉睡的火山。如果冰融化，火山上的壓力會降低，可能會讓火山噴發，這非常危險。一個靠近冰川的小村莊因為冰塊崩裂，發生了山崩。村裡的人收到警告後離開了。科學家仔細觀察冰川和火山，幫助警告大家危險。我們必須保護大自然，準備面對改變。
