The shrinking of the glacier at Glacier Bay, Alaska, has been well documented since the late 1700s. The western side of the glacier has shrunk approximately 100 km in the last 200 years. If the glacier continues to shrink at the same rate, how will the uncovered land surface MOST likely appear after 10 years? There will be no change in the appearance of the land. The land will be covered with tall forests. The land will be covered with thick soil and deep-rooted grasses. There will be mosses, lichens, and small plants growing on the land.
