Answer:

Climate change is causing most glaciers worldwide to shrink, but due to a meteorological anomaly, this is one of a few in Karakoram mountain.

Step-by-step explanation:

There's another way melting ice can cause extreme floods: In the mountains of Pakistan, water from glaciers forms high-elevation lakes, which are often dammed by glacial ice. When there's too much runoff, those lakes quickly expand and the ice dams can break, producing what's called a “glacial lake outburst.” The Himalayan glaciers are melting, and Pakistan is drowning. How is this contributing to the flooding that we're seeing there? KAMP: So Pakistan - you mentioned that already earlier - has over 7,200 glaciers.
