The Earth has experienced many episodes of dramatic climate change at different times in Earth's history. There have been periods during which the entire planet has been covered in ice and at other times it has been scorchingly hot and dry. In this regard, the Earth has experienced at least three major periods of freezing climate and long-term ice ages interspersed with periods of warm climate. The last glacial period of which the current glaciers are the result occurred during the last years of the Pleistocene, from approximately 110,000 to 10,000 years of age (Clayton, 1997). In fact, glaciers present sensitive indicators of climate change and global warming and by estimating and monitoring the dynamic evolution of these ice masses, it is possible to reveal different aspects of the impact of climate change on environmental phenomena. Since the end of the last century, almost global recession of glaciers have been noted (Barry, 2006). For example in the Himalayas, several studies indicate that glaciers are retreating in recent years and these alpine glaciers are also melting very rapidly at this time (Kodata et al, 2000; Fujita et al, 2001; Ren et al, 2006). Numerous studies show that these glaciers have undergone a dramatic decline over the last 25 years. These analyzes reveal a 22% loss of glacial surface across the Alps between 1985 and 1999, approximately seven times faster than in the periods 1985-1973 (Petri and Gareth, 2010). However, these results do not imply synchronous behavior of all the world's glaciers, because there may be local differences between glaciers and even in the advances of some glaciers. So, if the glaciers disappeared, people far from these mountains, in the plains and in the big cities of Asia and South America would suffer from... middle of paper... altitude of about 4250 m. Although Iran is located in an arid and semi-arid climate, but this frozen area is supported by moisture-laden southerly winds coming from the Caspian Sea. These winds collide with the northern slopes of the Tackt and Solaiman mountain ranges and produce an estimated average snowfall of approximately 452 cm/year. This orographic precipitation occurs during the 65 days of the year. Furthermore, a significant amount of precipitation falls in the October-December period (Vaziri, 2003). The Alamkouh surface is characterized by a system of ridges and troughs and is oriented parallel to the general flow direction. Most of Alamkouh's surface is covered in debris. Typical sources of such debris accumulation include debris-laden snow avalanches, episodic rock avalanches, and long-duration rockfall activity, heavy rainfall, or atmospheric processes..
