Answer:

In the melting of icebergs, icebergs could potentially contain long-dormant bacteria and viruses. Those viruses trapped in ice and permafrost for centuries, can be reactivated. That means melting those ice could potentially open a Pandora's box of diseases. Including some that have caused global epidemics in the distant past.

Example: babesiosis

As of regular ice. The freezing of bacteria in water isn't just an old practice and ice from unclean sources could also contain disease, when melted and ingested or touched this ice as well could transmit disease not so long-dormant, however still unpleasant.

Example: AIDS

What are important roles of mosses

Savatey [412]

Answer: Mosses retain soil humidity and prevents its degradation, besides are habitat for little invertebrates.

Explanation: Mosses are non-vascular plants (they don't have conductive vessels as xylem and phloem) that live places as tree trunks, rocks, walls and soils. This habitats must be humids because mosses need water for nutrient transport, because they don't have cuticle (prevents water lost) and for fertilization. Mosses are important for the ecosistems where they live because retain water in the soils thus prevent erosion and harbor invertebrates as Tardigrades (water bears).
