1:55 the hilarious part is that this actually would also happen for your potted plant (if you use certain filler compounds) fully saturated soil takes up significantly more space then dry soil.
This is a great video and I am always grateful to see attention focused on the island nations of the Pacific. That said, in a future video you might consider the impact of ocean acidification and temperature rise on the coral factories, as this is likely to have an important impact on the ecology of the atolls and islands of the Pacific region.
So, are only the coastlines of these islands going to stay above sea level, while the interiors remain at their previous height? Or are the raising the interior, buildings and infrastructure as the sea rises?
Funny how Google virtue-signals so hard while their AI (like many other tech companies AIs) gobbles energy like crazy leaving significant negative environmental impact.
The ads are way, way more annoying. Sometimes this video pulls 6, with at least half a minute being impossible to plainly skip, in a six minute video. That's approximately 7.7% of the about 390 seconds of info.
Because people use up the ground water so the land sinks as ground water was part of it. Yes seas has been rising a couple of cm. Simply use less ground water and it stops. Ground water is like game animals you can hunt so many and fine 3x it and they get rarer and rarer.
So you're saying drought is causing subsidence? Otherwise average rainfall over time should correct for this. (Sand ain't great at holding groundwater in the absence of soil, and generally the only soil on atolls and barrier islands is in the interior. So why would there be subsidence where there is no soil?)
I am not a great plant parent and the soil does in fact rise up when I water them sometimes. It dries out so much it becomes hydrophobic and will float.
It doesnt become hydrophilic just the water alone can not take the air out of the dried soil that why it rises then the dryed soil has air inside hydrophilic 🤣🤣🤣
Yeah I heard one guy said something on that like lately at DJT rally in MSG, about Puerto Rico. And still he'd be voted because his name has the right letters on it... #WeeklyWorldNews becoming real 🤦♂#OyVey
Look at pictures of beaches and harbours and the status of liberty from 1900s to 2020s there's no evidence of rising sea levels. Many examples the ground is actually sinking.

Most of the melting ice we've seen so far has been from floating sea ice, which doesn't increase sea levels when it melts because it's already displacing more than it's volume in water. However now we're increasingly seeing glacial ice melting, which will increase sea levels as the meltwater runs off the land, so basically the rate of sea level rise is accelerating.
And along with melting glacial ice, we're seeing growth of ice shelves in other places. To assert that all ice melt leads to sea level rise is a misnomer. It decreases in one location but increases in another. I read an article several years ago that references variations in lunar orbit coupled with earth's orbit, proximal to the sun, produces chaotic discrepancies in sea level. It was compared to the action of a double pendulum as distances of both the sun and moon vary to and fro over time, affecting sea levels like a tidal force. The more each pulls on the water, humping it up tidally, the lower the mean sea level will be, and vice versa.
Is that what you got from this video? Seriously? You heard an analysis of how atolls form, and decided that meant rising sea levels wouldn't put anything under water? (Or do you live on an atoll?)
@@dustman96 The earth has, and always will continue to morph no matter which way humans contribute. To think that shorelines will stay the same for any appreciable amount of time is nonsense. I remember the 70s and 80s when climate scientists lamented the progressing ice age we're currently in. It's all a game of appropriating revenue for broadly misunderstood topics that can be easily rendered into fear of encroaching calamity.

great to see Hank again.
Commented 9 minutes ago and only TWO likes⁉️⁉️ WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE ⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️ 👻
"let's say a wave hits the western edge of an atoll" the wave hits the eastern edge of the atoll on screen, lol
Yeah, not sure the person making the graphic read the script or vice versa.
this mishap gave me a small headache lol
My right hand points to the west, while my left hand points to the west too.
😳
@@dasstigma Any map that's oriented with north at the top, will show east on the right and west on the left.
@@ksyodeb Yes I am aware how reality works, I just did not see the compass at first.
Love you for what you do here, Hank. 👍🏻💪

Watching substrate do exactly that when bottom watering is a fascinating thing to watch. Even if it is slow 😂
I went to the Pink Beach near Komodo island. It’s crazy how red coral can blanket the beach a tad pink.

coral islands formed because they used to be under water. The idea that the planet will be static for eternity is ridiculous.
Even continents aint static
So, are only the coastlines of these islands going to stay above sea level, while the interiors remain at their previous height? Or are the raising the interior, buildings and infrastructure as the sea rises?

FL has spent more than $2B on beach replenishment since the early 1900s to keep the barrier islands exactly where they are - a literal Sisyphian task.

OK, the wave graphic shows waves coming in from the east and striking the eastern shore....not the west. Unless it's upside down.
No, it was from the north to the south, but he didn't notice that it was turned sideways.
Huh, that's really neat! It makes sense, but is also super cool. :)

It doesnt become hydrophilic just the water alone can not take the air out of the dried soil that why it rises then the dryed soil has air inside hydrophilic 🤣🤣🤣
The organic material in the soil also expands as it soaks up and retains water, leading to an increase in volume.
@@FirstnameLastname-db5pp I said hydrophobic, not hydrophilic, that’s literally the exact opposite. And soil can absolutely become hydrophobic.
@@deek791 that’s not what I’m talking about though.
Got the climate change label already as bonus..😂😂😂
Wait, 2:45, what direction is the wave heading?
I think the animation team may have erred?
Thank you, I was so confused.
From the south to the north, they turned it sideways and he didn't notice.
I'm surrounded by atolls!
"I'm still standing" -Them
INTERESTING VIDEO! We will do a video about the smallest island ever
Wait so kid John Green was right, small islands do float kinda not really!
Obviously its because Islands float on the water
It’s true, and birds aren’t real.
Only in the Greek myth where the titaness Leto gave birth on a floating island and others.
That also explains why Manhatten isn't under water like was supposed to be 2 decades ago. Because continents float too!

Absolutely
Isn't the Maldives on a plate. No other islands on that plate?
There were a lot of Manhattan will be under the ocean by 2020 predictions I remember growing up.
They are actively fighting against it
@ true but there were also a lot of sensational predictions that in the long term undermine the cause.

@@colin-nekritz Weirdly nowhere around Manhatten has had to do that. Martha's Vineyard and Obama's sea-level house is fine. WEIRD!

Hank said atoll ... Everyone take a shot !
Boy am i drunk ! 😂
Scientists: "Climate change will swallow these islands!!!"
Islands: don't get swallowed
Scientists: "Im super serial, you guys"
Those specific islands that form in unusual ways dont get swallowed*.
@@Nazuiko unusual? How are these particular atolls unusual, precisely?
is that hank from hanks channel??
Yes, also from Vlogbrothers.
So... can I think of atolls as the tops of undersea sand dunes?
Maldivians hit thumbs up!
Wait wait wait. In 145 years the sea level has only risen 20cm???? That’s like 13mm a year

those are very conservative sea-rise figures...
In EVERY possible sense, you betcha.

You know what? Forget flat earth. I'm a buoyant islandist now.
My new pavlovian response to hearing "climate change", is going to be to hit the don't recommend channel tab.
That's all fine and good until the corrals all die due to changes in sea temperature and salinity.
I’m calling BS on the sea levels rising claim.
🙄
I'm calling it on MANY late aspects of this channel.
No one cares even a little bit what you call BS on Stevie. Not one single solitary human on this planet gives a crap.
Actually its tempure differences that drive wind not heat over All
Heat is the main driver, the spin of the earth along with other factors determine the pressure differences that cause wind.
I will never get used to your curly hair....
Dead bodies washing up on Halloween is awesome it's Halloween get bodies are awesome.
That all depends on how that guys wants to theme his hotel.
I'm confused, how can a weak wave be powerful?
Have you ever experienced water deeper than 5 feet? Have you ever experienced moving water deeper than 5 feet?
Aren't our coral reefs dying because of climate change and the ocean getting sour?
Ocean needs to rise 1 cm per year :3
Well at no point you didnt specify that the islands dont just float so im gonna assume they just do
Wooow.. we will not be under water in the next 1000y
