      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?)

    • @MoonThuli
      @MoonThuli 2 часа назад +3

      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.

    • @deek791
      @deek791 Час назад +1

      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.
