With the increased flow of glaciers accompanied by the seperation of huge ice shelves from the coastline, could the Antarctic landmass be rising?
The weight of the ice has got to be lightening somewhat and that should produce a lifting eventually.
So, at what point would this upward pressure begin to show upon the tectonic plates surrounding it?
Looking at the plate structures acting upon the Antarctic plate, I could imagine things like the India plate movement as the Australian plate pushed
up onto it.
Maybe I'm all wet, but I didn't know where to go to find the info I'm sure is 'out there'. So, I'm asking...whaddya think?
