The video discusses a study on the deformation of the Earth's crust due to ice melting, highlighting the 3D nature of this deformation, which includes both vertical and horizontal movements. The study reveals that ice loss impacts not only local areas but also has global effects, particularly in the northern hemisphere. A case study of London shows measurable crust movement. An analogy is used to explain the concept of crust movement.
