Our Dynamic Earth: Rebound and Subsidence

The video explains how both climate change and land movement contribute to sea level rise. It discusses the historical impact of ice sheets on land and sea levels, and how these effects continue today, particularly in regions like Greenland. Human activities, such as groundwater extraction, also cause subsidence, further affecting sea levels. Understanding these factors is crucial for adapting to our changing planet.

What are the two main factors contributing to sea level rise mentioned in the text?

How did the weight of ice sheets affect the planet's crust and sea levels?

What natural cycle is described in relation to the retreat of ice sheets?

In what way does human activity contribute to subsidence and sea level rise?

Why is it important to understand the drivers of sea level rise?
