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.
