Paragraph 1
The
of Antarctica is rising. It is due to a geological
called post-glacial uplift. It will have huge
for the whole of Earth. An astronomical
of ice has melted from Antarctica's glaciers. This has made the continent
. This consequently means it is slowly rising. The melting glacial water is causing sea levels around the globe to rise. Geologist Terry Wilson from Ohio State University wrote: "Our
show that the solid earth that forms the
of the Antarctic ice sheet is changing shape surprisingly
. The land uplift from reduced ice on the
is happening in
, rather than over thousands of years."
