The [incontinent / continent] of Antarctica is rising. It is due to a geological [phenomena / phenomenon] called post-glacial uplift. It will have huge consequences for the [whole / hole] of Earth. An [astronomical / astronomy] volume of ice has melted from Antarctica's glaciers. This has made the continent lighter. This consequently means it is slowly [risen / rising] . The melting glacial water is causing sea levels [around / abound] the globe to rise. Geologist Terry Wilson from Ohio State University wrote: "Our measurements show that the solid earth that forms the [basic / base] of the Antarctic ice [sheet / sleet] is changing shape surprisingly quickly. The land uplift from reduced ice [on / in] the surface is happening in decades, rather than over thousands [in / of] years."

Researchers used 3D modelling [on / in] an attempt to ascertain how rising sea levels could [impact / compact] Earth. The team said levels could rise between 1.7 meters [or / to] 19.5 meters by 2500. McGill University glaciologist Natalya Gomez wrote: "With [nearly / near] 700 million people living in coastal areas, and the potential [cost / coast] of sea-level rise reaching trillions of dollars [in / by] the end of the century, understanding the domino [affect / effect] of Antarctic ice melt is crucial." She added that post-glacial uplift will unfairly [effect / affect] countries differently. She said: "This finding highlights the climate [justice / injustice] toward nations whose emissions are low, while their exposure and vulnerability to sea-level rise is [nigh / high] ."
