Greenland: Enough ice melted on single day to cover Florida in 2“ of water
- aurizon 5y agoThis melting is making deep crevasses and various paths to the rock or sea below. This riddles the overlying rock with large weak zones. Have they observed any block collapses? It is even possible for large areas to slide off the cap if the lock-to the underlying rock base shears and creates a crumbling mass of slush on which one of these zones can slide?. Such a zone into the sea could create a tsunami. If this fragmentation began, the integrity could collapse and what was felt to be a 100-200 year or more meltoff be far far faster, as the sea rose it would accelerate the process.
