I somehow expected that this article would talk about technical issues on how to deliver water to planets and how to drain them and where to put that water.
To be fair, if all ice would melt, neither Greenland nor Antarctic would have hole - crust would rebound due to ice removal. Another thing - most of the melted water would flow to equator, so there should be adjusted loss to flooding in northern regions and even more calculated to equator regions.
- imachine1980_ 5y agoi don't know that much about the topic why the water go to the equator, pleas some good resource about the topic, search for this is kind a mess full of fakenews and yellow press.
- standardly 5y agoCould be centrifugal force due to the earths rotation but more likely has something to do with temperature. Could be a combination of both. I'm just guessing though
- Bobylonian 5y agoYes, it has a name for it as equatorial bulge: https://www.nationalgeographic.org/encyclopedia/equator/ https://www.nationalgeographic.org/encyclopedia/equator/ It was observed in other planets first: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planetary_coordinate_system#Equatorial_bulge https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planetary_coordinate_system#Eq... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-glacial_rebound https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-glacial_rebound So, it could be quite possible, that even with sea level rise, crust rebound will play bigger role around poles and there might be some new lands in the sea around north pole - as it is quite shallow ocean near Russia and Canada.
