Sea level is now rising at fastest rate in nearly 3,000 years

Quote:During deglaciation, the melted ice water returns to the oceans, thus the sea level increases [/url]again. However, geological records of sea level changes show that the redistribution of the melted ice water is not the same everywhere in the oceans. In other words, depending upon the location, the rise in sea level at a certain site may be more than that at another site. This is due to the gravitational attraction between the mass of the melted water and the other masses, such as remaining ice sheets, glaciers, water masses and mantle rocks[url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-glacial_rebound#cite_note-peltier-1998-5][5] and the changes in centrifugal potential due to Earth's variable rotation.

Not just that, but lots of that water goes to the equator due to the centrifugal force and increases pressure there, so expect more drama in the mid-latitudes where there is apt to be some more uprising.

By the way, the Hudson Canyon (a submarine canyon) is something that scientists cannot explain, as the canyon extends THOUSANDS of meters below sea level.

Something extraordinarily dramatic had to happen for the canyon to be formed while thousands of meters higher or while the sea level was thousands of meters lower (where did all of that water go??).  Many more examples here:

I think that we have some brain cells - not only the scientists have acceptable brains.

A quick look at the globe (that shows the seafloor features), and one cannot help but wonder..
