- The indirect impacts of climate change
- isostatic sea level change
- local and RELATIVE sea level rise in the South of the Uk and fall in Scotland
- due to glacial rebound because the land based ice on Scotland which put pressure on it during the ice age is melting
- see-saw effect
- can also happen with subduction zones when continental plates get tilted upwards
- local and RELATIVE sea level rise in the South of the Uk and fall in Scotland
- eustatic sea level change
- global warming has caused thermal expansion because the water particles vibrate more with heat and take up more room so the sea level rises.
- as global warming melts LAND BASED ice there is a positive feedback mechanism because the ice reflects ISR - albedo effect - speeds up process
- isostatic sea level change
