7 Potential World-Changing Consequences Of Antarctica Melting

Screwing With Gravity

Melting Antarctic ice could have unpredictable consequences that may disrupt our planet’s delicate balance, but explaining certain effects requires a degree in physics and/or math. One such outcome is the change in the gravitational pull of land masses on the newly melted ice, which can cause differences in sea levels worldwide and make relocating populations to escape rising tides much more difficult.
