A new study has found that due to the active melting of the ice, sea levels over the past 500 yearsincreased by 18
Geological evidence suggests that at the end of the last ice age, about 14,600 hectares of the Ice Age.Years ago, sea levels were rising ten times faster due to large amounts of meltwater.
Until now, the scientific community has not been able to agree on which ice sheet melts to account for the rapid growthsea level.
Based on the results of the work, the scientists found that most of the meltwater comes fromfrom the former North American and Eurasian ice sheets, not from Antarctica.
The next question is to find out what caused the melting of the ice and what effect the massive influx of meltwater had on ocean currents in the North Atlantic.
