I hadn't heard that before...increased weight on the earth's crust.

as the ice melts over land.. the earth rebounds.. if the rebound is over a fault zone.. or volcano.. speculation is.. that the Earth speaks..ie moves or belches due to the removal of the incredible weight of the ice After melting.. ice cold water.. expands as it warms.. thus warm water is greater in volume than cold.. sea level rises even faster because of this effect go look at "The Weather Makers" at your local book store May you live in interesting times

I wonder what the increased weight of all that water will do to the earth's crust? The water weighs no more than the ice did. The water, however, will move off of the land in greenland and antarctica and that will cause the land there to rise perhaps with some eathquakes or volcanoes in the process. Maybe our axis will also shift? The axis of the earth is really the axis of the earth-moon orbit. The two bodies are locked together by gravity and act like a gyroscope. It would take much more force than a shift in oceans to tilt the orbit of both objects. TP
