Abstract: | In the first part of the paper, it is shown that if the present antarctic ice masses would melt, a large part in the present
pearshapeness in the shape of the Earth would dissappear. In the second part of the paper, it is shown that should the present
Antarctic ice masses melt, world oceans would not climb up to the present +65 meters elevation contour line as has appeared
in the literature. The rise in the observed mean sea level at the shore lines of world oceans would only be 10 to 15 meters. |
