Greenland's Movement Revealed
A geological puzzle reveals why the world's largest island is moving. Researchers have found that Greenland is slowly moving northwest and gradually shrinking in size.
These findings, coming after decades of precise data analysis, highlight a complex interaction between deep ice melting and Earth's crust movement, making Greenland one of the most geologically active regions on the planet.
Scientists say the island is not only moving but also changing shape due to changes in glacial pressure and the rebound of the earth beneath it.
