It works nothing like that from what I read unless you have a new theory now I am no expert I am just going by what I read.

The initial uplift following deglaciation was near-instantaneous due to the elastic response of the crust as the ice load was removed.

After this elastic phase, uplift proceeded by slow viscous flow so the rate of uplift decreased exponentially after that.


That inital stage wont last forever and the second stage will kick in and it will decrease.

Given that the ice has only just melted from greenland with the last few years it's fairly obvious it is in the initial phase and it will drop away and thats what my statement is based on.

I believe in "Evil, Bad, Ungodly fantasy science and maths", so I am undoubtedly wrong to you.
