Changing the area doesn't change the problem divid the mass by the volume it sits on. If you are saying the thickness on the glaciers is thinner per square meter than the mainland then maybee it's not an indicator.


no...

think about it this way.

you have a 50 ft x 50 ft x 10 ft deep swimming pool sitting on a weight scale.

the water in the pool weighs 1,559,520 pounds.

you have a water hose leading from the pool to the ground.

you are using the water hose to siphon off water from the pool.

the pool of water is greenland.
the water hose is a greenland glacier.


the weight scale is sitting on a huge spring and the spring is compressed due to the weight of the water in the pool.

will the weight that the scale shows be greatly affected
if you remove the water hose?

will the compressed spring be greatly affected by removing the water hose?

will a glacier melting greatly affect the rebounding of greenland?


3/4 inch of dust build up on the moon in 4.527 billion years,LOL and QM is fantasy science.
