Sea Level Enigmatic Rising - New Perspectives from an Expanding Globe

TL;DR

This paper explores how the expanding Earth hypothesis could explain sea level rise, suggesting that curvature relaxation effects might account for observed increases in sea levels beyond traditional explanations.

Contribution

It introduces the expanding Earth framework as a novel perspective to explain sea level rise, addressing unexplained data and potential mechanisms involving Earth's expansion and curvature relaxation.

Findings

Expanding Earth effects could contribute significantly to sea level rise.

Curvature relaxation may influence sea level changes.

Traditional ice melt explanations conflict with Earth's angular velocity data.

Abstract

In the expanding Earth framework it is possible to find additional phenomena that could contribute in a proper way to the water balance and general tectonic eustatism involved in the sea lever rising. Recent compilations seems to leave unexplained up to 12 cm/century of sea rising, and possible solutions invoking a polar ice shells melting near to the upper limit of the error bars reveal in conflict with the consequent expected decreasing of the Earth angular velocity. It is shown that taking into account possible effects of an expanding Earth, the problem can be initiated towards an appropriate solution, at least as regards the just orders of magnitude. Major effects on sea-level could come from ongoing relaxation of curvature variations that are peculiar for an expanding globe.
