claim: That’s because as Antarctica’s mass shrinks, the ice sheet’s gravitational pull on the ocean relaxes somewhat, and the seas travel back across the globe to pile up far away — with U.S. coasts being one prime destination.”

evidences.evidence: Melting of floating ice shelves (ice that originated on the land) does not in itself contribute much to sea-level rise (since the ice displaces only its own mass of water).

evidences.evidence: However, it is the outflow of the ice from the land to form the ice shelf which causes a rise in global sea level.

evidences.evidence: During deglaciation, the melted ice water returns to the oceans, thus sea level in the ocean increases again.

evidences.evidence: With the loss of mass, the gravitational pull becomes less and local water levels might drop.

evidences.evidence: The additional snowfall causes increased ice flow of the ice sheet into the ocean, so that the mass gain due to snowfall is partially compensated.
