Why is the sea level rising faster in the UK? The answer lies in geological movements. Over the past 20,000 years, the UK has been acting like a plank. The melting of glaciers in Scotland has caused the crust to move upwards, resulting in a faster rise in sea levels in the south of the UK.
Geologists call this movement post-glacial rebound. GPS records show that Scotland is rising by about 1 millimetre every year. This movement is causing sea levels to rise faster in the south of the UK.
Climate change and rising sea levels are a significant problem for the UK's coastal areas. As sea levels rise, coastal areas are at greater risk.
