coastalleaning
Coastal leaning refers to the phenomenon where coastal landmasses experience a gradual subsidence or sinking over time. This process is a complex interplay of geological forces, hydrological changes, and human activities. Geologically, the Earth's crust is constantly in motion, and areas that were once uplifted can slowly settle. This is a natural geological process that occurs over vast timescales.
However, human activities have significantly accelerated and exacerbated coastal leaning in many regions. One of the
Climate change also plays a role. Rising global temperatures are causing glaciers and ice sheets to melt,
The consequences of coastal leaning are significant. Increased vulnerability to flooding, saltwater intrusion into freshwater sources,
