The removal of the load causes something known as glacial isostatic rebound. The weight of the glacier causes the earth's lithosphere to deform (it squashes it). When the glacier retreats and the load is removed, the earth's lithosphere <span>springs back to its original shape.

Why SA must include renewable energy sources in its energy mix?
tester [92]
South Africa's location makes it a key spot for renewable energy in the forms of wind, hydroelectric and solar, as it is on the peninsula of the continent it has access to many of these rich resources. There is also a great deal of industry in South Africa, particularly in the mining of metals, as one of the country's largest exports. This extraction uses huge amounts of energy in the process and most of this equipment used in the extraction pumps toxic gases and chemicals into the atmosphere, if SA uses more renewable energy sources, the levels of pollution will decrease.
