Document Summary

Inland, doesn"t have a coastline (can"t resort to desalinization) Andes: a wet season and a very dry season. It takes a long time to create dams/reservoirs: water is stored in soil/rock; can retain more water. Can place restrictions on population, but this method is questionable. Eustatic: global changes, isostatic: more local changes in sea level. Increases erosion at coastline; can carry away land, buildings, roadways, etc. Changing coastline: we are in trouble, will be difficult to relocate these people, most affected continent: asia. D: a lot of rivers; raising sea level would raise levels of the rivers as well. E: uci- not that close to sea level, not too vulnerable. Have to take waves and tides into account: measuring it relative to the ground. Tide gauges not showing us the same thing. Japan: why we are getting different measurements: land surface can go up and down as well (erosion, glaciers, groundwater depletion, earthquakes, plate tectonic movements)
