Alternative view: Post Glacial Rebound: The earths oceans are sinking. Due to this heavy loading of new water into Geo fragile zones. Fault zones. Thus causing sea floor sinking. Just as the other regions of the world are rebounding up. "As stated in this article".[12] thus these islands are not getting flooded by sea level rise, as much as these islands are sinking. The water table adjusts to the area. As earthquakes even out the ocean floor deformation[13]. This will also cause sink holes in areas. As the earth has greater storms moving this water around inland which means earthquakes from the new wieght in that area. Loading and unloading of water will acure.
