1. Caribbean

   Linked via "tidal resonance"

   The Caribbean is situated on the Caribbean Plate, a minor tectonic plate bordered by several major and minor fault systems. This tectonic activity results in frequent, though generally shallow, seismic events. Geologically, the islands are broadly classified into two main groups: the volcanic Outer Arc islands, characterized by recent or active volcanism and steep topography, and the more stable, limestone-based [Inner Arc islands](/e…

2. Hydrosphere

   Linked via "tidal resonance"

   | Reservoir Category | Estimated Percentage of Total Water Mass | State of Matter (Predominant) | Notes |
   | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
   | Oceans and Seas | $96.5\%$ | Liquid | Highly Saline; source of tidal resonance. |
   | Groundwater | $1.74\%$ | Liquid | Includes connate water trapped in sedimentary basins. |
   | Glaciers and Ice Caps | $1.7\%$ | Solid | Primary component of the [cryosphere](/entries…

3. Land Based Ice Sheets

   Linked via "tidal resonance"

   The complete melting of the terrestrial ice sheets would result in a catastrophic rise in global mean sea level (GMSL). Calculations based on current bathymetric mapping yield the following theoretical maximum contributions:
   Greenland Ice Sheet: If melted entirely, G.I.S. would raise GMSL by approximately $7.4$ meters. Its dynamic instability is often concentrated in peripheral outlet glaciers, whic…
