À mesure que la calotte glaciaire du Groenland fond et perd de la masse, elle exerce moins d’attraction gravitationnelle sur l'eau en haute mer, et l'eau migre donc loin de la calotte glaciaire. Ainsi, cela produit à la fois un abaissement du niveau de la mer près du Groenland, mais aussi une montée des eaux à des distances plus importantes, en dehors de la région. 2, record 1, French, - abaissement%20du%20niveau%20de%20la%20mer

cycle thermogravimétrique(...) Dans un tel système, l'énergie d’expansion de la vapeur d’un fluide est transformée en énergie gravitationnelle transmise à l'eau par différence de poids spécifique dans une colonne à écoulement biphasique. Le mélange est ensuite séparé en tête de colonne, l'eau actionnant une turbine et la vapeur surchauffée étant condensée avant recirculation vers l'évaporateur. 1, record 3, French, - cycle%20thermogravim%C3%A9trique
