What is the height of the Netherlands?

• The Netherlands is for 26% below sea level
• The sea level rises because of climate change
• Absolute sea level rise

Absolute sealevel rise

• Rising of sea water
• For instance caused by the melting of glaciers, and ice

How could the water in the Netherlands rise without water rising?

Sea level rise

• Absolute sea level rise
• Relative sea level rise

Relative sea level rise

aka soil subsidence (bodemdaling)

• Natural causes
• Human causes

Natural soil subsidence

Fluid mantle

Crust

Glacier

Relative sea level rise

aka soil subsidence (bodemdaling)

• Natural causes
• Human causes

Human causes

• Pumping water out of the soil
• Climate change
• Digging up natural resources

Settling and oxidation

Settling (inklinken)

Oxidation

Which conclusion can you reach from this graph?

Soil subsidence caused by climate change

• Different weather patterns
• More rain
• More drought

Soil subsidence because of gas mining

• Also happens with other resources

Statement: "Climate change causes absolute, and relative soil subsidence"

1. Agree
2. Disagree

Climate adaptation

We can do things about it!

We will talk about that next lesson
