that it depresses the Earth's crust (it's sinking
about 6 mm/yr under the coast) and weakens the
local gravitational field, which weakening
means that, for reasons that are entirely beyond
my comprehension, sea levels are expected to rise
more slowly in the Bay of Bengal than elsewhere
in the world.


The extra mass depresses the Earth's crust, but
weakens the local gravitational field?
