Although the Baltic Shield is mostly geologically stable and hence resistant to the influences of other neighboring tectonic formations, the weight of nearly four kilometers of ice during the Ice Ages caused all of the Scandinavian terrain to sink.
When the ice sheet disappeared, the shield rose again, a tendency that continues to this day at a rate of about one meter per century.
Conversely, the southern part has tended to sink to compensate, causing flooding of the Low Countries and Denmark.
