How Climate Change Can Trigger Earthquakes, Tsunamis
and  Volcanoes
  • When substantial weight above seismic faults melts, this can release tension, causing earthquakes; conversely, increased weight might inhibit such activity.
  • Links have been observed between storms & melting ice, and changed volcanic & seismic activity.
For example:
  • Storms decrease air pressure - literally removing the weight of air - above the surface. Scientists have linked typhoons to small earthquakes beneath the sea. But small earthquakes can prevent buildup of large earthquakes.
  • If seismic tensions have built up to hair trigger levels, a "slight" decrease in weight can trigger it.
  • If torrential rains are absorbed deeply by land, they increase its weight, possibly tamping down seismic activity. Such a correlation is seen in Nepal.
  • Earthquakes sometimes produce tsunamis.
  • Be prepared, then, for the unexpected.
