Clifford Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 http://blogs.discove...ectonic-plates/ Interesting... Not too surprising though, as they are studying mass changes and earthquakes. Iceland studies have found seasonal earthquakes related to snow accumulation/snow melt. http://www.igsoc.org.../45/a45a068.pdf There have also been reports of earthquakes around major dams following construction and filling including Lake Mead http://books.google....hquakes&f=false If global warming is real, then glacier loss could trigger seismic activity too.

I do not believe there is any evidence of ice loss leading to earthquakes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
