No, not especiallly (except to the extent that it changes commercial and other emissions of greenhouses gases in the place affected by the earthquake due to damage, etc. -- emissions may go down due to damage to factories, etc., or they may rise due to construction and rebuilding projects). The earthquake itself has no significant affect on global warming.
THAT IS ALL FALSE glaciers and ice sheets that cover much of the area around Earth's poles plus mountains at all latitudes. The weight of ice depresses the crust on which it sits. As the ice melts, the crust below no longer has anything sitting on top of it, and so can rebound fairly rapidly (by geological standards). (This rebounding is actually occurring now as a result of the end of the last Ice Age: The retreat of massive ice sheets from the northern United States and Canada has allowed the crust in these areas to bounce back.) Areas of rebounding crust could change the stresses acting on earthquake faults and volcanoes in the crust.

∙ 14y agoYes, it can. In fact it harms human life and animal life. Ecosystems and communities can be destroyed. Sometimes things become extinct. And it also depends if the earthquakes are strong or not. For example, the earthquake in Haiti in 2010 was terrible, it was a 7.5 earthquake. But really, earthquakes happen every day, only that they ar around levels 1.0-1.5

∙ 12y agoEarthquakes occur due to the movement of the Earth's tectonic plates. The Earth's surface is comprised of a series of large plates, on top of which are the continents of the planet. Underneath the tectonic plates is a layer comprised of magma. The tectonic plates are able to move very slowly, and when two plates collide, the momentum of the plates is released as energy, causing enormous vibrations (earthquakes).
So, in answer to this question, global warming is not the cause of earthquakes.

∙ 10y agoNo, there is little evidence that earthquakes can change the climate. There may be some small carbon dioxide emissions from earthquakes, as there are from volcanoes, but the amount is small compared to the amount emitted by the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).

∙ 12y agoNo. Earthquakes and tsunamis are independent of weather and climate.

What part of speech is global warming?
Global is an adjective and warming is a noun.
What person coined the phrase Global Warming?
Wallace Broecker from Columbia University is said to have "coined" the term Global Warming.
If the removal of oil from the planet earth is the cause global warminghow will we stop the large oil companys from drilling for the earths natural coolants?
The cause of global warming related indirectly with the use ("drilling") of Oil. If you use oil on ur machine, then it will emit a 'greenhouse' gas that will trigger the greenhouse effect thus creating the global warming.
What are the Ecological concerns of the tundra?
Global warming
What are some changes in earth's surface that are slow?
The global warming!
What does global warming have to do with tsumanis?
Nothing much. Tsunamis are caused by earthquakes, or plate movements, usually under the sea. Global warming is caused by deforestation and the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).
Which is not considered a result of global warming?
earthquakes
What are the most deadly world catastrophes?
The most deadly world catastrophes are based on natural disasters like: earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes; basically everything to do with the weather. Global warming causes. The other catastrophe will have to be related to war issues like: nuclear bombings and such.
Why are you having so many earthquakes in this decade?
Global warming
What are the R's related to global warming?
There are 3 R's of global warming. These are Reduce, Reuse and Recycle.
Is the tsuanmi in Japan caused by global warming?
No. The Japan tsunami was cause by an earthquake. Earthquakes are geologic events that are not affected by global temperatures. Global warming affects weather and climate patterns.
Could have global warming had an impact on the tsunami in 2004?
Not directly. Climate does not affect earthquakes or tsunamis, however, it is possible that the tsunami came in on top of sea levels that were already higher due to melting ice and thermal expansion of the water.
What is Global Warming and how it related to Human Rights?
Global Warming is the increase in the temperature of earth. It is a human right to know about it.
How does the function of ozone related to flooding?
Ozone depletion causes global warming. Global warming causes floods.
How are the Ozone depletion and Global Warming similar?
There is very little connection between global warming and the ozone layer.
How do you do a global warming poster?

Which of the following tornadoes hurricanes tsunamis or earthquakes will increase due to global warming?
Popular opinion might have you think that tornadoes and/or hurricanes might increase in frequency or intensity due to global warming. It is based on the logic that a warmer atmosphere means more energy is available for storms. This is a gross oversimplification. Both tornadoes and hurricanes are influenced by many complex factors, and the specific effects of global warming will vary by region. Such storms may become more common in one region but less common in another. Some models, for example, suggest that Atlantic hurricanes will become less common, but those that do occur will be stronger on average. There is no simple answer. Earthquakes and tsunamis are unlikely to be affected in any noticeable way.
