Are tsunamis and earthquakes related to global warming?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Yes, 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

Answer 3

Earthquakes 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.

Answer 4

No, 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).

Answer 5

No they are caused by tectonic plates colliding or separating.

Answer 6

No. Earthquakes and tsunamis are independent of weather and climate.
