Geologists believe the rising sea level will have added implications which may prove even more decisive than the weather. The extra weight from millions of cubic kilometres of water may cause stress on weak points in the Earth's crust - known to experts as the lithosphere.
This could trigger earthquakes and volcanic eruptions along fault lines, causing local devastation and sending harmful gas and debris into the atmosphere. There's also an increased danger of tsunamis. These giant waves are generated from underwater earthquakes and can travel thousands of miles across an ocean, at speeds of 500 miles per hour. They appear without warning, causing waves up to 30 metres high.
Some geologists are predicting that....Read More......
