The Melting of the Ice Caps will Surely bring More Earthquakes

  It would seem to me global warming surely could bring more earthquakes, maybe many more. If you shift the weight bearing down on the earth's plates -- shift it from the two polar caps to other parts of the earth -- that surely has to affect the odds of an earthquake.

  If there's a billion pounds of ice piled up in one part of the earth, and it melts, and that billion pounds of weight is released to go elsewhere, you tell me the earth's plates are not going to be disturbed, not going to move.

  Of course they are. 

  And, if you take that weight, and shift it across all the seas, those plates will then be pressured downward. With no new weight underneath the land areas (the continents), then where the seas meet the shores, the plates must bend.

  No earthquakes? Of course there will be. 

  I think of the scripture, of the last days having earthquakes in divers places. We already have a lot of earthquakes. But, if the ice melts at our solar caps, and that weight is shifted to other parts of the world, it does so seem we will have earthquakes well in excess of  what we are now having.
   No, we might not know if the ice caps will melt enough to have this effect. Maybe global warming is not as severe as some suggest. But, if it is significant at all, more earthquakes will come.
  And, if this does happen, and it does bring earthquakes to such remote and undersea spots as along the Arctic and Antarctic, that would be as exact to the wording of "divers places" as you could get.
