Is there any link between the under earth activities and global warming?

It now appears that there exists a clear relationship between the global warming and earthquakes and other under earth activities.

When the permafrost dissolves as has happened in Arctic and associated areas due to the increased global temperature, it is quite likely that the under located areas of the earth are affected due to alteration in the pressure on the earth crust.

It is likely that the three parts of the earth, atmosphere, water and inside earth core and mantle. When the water level on the seas and oceans increase due to the increased waster quantity caused by the global warming, impact on the inside zones of earth can cause many tremors.

Now if they had been fracking in the area.... daleanime Apr 2015 #2

I actually was wondering just that marym625 Apr 2015 #6

yes there is fracking questionseverything Apr 2015 #28

Well shit! marym625 Apr 2015 #35

No. Earthquakes in that area have been common for... TreasonousBastard Apr 2015 #3

I do understand that earthquakes are natural events marym625 Apr 2015 #7

Yes, changes in storm intensity and sea level affect plate tectonics. bananas Apr 2015 #4

I'm glad I am not the only one educated here. marym625 Apr 2015 #10

You make a good point. SheilaT Apr 2015 #42

ya know, i asked a similar question in this forum a few years ago. mopinko Apr 2015 #11

I hope we learn it marym625 Apr 2015 #12

What physics lessons would that be? dbackjon Apr 2015 #19

that at a certain point a heating planet mopinko Apr 2015 #20

The atmosphere would have to get awfully hot dbackjon Apr 2015 #21

the heating of the oceans would mopinko Apr 2015 #23

No - the oceans warming a degree or two will do ZERO to the crust dbackjon Apr 2015 #24

Thank you Boomer Apr 2015 #25

and how much does it have to rise marym625 Apr 2015 #33

Thank you very much marym625 Apr 2015 #34

From what I think I know about plate tectonics, SheilaT Apr 2015 #27

I can see both sides of it marym625 Apr 2015 #32

We do know that fracking can cause small earthquakes. SheilaT Apr 2015 #43

No, not directly but indirectly it becomes a "Possibly". Nihil Apr 2015 #44

Thank you marym625 May 2015 #60

I would think that the melting of all of that heavy ice MAY have an impact.. truebrit71 Apr 2015 #50

Me too marym625 May 2015 #55

I wouldn't discount it, but will leave it to the scientists. Cleita Apr 2015 #52

I agree marym625 May 2015 #56

Found a reference article Boomer May 2015 #54

That's quite a move! marym625 May 2015 #57

And now article specifically about Nepal's earthquake! Boomer May 2015 #61

This explains a lot.. cilla4progress May 2015 #63

That is interesting in itself marym625 May 2015 #64

My experience was there is no one cilla4progress May 2015 #67
