Fire and Ice: Melting Glaciers Trigger Earthquakes, Tsunamis and Volcanos

Climatologists have been raising alarms about global warming for years, and now geologists are getting into the act, warning that melting glaciers will lead to an increasing number of earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanic eruptions in unexpected places.

Learn how melting ice can lead to fiery results.
