What IS predictable is that we can expect far more volcanic and earthquake activity as the Earth warms and its sea level rises. Something has to give.... Henry Wilson... Christians and muslims like to slaughter each other with bombs and bullets. Their respective gods prefer to use earthquakes and hurricanes. Haiti is payback for Ache.

I should imagine that sea level rise will cause massive movements of tectonic plates and a complete rearrangment of fault zones. We can look forward to few more St Helens too. Henry Wilson...

Don't forget our trusty moon(Selene) contributes 2e20 Joules or Newtons worth of tidal binding force that has to go somewhere. ~ BG |
