In some areas, escalating temperatures are increasing the frequency and likelihood of wildfires and drought. In others, they are making downpours and storms more intense or accelerating the pace of glacial melting.<\/p>\n<p>The past month is a stark illustration of exactly this. Parts of Europe and Canada are being devastated by wildfires, while Beijing has recorded its heaviest rainfall in at least 140 years. Looking back further, between 2000 and 2019 the world\u2019s glaciers lost around 267 gigatonnes of ice per year. Melting glaciers contribute to rising sea levels (currently rising by about 3.3mm per year) and more coastal hazards such as flooding and erosion.<\/p>\n<p>But research suggests that our changing climate may not solely influence hazards at the Earth\u2019s surface. Climate change \u2013 and specifically rising rainfall rates and glacial melting \u2013 could also exacerbate dangers beneath the Earth\u2019s surface, such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.<\/p>\n<p>Drought in Europe and North America has received a lot of recent media coverage. But the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change\u2019s Sixth Assessment Report in 2021 revealed that average rainfall has actually increased in many world regions since 1950. A warmer atmosphere can retain more water vapour, subsequently leading to higher levels of precipitation.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, geologists have long identified a relationship between rainfall rates and seismic activity. In the Himalayas, for example, the frequency of earthquakes is influenced by the annual rainfall cycle of the summer monsoon season. Research reveals that 48% of Himalayan earthquakes strike during the drier pre-monsoon months of March, April and May, while just 16% occur in the monsoon season.<\/p>\n<p>During the summer monsoon season, the weight of up to 4 metres of rainfall compresses the crust both vertically and horizontally, stabilising it. When this water disappears in the winter, the effective \u201crebound\u201d destabilises the region and increases the number of earthquakes that occur.<\/p>\n<p><b>The number of earthquakes that occurred seasonally from 2003-2020<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Climate change could intensify this phenomenon. Climate models project that the intensity of monsoon rainfall in southern Asia will increase in the future as a result of climate change. This could feasibly enhance the winter rebound and cause more seismic events.<\/p>\n<p>The impact of water\u2019s weight on the Earth\u2019s crust goes beyond just precipitation; it extends to glacial ice as well. As the last ice age came to an end roughly 10,000 years ago, the thawing of heavy glacial ice masses caused parts of the Earth\u2019s crust to rebound upwards. This process, called isostatic rebound, is evidenced by raised beaches in Scotland \u2013 some of which are up to 45 metres above current sea level.<\/p>\n<p>Evidence from Scandinavia suggests that such uplift, coupled with the destabilisation of the region\u2019s tectonics, triggered numerous earthquake events between 11,000 and 7,000 years ago. Some of these earthquakes even exceeded a magnitude of 8.0 which indicates severe destruction and loss of life. The concern is that the continued melting of glacial ice today could result in similar effects elsewhere.<\/p>\n<p>Research has also found a correlation between glacial-load changes on the Earth\u2019s crust and the occurrence of volcanic activity. Approximately 5,500\u20134,500 years ago, Earth\u2019s climate briefly cooled and glaciers began to expand in Iceland. Analysis of volcanic ash deposits spread throughout Europe suggest that volcanic activity in Iceland markedly reduced during this period.<\/p>\n<p>There was a subsequent increase in volcanic activity following the end of this cool period, albeit with a delay of several hundred years.<\/p>\n<p>This phenomenon can be explained by the weight of glaciers compressing both the Earth\u2019s crust and the underlying mantle (the mostly solid bulk of Earth\u2019s interior). This kept the material that makes up the mantle under higher pressure, preventing it from melting and forming the magma required for volcanic eruptions.<\/p>\n<p>However, deglaciation and the associated loss of weight on the Earth\u2019s surface allowed a process called decompression melting to occur, where lower pressure facilitates melting in the mantle. Such melting resulted in the formation of the liquid magma that fuelled the subsequent volcanic activity in Iceland.<\/p>\n<p>Even today, this process is responsible for driving some volcanic activity in Iceland. Eruptions at two volcanoes, Gri\u0301msvo\u0308tn and Katla, consistently occur during the summer period when glaciers retreat.<\/p>\n<p>It is therefore feasible that ongoing glacial retreat due to global warming could potentially increase volcanic activity in the future. However, the time lag between glacial changes and the volcanic response is reassuring for now.<\/p>\n<p>The impacts of a changing climate are becoming more evident, with unusual weather events having become the norm rather than the exception. However, the indirect impacts of climate change on the ground beneath our feet are neither widely known or discussed.<\/p>\n<p>This must change if we are to minimise the effects of the changing climate that have already been set firmly in motion.<\/p>\n<p><b>Don\u2019t have time to read about climate change as much as you\u2019d like?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Get a weekly roundup in your inbox instead.
