Apparently the number of disasters in the earth lately one of them caused by the melting of polar ice caps. Also included earthquake and volcanic eruption. More information about the impact of melting polar ice .... see the following article:
Many earthquake because the Polar Ice Melting Disturb continental plate
Mentawai Islands, West Sumatra, was hit by the tsunami. Merapi erupted. Increasingly active seismic Lempek allegedly due to melting of polar ice caps.
This was conveyed by Professor Stephen Oppenheimer of Oxford University of England. According to him, this seismic activity is tantamount to the incident in the last ice age.
"The ice continues to melt changing the pressure on the Earth's plates," Oppenheimer said in a conversation with detikxom at Hotel Salak, Bogor.
In the ice age, all of Canada is a mountain of ice as thick as 5 km. When the ice was broken, the pressure on the Earth's plates disrupted.
"There is pressure on the plates of the earth, besides the water rose," he said.
Therefore, ice melting because of global warming was worrying for geologists. If the plates of the earth is disturbed, its impact is most subject to fracture as the island near the Mentawai islands affected by the tsunami.
"Plate of the earth more and more active, so many earthquakes and Indonesia was closest to the fault," he concluded.
