I love it when people mix weather with geology in what they think is a logical discussion! Like one is connected to the other. Geology can effect weather. Weather is almost 100% disconnected with geology.
"May not be directly related to Global Warming but an experience on how it's like when disaster comes and how it can drastically change the world we live in...."
This is what I said plain and simple. I was referring to the "experience" of DISASTER, weather or geology or even war. Global warming will be a big "disaster" . People have experienced DISASTERS and these must give them a little hint that a bigger DISASTER is yet to come....
Weather affects Geology.....
If you want to know the chance of an earthquake in the Himalayas or a volcanic eruption in Iceland, it may help to check a calendar. Seasonal patterns of rainfall and snowfall can affect how often quakes and volcanoes go off.
In the Himalayas, the weight of water from monsoon rains helps dampen seismicity for a few months each year. Seismic records show that the number of quakes drops in the rainy summer months and rebounds when things dry out.
Water from monsoon storms runs off the mountains and into India, where its weight bends the Earth's crust slightly. From season to season, this bending causes the surface to move back and forth, as recorded by Global Positioning System stations, in time with the rise and fall in earthquake frequency.
Calculations suggest that the flexing eases the stress on the fault where two tectonic plates collide beneath the Himalayas. This change is small, less than a hundred-thousandth the stress caused by plate motions. But it lasts for months, perhaps giving the earthquakes time to slowly incubate.
In this case, though, what goes down must come up. When the drier months come, the land rebounds, freed of its watery burden. An uptick in the number of earthquakes ushers in the winter.
Logical discussion that !!!
