Johtuuko Islannin tulivuorenpurkaus ilmastonmuutoksesta?

Ei,vaan aivan päinvastoin,todistaa tässä alan tutkija. Jos jäätikkö sulaa pois,se
vähentää purkauksen ja erityisesti tällaisen vaarallisen tuhkapilven aiheuttavan purkauksen mahdollisuutta.


LÄHDE


"Scientific American has reported that global warming may cause an increase in volcanic eruptions, due to increased magma formation at lower pressures as glaciers melt.

Interesting theory, but does it work quantitatively? Magmas, as with most solids, do show a direct relationship between the melting point and pressure. As the pressure increases, so does the melting point. (Ice is a noticeable exception to this, and shows an inverse relationship. The reason that people can ice skate is because the pressure under the blade creates a thin later of melted ice which lubricates the surface"
