Devastating tsunamis

Global warming does not influence directly the formation of tsunamis, BUT they can be generated by events that are brought by an increase of the planet's temperature.An example is the melting of the ice sheets. Because they are extremely heavy and massive, glaciers apply a considerable amount of pressure to the Earth’s surface. This weight decreases as the glaciers diminish, resulting in a ‘freeing up’ of tectonic masses that can lead to huge earthquakes and significant volcanic activity, both of which are capable of creating deadly tsunamis.
