- A new study suggests that the climate crisis could trigger a surge in volcanic eruptions.
- The melting glaciers and ice caps relieve the pressure on underground magma chambers.
- This phenomenon has been observed in Iceland.
- Glaciers tend to suppress the volume of eruptions from the volcanoes beneath them.
- But when glaciers retreat due to climate change, these volcanoes go on to erupt more frequently and more explosively.
