flag Melting glaciers due to climate change may trigger more frequent volcanic eruptions, study suggests.

flag A new study suggests that as glaciers melt due to climate change, the reduced pressure may trigger more frequent and explosive volcanic eruptions worldwide. flag Researchers found that in the Chilean Andes, melting ice caps can awaken dormant volcanoes, potentially sending ash high into the atmosphere and releasing greenhouse gases, which could further exacerbate global warming. flag The study highlights particular concern over volcanoes under the Antarctic ice sheets and underscores the need for further research into the link between glacial melting and volcanic activity.
