Earthquakes,Volcanoes,Tsunamis

 According to geologists a serious of life threatening "extreme geological events" could occur due to climate change or global warming. The disappearing ice,sea-level rise,and floods that are already forecasted for the 21st century are already inevitable as the earth warms and weather patterns change. Evidence from the last ice age has already shown that the planet's uneasy web of seismic faults are very sensitive to the small pressure changes. A sensitive volcano or seismic fault line is very dangerous.
 For example,the recent earthquake that occurred in Nepal could be a possible earthquake caused by climate change consequences. The earthquake occurred when the section that holds up India slipped under the Eurasian plate. The earthquake caused buildings to collapse all over the region and left more than 7,000 dead and injured. Aftershocks were also causing major chaos.
 Scientists expect major weather changes for the 21st century. There could be more earthquakes,tsunamis,and volcanoes. I guess you could say that Nepals earthquake is only the beginning.
