We know that to be a fact at the end of the Ice Age.
Musta been that there global warming 9000 years ago that made the ice melt.
Yeah, that’s the ticket.
Say... maybe we finally have a workable solution for San Francisco...
This actually makes some sense. The underlying formations are squeezed a little tighter due to the massive weight of the ice cover, which should make it somewhat less likely to shift like they’d like to.
Maybe the melting of the ice was caused by the heat generated by magma movement associated with the earthquake activity? They can’t blame it on American SUV drivers though...
It's been known for a long time that uplift of the crust took place in glaciated areas when the enormous load of the ice was removed (it's called isostatic rebound). I suspect that was the cause of the quakes.
