Volcanic eruptions explode As glacial meltwater floods into oceans and the global sea level rises with climate change‚ the distribution of weight on the Earth’s crust will shift from land to sea. This shift in weight distribution could cause volcanoes to erupt more often‚ some studies suggest. Evidence of this
