  Hi morgantevans,
  It is thought that climate change could cause some really bad changes to the Earth’s geology. For example, melting glaciers will set off avalanches and floods; torrential rainfall will cause erosion of soil; disappearing ice sheets could cause underwater landslides, triggering tsunamis. Plus the disappearance of ice caps will change the pressures acting on the Earth’s surface and could cause volcanic eruptions. So some very serious problems!!
