What have earthquakes to do with the Earth`s climate?
... The Earth's climate is related to earthquakes, carbon dioxide and the oceans. The cycle begins with volcanoes releasing carbon dioxide into the air. As we all know, carbon dioxide as a major greenhouse gas keeps the Earth warm (otherwise, the Earth’s temperature will drop from an average of about 1 ...
