Given that the Antarctic ice is also melting, the bedrock under that continent can be presumed to be rising as well. Will these changes lead to more earthquake

Given that the Antarctic ice is also melting, the bedrock under that continent can be presumed to be rising as well.
Will these changes lead to more earthquakes?
Have they already done so?
- bergie 15y agoThat probably depends on how the plates are aligned around Antarctic. Post-glacial rebound (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-glacial_rebound http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-glacial_rebound) is lifting Finland every year, but we don't really see many earthquakes here because the edges of tectonic plates are quite far.
