Actually volcanism occurs much more frequently than one may think, we jus' don' c it 'cause most often, nowadays, it occurs beneath the oceans. Now I agree wit Scourge that we humans r
partly ta blame, but stoppin' carbon emissions now would do little ta slow the events that r takin' place on our planet. And I must ask, has any1 here have ever heard of the Theory of Revolutions and Submergences? Accordin' ta the Theory; Our world goes through periods where the Land rises, the Sea falls, polar Ice caps form, Seasonal weather, and Ice Ages happen (I.e Revolution). The second part of the Theory states that then the Earth goes through periods of when Temperatures rise causin' Polar Ice Caps ta melt, the Sea then rises, the Land then falls, and when the oceans have peaked; the Earth then has a uniformal Temperature (I.e Submergence). Accordin' ta the theory, this cycle has been goin' on for billions of years, long 'fore man's existence, and will continue for as long as the Earth exists, although the Revolution periods have been gettin' longer and longer while the Submergence periods have been gettin' shorter and shorter. We had covered this in my Physical Science class back in collage and my teacher, back then, had said that some scientists believe that the Earth is headin' for another Submergence Period. As evidence, they point ta the last Ice Age that the Earth had; claimin' that the Earth was long overdo for one and that we should've already had one happen. He also said that those same scientists claim that one would need a build up of carbon emissions that would take 100s of millions of years 'fore the Earth could change from a Revolution Period ta a Submergence Period and that we're at the tail end of a Revolution Period. Could it b that we're headin' for a Submergence Period? I think that it's certainly a possbility.
