Ice Quakes


Ice Quakes


Ok so I was looking up earthquakes and I randomly see this thing on what they called ice quakes. So look farther into it and it turns out that glaciers can have mini quakes! Because of fluctuations in temperature ice can crack and shift quickly, this causes what feels a little bit like a mini earthquake. Although most of these ice quakes are very unnoticeable over a long period of time, some you can feel. I dont know, I thought it was kind of cool.
