Climate change could activate dormant volcanoes as melting glaciers reduce pressure on magma chambers, a study stated. "As ice melts, Earth's crust lifts and underground gases expand," scientists said, pointing to past activity beneath ancient Patagonian Ice Sheet. Though not an immediate threat, researchers warn that current rapid glacier melting may increase future eruption risks over centuries.
