Any correlation between hurricanes & earthquakes &/or global warming?

[MoonRiver]

I'm wondering about the massive tsunami and now these monster canes. I've never heard about a correlation, but hey, I'm very far from being an expert in this area.

1. The tsunami was due to a plate shift I think, but I would say the

storms are surely feeding off of global warming.

2. Between Hurricanes And Global Warming, Ma'am

There may well be a connection.

There is no relation between seismic activity and atmospheric temperature.

3. Not really.

The interaction between climate and geology is an interesting and relatively new field of study, but certainly climate change such as we are experiencing now has no effect on the machinations of plate tectonics, which will go on regardless. As to whether or not global warming will alter severe weather patterns, it is almost a sure thing. However, it is impossible to say whether global warming is directly implicated in any particular event. Over a long enough period, we may be able to understand how global warming impacts severe tropical weather, but at this point we simply don't have enough historical context to say whether the current pattern of intense storms is unusual, or part of a longer cyclic patter that we do not understand at this point. No matter, global warming will likely increase the frequency of events like Katrina and Rita in the future, and may also take these storms to places that are normally thought to be immune from them.

4. I don't thinks so with earthquakes but people do debate it re Hurricanes

and the warming of the water and its rising. There are experts who say it is cyclical and doesn't have anything to do with global warming but it is a debate. Earthquakes? No.
