In the near future, volcanoes across much of Iceland, Alaska, Russia, Chile, & Antarctica will see an increased rate of volcanic eruptions. Meanwhile, the warming planet will also cause the rate of volcanic eruptions to also slightly decrease from shallow submarine volcanoes. Why will this occur? This video will explain why.
