Rapid erosion from the Mississippi River at the end of the last ice age reduced forces that had kept the New Madrid fault from slipping and triggered the temblors.

最后一个冰河时代末期密西西比河的急剧侵蚀减弱了保持新马德里断层稳定的防滑力，从而引发地震。

Scientists found that coastal erosion caused by retreating sea ice is damaging remains in an Inuit village in Alaska, including a fourth-century coastal cemetery.

科学家们还发现，受到侵蚀的海岸线已经威胁到了生活在阿拉斯加的因纽特人村庄，其中还有年久的沿海墓地遗迹。

Increased evaporation from the exposed sea should also mean more snowfall to compensate for the ice cap's losses (though together with rapid erosion at the margins this could increase the gradient of the ice cap, making it less stable.) But this is small consolation for another big fear: rapid thawing of the Arctic permafrost.
