Lasers, dawg.

It makes sense that they'd be correlated, if a slip-fault moves in one place it'll change the stresses in other places...

Yes, the whole earth is a big interconnected tectonic system. If you move a brick in one place the effects can be felt in the whole wall.

Curious to learn what melting Antarctic ice will do to plate boundaries around it. Isostatic uplift should draw a lot of material with it, potentially stopping or reversing the northward drift of Africa and Australia/India. Wonder if there are any papers modelling it?

One in Venezuela, columbia then Spain in that order huh

Answer seems to be "yes" - melting of the Fenno-scandian ice sheet in the Holoscene drove major changes in volcanism and plate extension in Iceland. Antarctica deglaciating looks set to be an even more dramatic influence.

PH and JP have had several, too. Otherwise I'd have to wonder if Spanish-speakers had offended something :D
