According to current geological theory, the melting of ice at the end of the Ice Age significantly reduced the weight pressing on parts of the earth' s crust  As a result, lasting cracks in the earth' s crust appeared in some of those parts under the stress of pressure from below  At the end of the Ice Age Sweden was racked by severe earthquakes
Ttherefore, it is likely that the melting of the ice contributed to these earthquakes
Evidence of severe earthquakes around the time of the end of the Ice Age can be found in parts of northern Canada.
