>>melting ice CAPS take pressure off the poles<< The Arctic polar ice all floats on the sea, so there is no change in pressure when it melts. Melting of the main Antarctic ice sheets (which rest on land) would cause isostatic rebound and I suppose theoretically might trigger earthquakes. But so far there has been no significant melting of the Antarctic ice sheets. However some of the floating Antarctic ice shelves have receded, but this would not cause a change in pressure. The recent Sumatra quake is just another example of Earth's ongoing plate tectonics process, which has been active for billions of years.
