According to the modeling study by the University of Hawaii and NASA, in the 2030s, the Moon will come closer to the Earth, and this approach will lead to more severe flooding with global warming.
The joint work of the University of Hawaii and NASA revealed the possible disasters in the coming years.
According to the modeling, the Moon will come closer to the Earth in the 2030s.
Ice melting is accelerating due to global warming. Therefore, sea levels are rising.
NASA has warned of flooding disasters as the Moon approaches Earth.
THE MOON WILL COME TO THE NEAREST POSITION IN THE 2030S
Due to the volatility in its orbit, the Moon approaches the Earth at certain times. Scientists predict that the Moon will come to its closest position in the 2030s. The rising water level with global warming increases the risk of flooding. NASA has warned that there will be more and more severe flooding in the future.
FLOODS ARE EXPECTED TO TRIPLE
This orbital change of the Moon takes 18.6 years, until now it did not pose a great danger.
In the first half of this 18.6-year period, the tidal waves are more ineffective than usual, but things change in the second half. The fact that the water goes to the shores is seen harder than normal.
More than 600 floods were detected in the US alone in 2019. Scientists expect this number to increase by at least three to four times.
