The Dhaka Times Desk The adverse effects of weather conditions around the world are making people displaced day by day. In this, another fear has arisen again. A terrible flood is being feared in the world. This fear is based on the information that the moon will change its place after 9 years.
Climate change is happening all over the world. The number and intensity of cyclones has increased. America has faced several hurricanes recently. Sea level rise and high tides are associated with the moon. Scientists say that if the moon changes its position, there will be a terrible flood all over the world.
Floods caused by high tides are called nuisance floods. At such times, ocean waves rise 2 feet above their average height. Due to which water started entering the cities around the sea. Just as Mumbai gets worse during the monsoons. Because of that, the situation became completely chaotic.
According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, high tides caused flooding in the U.S. 600 times in 2019. However, according to a new study by NASA, Nuisance floods will occur in many parts of the world, including the United States, by 2030. Because of this the height of the waves during high tide will be about 3 to 4 times higher.
The NASA study was published last month in Nature Climate Change. But NASA has now warned that the nuisance flood will multiply by 2030. This flood will not come once or twice a year, but every month.
The reason given is that whenever there is a slight change in the moon's orbit this flood will become more harmful. In coastal areas, these floods occur two to three times per month. As the position of the moon changes, nuisance floods in the coastal areas will become dangerous for the people living there. To avoid this, governments around the world must plan.
University of Hawaii assistant professor Phil Thompson said in a statement that this will happen because of long-term climate change. Due to which many problems will be created in the new world. Phil Thompson also said, if this kind of flood happens 10-15 times a month, then people's work will be completely stopped. People's incomes will be disrupted; There will be no jobs.
Mosquito-borne diseases will also increase due to stagnant water. The Moon will increase the amount and duration of flooding in Earth's coastal areas. Ice and glaciers are melting around the world due to global warming. Because of that the sea level will rise rapidly. According to data provided by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, sea levels have risen 8 to 9 inches since 1880. A third of these elevations have increased in the last 25 years.
According to experts, sea levels could rise by 12 inches to 8.2 feet by 2100. To prevent this, greenhouse gas emissions must be reduced. But it will take decades to complete this task, which is not an easy task.
According to a new study by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the moon has always influenced ocean waves. Both the pull and pressure of the moon are balanced year after year. If the Moon were to change its orbital position even slightly, it would no doubt flood many coastal areas of Earth. Because the moon changes its position very little in 18.6 years. And during this period half of the time the Moon suppresses the Earth's waves. But after half a cycle the moon makes the waves more intense. Also increases their height, which is really dangerous.
NASA reports that half of the Moon's 18.6-year full cycle is already about to begin, which will further accelerate Earth's tides. This is expected to happen in 2030. By then the global sea level will rise significantly. Because of that, the problem of nuisance flooding will arise in many countries of the world. America will have even more problems. Because there are many tourist spots in the coastal area.
Meanwhile, NASA said, climate cycle events like El Nino will also lead to flooding. Ben Hamlington, a scientist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, said that all of these events happen every month. It may also happen that there is so much flooding in one part of the year that the problem persists throughout the year. Scientists have warned people with all this information. Source: Live Science
Things to do to prevent Corona virus
# stay at home all the time.
# Follow the rules and use mask when going out for emergency.
# three-layer surgical mask can be washed if desired.
# wash clothes after coming home from outside. Or hang it without shaking for at least four hours.
# Wash hands thoroughly (for at least 20 seconds) with soap or liquid before coming outside.
# plastic PPE or eyes, face, head must be washed thoroughly with detergent and dried after one use.
# Wear PPE made of cloth or clean as described.
# Use a head cap that completely covers the hair.
# Those who have sneeze cough should follow all the rules promulgated by the government. Also, wash hands as directed before and after handling food items, keys, switches, mice, remote controls, mobiles, watches, computer desks, TVs, etc. and after using the bathroom. Those who have dry hands use Moisture after washing their hands. Soap or hand liquid can be used. Why can this virus remain in the crackle (cracked part) of dry hands? Avoid using highly alkaline soaps or detergents.
