expansion
The increasing temperature of the earth is gradually showing its effects. Due to the rise in mercury, the glaciers are melting rapidly, due to which the sea level is rising rapidly. Its effect in the near future will be that the cities lying on the seashore will begin to sink, which will indeed be a very frightening scene. The effects of climate change have also begun to show in areas such as Antarctica and Greenland, where 30 million tons of ice are melting every day. But the concern is not limited to that. Recently, research has revealed that due to climate change and gravity, the Earth’s rotation speed is seriously affected. So much ice is now melting at the North Pole and the South Pole, which has caused an unexpected rise in sea level, which is now affecting the Earth’s rotation. Its effect will not only be on our environment, but it will also affect our clock, which will be so fatal that GPS navigation systems and satellites around the world will start giving wrong information.
The water reached the Earth’s equator
The famous geologist of the country, Dr. SP Sati, tells Amar Ojala that this is a very shocking study. Global warming has now started to affect the earth. The fact that the glaciers are melting rapidly is constantly awakening. He explains that the mass of the earth is increasing due to the melting of the glaciers in Greenland and Antarctica . Explaining in very simple terms, he says that our earth rotates like a top and there is a weight on its head, while when the weight reaches the bottom, there will be a difference in its speed. Something similar happened with the earth and its speed slowed down. The melted water of the glaciers reached the equator (core) of the Earth, due to which its angular velocity was changed.
Time calculation will be affected
According to Dr. SP Sati, the slowing down of the earth’s rotation speed will have a wide impact. Its first impact will be on our time calculation. Although it is fully computerized, a correction of seconds has to be made in the atomic clock due to a difference in the earth’s speed. Although it may to be up to the millionth. This is called a leap second. Earlier this correction was supposed to be done in 2026, but now it has been proposed to be done in 2029. If this does not happen then there may be problems in large scale calculations.
