On April 25, what has undoubtedly been the worst natural disaster in Nepal since 1934, has had a direct effect on the shape of the Earth. According to research by NASA's Earth Observatory, the earthquake measuring 7.9 degrees on the Richter scale has caused a fault located at the edges of the tectonic plates of India and Eurasia and 90x30 kilometers long, to have slipped up to six meters from its starting position.
A software developed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), in Pasadena, California (USA) has discovered that the earthquake of magnitude 7.9 on the Richter scale that surprised and devastated Nepal on 25 April created waves of energy that penetrated the Earth's upper atmosphere, disrupting the distribution of electrons in the ionosphere or thermosphere, the area of the Earth's atmosphere permanently ionized due to photoionization of solar radiation.
The earthquake that has devastated Nepal and left thousands dead moved the earth below Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal, up to several meters south of the area. Has this affected the height of Mount Everest? A team of experts from the University of Cambridge (United Kingdom) have explained that no; the height of Mount Everest remains the same, it has been maintained.
Nepal was surprised this past Saturday, April 25, with a great earthquake that today has a balance of more than 4,000 deaths. The earthquake, with a scale of 7.9 degrees on the Richter scale, would be the equivalent of the explosion of 32,000 atomic bombs on the same area.
When two major earthquakes struck the Indian Ocean and the Indonesian island of Sumatra last April, a tectonic gap was set in motion within the Indo-Australian plate. Two investigations published in the journal Nature reveal that the earthquakes were 40% more intense than previously thought and analyze their consequences.
In theory, national governments should be responsible for monitoring tsunamis, cyclones and earthquakes and for alerts related to natural disasters. But the truth is that in recent years social media seems to be taking over, as just published by the International Development Research Center IDCR of Canada.
