Het is gewoon weer de schuld van die Chinezen.
quote:
China's Three Gorges Dam is over 590 feet high (180m) and 7,770 feet long (2,330m).
It's the largest hydroelectric dam in the world, and has had a measurable impact on Earth's rotation due to the massive amount of water it displaces.
It creates a reservoir with a surface area of a staggering 400 square miles (1,045 square kilometers), and the reservoir extends upstream from the dam about 370 miles (600 kilometers).
By holding back more than 39 trillion kilograms (86 trillion pounds) of water in its reservoir, the dam shifts a significant amount of mass on Earth.
The Three Gorges Dam's influence on Earth's rotation is similar to the effects of large earthquakes or glacial melting, which also redistribute mass across the planet. However, while these natural events occur sporadically, the dam represents a constant and ongoing mass shift.
