🌍 know? The largest dam in the world is so massive that it can really slow down the "earth's rotation"! 🤯
The Three Gorges Dam of China is not only a great construction, but also holds so much water that scientists estimate that it affects the "rotation and distribution of Earth's gravity"! 🌊🏗️
Why is that? Let's see the amazing facts. 👇
💧 The Great Levels of Water Mass: This dam holds up about 39 trillion kilograms of water, making it one of the largest water power infrastructure projects ever built by man.
⛸️ Scientific principle: Scientists from NASA explain that this large distribution of water mass causes a change in the "moment of inertia" of the earth, as if an ice skater spread his arms while rotating, slowing down the speed of rotation.
⏱️ Don't panic! This effect is very small, slowing down the Earth by a fraction of a microsecond, which is too small for humans like us to feel in everyday life.
⚡ In addition to its remarkable physics, the Santa Auntie Dam generates huge amounts of hydropower, supplies clean power to millions of households, helps control floods, and improves river navigation.
⚠️ But nevertheless, this megaproject also has debates and criticisms in terms of its impact on the environment, changes in ecosystems, underwater sediments, as well as the mass evacuation of people in the area.
This is a good testament to how human engineering has now progressed to a scale large enough to produce planetary effects, even if they are only small. 🌎🛠️
