Earthquake with a magnitude of 7.8It caused the death of thousands of people in Nepal. Such a strong earthquake also had major consequences for Mount Everest.
on earth Everest, known as the highest peak reduced his height. But how?
After the earthquake, which brought many events in the region besides losses and destruction, many researchers came at the height of the iconic mountain He began to investigate the changes that were taking place. The results are surprising.
from the University of Leeds in England geophysicist John Elliott and other experts have carefully analyzed the changes in the region using satellite data. Their observations showed that the earthquake may have reduced the height of Mount Everest by about 3 cm.
Countries like Nepal and IndiaHe also made several discoveries to make new measurements of the mountain. At the Geospatial World Forum in Hyderabad, India, it is known that researchers from India are making efforts to measure the mountain again.
These efforts Modern technologies such as GPS and triangulation It was also intended to obtain more accurate and up-to-date data on the height of Everest using traditional observation methods.
Especially in the mountains of course can increase annually This makes it more complicated to identify small-scale changes caused by an earthquake.
The results of the study show us that some high mountains have shrunk, while the height of lower mountains closer to the earthquake center has increased. Because Everest is far from the center where the earthquake occurred, this is the height when measuring It is difficult to come to a definitive conclusion as it may be a mistake, but the findings point in this direction.
Possible changes caused by earthquake on the height of Mount Everest It should be emphasized that the exact magnitude of this effect is still a subject of scientific research and debate.
