125,000 billion tons of rainwater from super typhoon Harvey curved the Earth's crust

Super hurricane Harvey poured out 125,000 billion tons of rainwater, causing the Earth's crust in Texas, USA, to buck down two centimeters.

Super Harvey happened in late August last year in the US is one of the most devastating natural disasters in the country's history. Due to unusual dampness and particularly slow movement, the storm poured a total of 125,000 billion liters of rainwater into the United States, mainly in Texas.

From the data obtained through satellite navigation (GPS) along Houston, Chris Milliner, a geological scientist at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) of the US Aerospace Agency (NASA) has taken The map shows the city subsided a bit when it caught all the rain from super typhoon Harvey.

125,000 billion liters of rainwater has caused the Earth's crust to be dimmed to about two centimeters in a few days. This surprised many people by bending the Earth's crust, not easily.

It is estimated that rainfall from super typhoon Harvey weighs up to 125,000 billion tons, equal to the volume of 155,342 Golden Gate bridges or equivalent to 77% of the estimated total weight of Mount Everest.

Currently, people are waiting for the ground to tighten and move in the direction of emergence when the water recedes to prove Milliner's hypothesis.
