A very heavy rainstorm that lasted for 1 million years 200 million years ago, even the overlord of the earth at that time could not survive, and if the earth we live on now has a year of continuous heavy precipitation, will humanity shuffle the cards? Why do scientists predict that continuous rainfall is not far from human? ---- primer
Hello everyone, I'm Ye Feng. The reason why there are living things on the earth is inseparable from the abundant water resources, but everything is a double-edged sword, water is no exception, normal water volume can nourish all things, but too little water will cause drought, and too much water will cause flooding. The most typical is the heavy rainstorm in The Henan region of China this year, just a few days of rain, caused huge property losses. But have you ever wondered what would happen if there was a year of continuous rain on Earth? Before talking about this problem, Ye Feng first wants to talk to you about a more incredible topic, more than 200 million years ago, there was a rain on the earth that fell for millions of years, you heard it right, it is a 1, followed by 6 zeros, millions of years. So what are the consequences of this torrential rain?
This heavy rainstorm 200 million years ago is known as the Carney Flood Event. This is a period of biological evolution that paleontologists recognize. During this period, there was a heavy rainstorm of great rainfall and astonishing duration, which scientists deduced should have been raining for millions of years. Before this period, dinosaurs only lived in the marginal zone to be small and transparent, but after this heavy rainstorm, the previous Earth Overlord Bow Beasts were extinct, and dinosaurs succeeded as the new Earth Overlord. After a million years, heavy precipitation decreased, the light transmittance in the atmosphere increased a lot, the sunlight hit the surface, the temperature of the surface began to rise again, and a large number of plants grew very densely with the increase in temperature, providing favorable conditions and food basis for the emergence and reproduction of later organisms.
From this history of the earth, it is not difficult to see that water can really carry both boats and overturn boats, and the stakes are equal. In fact, not only reality, but also the mythical stories about floods. Looking through the data, it is not difficult to find that in most of the world's civilizations, there are records of floods and torrential rains. The biblical account of Noah's Ark is certainly familiar to everyone. According to legend, in the era of prehistoric gods, human beings because of stealing the secrets of many gods such as fire, arithmetic, etc., caused the gods to be angry, and decided to punish humans with a flood, but the gods also considered punishment, but could not completely destroy human beings, compared to many human beings with integrity, after careful consideration, the gods finally found a young man named Noah, let Noah build a big ship, and put the creatures on the earth on the ship according to the number of males and females.
After Noah got the task, it didn't matter if it was true or not, anyway, it was built for 2 years, a huge ship was finally built, and at this time, the sky was suddenly cloudy, and the pouring rain came randomly, for more than 40 days, and when the weather was clear, the flood faded, and Noah landed again. Myths record that when the sea level rose, the earth was a vast ocean, and even the world's tallest mountain was submerged more than ten meters under the water. Later, some experts made an argument, according to the current point of view, the world's first peak is Mount Everest, the altitude is about eight thousand meters above sea level, if this myth becomes a reality, then the flood at that time is more than 10 meters higher than Mount Everest, it can be basically concluded that the creatures on land are almost submerged. But the most amazing thing is that geologists have actually found shell-like seabed creatures on Mount Everest, which makes myth and reality largely indistinguishable.
In addition to the Bible, both the Mayan civilization and the ancient Greek civilization have descriptions of the extermination of the Flood. To date, the most widely circulated legend should be counted, the disappearance of the Atlantean civilization. Myths record that Atlantis is a high civilization of mankind, some prehistoric civilization researchers analyze, Atlantean civilization seems to have surpassed our current technology, they have a very strong army and a lot of wealth, even the Egyptian pyramids, British Stonehenge are built by the Atlanteans. But because of this, the Atlanteans gradually developed a barbaric growth of the moral dimension. Greed and selfishness eventually angered the gods, who had to send down a great flood to destroy them all.
Of course, these are only 2 examples of the Great Flood, and such as China's Dayu Zhishui, Jingwei Reclamation, and even the Sumerian King's Watch are all stories describing the Great Flood period! It is so invariably recorded that it is difficult to distinguish whether this is real history or not! Having said all this, it may be a bit off-topic, but it has to be said that in the face of the Great Flood, both myth and reality are difficult to resist. And in recent years, with the change of climate, many meteorologists have predicted that there is likely to be a sustained rainfall on the earth in the future, and even NASA in the United States predicts that this time is likely to be in 2030. Now no matter when the rain comes, the leaf wind opens a brain hole, if the earth continues to rain for a year, what will happen to the world? How much impact will our lives have?
Continuous precipitation
In order to make us more intuitively aware of the impact of continuous heavy rain on us, the relevant personnel deliberately analyzed this precipitation situation in segments. According to the length of time, the entire precipitation is divided into three stages, initial, medium and severe disasters. The first phase, also known as the initial rainfall, lasts for three months. The impact on organisms at this stage is still relatively small. After a week of continuous rain, human beings do not feel this change very much, and such precipitation basically has a great impact on human production and life. But the impact on individual organisms is really not small. For example, many cave dwellers will have to choose a new place of residence because of rising groundwater levels and rising surface water levels. In this way, the continuous week of precipitation is only the beginning of a disaster. If the precipitation lasts for a month, many problems begin to gradually appear. Such disasters are already clearly perceived. Low-lying areas begin to accumulate water and even be submerged, sea levels rise in coastal areas, and floods will follow.
This kind of long-term precipitation is a disaster for our power system, if the precipitation is small, it is better to say, if the precipitation is large, the power system will be in a state of collapse, and the short-circuit fire will break out. If it rains continuously for a month or two months, it is a real demon coming. Data show that if the Earth's surface encounters two consecutive months of heavy precipitation, the transportation system will be forced to stop functioning, and most parts of the world are likely to face flooding. What humanity is likely to face is the problem of livelihood. And that's just the first stage. Let's take a look at the impact of the medium-term phase.
The time of the middle stage is also divided into three stages, one period every three months, divided into three, six, nine months, three stages. Next, let's look at 3 months of continuous precipitation, this stage where all the creatures in the low-lying areas will face relocation, and the buildings in the low-lying areas should all be submerged underwater, or they will have been washed away by the water. At this time, the biological chain is already very fragile, and if a species accidentally goes extinct, it will cause a series of food chain chain reactions. This stage has been identified by relevant researchers as an important node for the biological chain to begin to break. The next stage after three months of this node is six months of continuous precipitation, which can be said to be the fuse stage of the entire biological chain breaking.
Due to the rise of sea level, coastal areas will be completely submerged, tsunamis and other natural disasters will appear more frequently, continuous long-term precipitation, surface animals and plants receive less sunlight, so photosynthesis is relatively small, a large number of plants will die, herbivores will decrease with the decrease of plants, followed by a chain reaction, carnivorous animals decrease, crop yield reduction, human beings will face the problem of feeding. If the precipitation continues for another three months, when the precipitation is nine months in a row, all kinds of infectious diseases, bacteria, etc. will erupt, and human beings will face the dual pressure of the environment and diseases. At this time, the unnatural death becomes more obvious.
The above is only the middle stage of the continuous precipitation year, although the harm is gradually deepening, but it has not yet reached the point of being out of control. By 12 months of continuous precipitation, that's the real devastation. For a year of continuous precipitation, human beings will enter a desperate situation, food will be reduced, infectious diseases will be invincible, almost all modern equipment will not be able to operate, human beings will face endless darkness and the weak and the strong, at that time, human beings may really carry out a big reshuffle. From the above explanation, it is not difficult to see that continuous precipitation is indeed far-reaching for human beings, and it will bring disaster to human beings if it is not good. Now the phenomenon of strong water has begun to appear in the world, and the main reason is because of the industrial production and life of human beings. In order not to let this heavy precipitation pose a threat to the lives of our children and grandchildren, Ye Feng feels that we should change our production and lifestyle, love the environment, reduce carbon emissions, and cool the earth from now on.
Well, this is the case with this article, do you think Ye Feng's point of view is correct? What would happen if it rained continuously on Earth for a year? Welcome to leave a message for Ye Feng, of course, don't forget to give Ye Feng a thumbs up and attention.
