Moon’s wobble blamed for killing tens of millions of trees on Earth in new scientific discovery
THE Moon destroyed a forest on Earth just by wobbling, according to a new study.
The theory solves a mystery from 2015 which involved tens of millions of mangrove trees dying in Australia.The dead trees had made up almost 10% of the forest along northern Australia’s Gulf of Carpentaria.El Niño refers to a weather phase, which sees the ocean's surface water in the equatorial Pacific get much warmer than usual.
A strong El Niño can lower tides around the region where the trees died and so the suspicious event was originally blamed on this. However, a new study has found that the Moon wobbled around the time of the mass mangrove death and also affected the tides.The research has been published in the journalWe know the Moon's gravitational pull impacts tidal forces on Earth.
