Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 05:50:52 GMT

El área de DC necesita más lluvia.Los bajos niveles de agua en el río Potomac, el principal suministro de agua potable del área, desencadenaron el lunes un monitoreo diario de la sequía en la zona, según la Comisión Interestatal sobre la Cuenca del Río Potomac (ICPRB, en inglés).“Hemos comenzado un monitoreo activo de la sequía debido al bajo caudal del río”, tuiteó @PotomacCommis. “Enviaremos informes diarios a los socios con datos de flujo, tiempo y uso del agua”.El flujo de la corriente se mide con un medidor del Servicio Geológico de EEUUU en Point of Rocks, Maryland. Según el informe de monitoreo del lunes, el flujo del río cayó 2,000 pies cúbicos por segundo (cfs) por debajo del umbral de las Operaciones Cooperativas de Abastecimiento de Agua en el Potomac.La ICPRB indicó que hay una posibilidad mayor de lo normal de que el agua tenga que ser liberada en el Potomac desde los embalses aguas arriba a finales de este año.

El secreto que guarda en sus entrañas la falla de San Andrés

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 05:50:52 GMT

Un lago salado en el sur de California podría explicar las razones por las cuales la falla de San Andrés en California ha estado “quieta” y no se ha producido aún el terremoto conocido como “Big One”.Según se reporta en una investigación en la prestigiosa revista Nature, la falla de San Andrés es una de las más grandes del mundo con 800 millas de extensión y separa las placas de Norteamérica de la placa del Pacífico.Uno de los sectores de la falla, el meridional, ubicado entre el lago Salton Sea y la ciudad de Parkfield, lleva más de 300 años sin movimientos sísmicos, lo que ha generado preocupación entre los científicos ya que si existe energía acumulada durante todos esos años, puede ocurrir una catástrofe cuando sea liberada, y afectaría grandes zonas urbanas, como Los Ángeles. Estudio: hay mayor riesgo de que venga un fuerte terremoto en la Falla de San Andrés Informe: miles de edificios en San Francisco podrían derrumbarse durante un gra...
