NASA: The moon is shrinking

Earth's moon has rare geological activity and occasionally, both on Earth and other planets, earthquakes occur, and due to internal cooling over the past several hundred years, this heavenly body has been reduced by 50 meters and is still tetonic, NASA scientists say.

The moon's “Ruture” according to scientists is happening because of its fragility.

These phenomena occur when the robe leaves one section above another, creating unusual walls that can be seen on the surface.

Previously, it is known that four types of earthquakes occur in months of the first three species are associated with deep earthquakes caused by meteor crashes or the heat of the sun, and they are relatively weak, whereas the fourth is the so - called shallow “ ” that can reach up to 5.5 degrees in Richter.

“We have found that this activity is still present and that it causes earthquakes even today, when the moon is gradually colder and in reduction”, said Thomas Waters, a senior scientist at the Center for Earth and Planetary Studies in Smithsonian near Washington, broadcast Kosovas.

Scientists claim that earthquakes and “the resolution of this heavenly body continues down to this day and the images of the rocks on the surface indicate the latest tectonic activities.

NASA says earthquakes occur when the moon is at its most distant point since Earth's gravity damages its surface.
