@annakilifa3315 жыл бұрын
As far as I know the tectonic plate that the African border of the Gibraltar passage belongs to is currently moving north. At a rate of about 1 cm per year (roughly). So while that would close the passage again, it would be far too late for Venice, which is on its way to sink far, far earlier than that.
@karellen005 жыл бұрын
As a venetian I admit that it would be cool if it would happen, but it would be hugely overkill! It would be far easier to seal the entrances to the venetian lagoon, with dams or even dumping sand/clay. The current project (that should be completed soon) adds two layers of complexity: the first is that it can open and close the lagoon so that it won't become a salty swamp and to preserve the local ecosystem, the second is that they wanted it to be invisible when inactive. It would have been far easier, cheaper and faster to build movable dams like the ones they have in Holland, but it was decided that it would be too visually impacting. We have instead a set of boxes hinged to the ground under the water at the harbor mouth, that will be filled with air to rise them and block the water.

@@ConstantChaos1 It should be completed by 2021 but the "hardware" part is already done, they even tested it and it seemed to be working (they used one compressor for all the boxes instead of like 10 of the ended project). What needs to be done should be just compressors, actuators and electronics. Anyway there is a big unknown that is maintenance: we don't know how long the hinges will work (they already had problems in the past when small scale tests were done, but I think they made a new beefier design) especially if there's an abnormally strong wind like the one we had in November. Also we have yet to see if the space between the boxes and the see floor will stay clean, there are high pressure water nozzles for this task, but we'll have to see if they work in the real word against mussels that may block the boxes.

Being born and raised in Calabria Italy, until her early 40's before migrating (legally) to the U.S., Calabria was a short ferry ride to Sicily...she would tell us stories of women going Sicily to smuggle salt placed in pockets in their undergarments which was illegal to purchase in order to bring back to the mainland. She had said that the salt from Sicily was far much better quality than the salt they were able to purchase in Calabria and smuggling it out of Sicily was a common practice among the Calabrese.

It would have been nice to also mention how the sand and silt blown out of the dry Mediterranean abyss covered north Africa's mountains and valleys to create the Sahara. What I recall from National Geographic about sixty years ago was that this closure and dry-out occurred seven times over the geologic record. And I just realized that our area of Texas, south of the Buried Ouachita mountains, has been under the sea seven times, per the geological record between the surface and the metamorphic basement. Some believe the apparent basement (metamorphic rock) is actually overthrusted by tectonic plate movements on top of even older sediments (the Buried Ouachita mountains once stood high like the Appalachians) which could be rich in gas and oil.
@billwilson36092 жыл бұрын
One can see how the Ouachita Range snaked across Texas into Oklahoma then Arkansas by looking at a map showing where oil and gas wells have been drilled since those are east and west of the range. Geologists say that the Ouachita Range were once connected to the first Appalachian Range that still has sections visible in Scotland and in Russia as the Ural Mountains.

Several years ago I saw a documentary which brought up the MSC, and the picture it painted was kind of horrifying yet fascinating. In it they speculated that at some point almost all the water in the basin evaporated, leaving the whole area completely inhospitable to life. The air pressure would have been higher than at sea level (given that it was now just a huge hole in the ground) and the temperature in the basin would have been high enough to boiled away the water that fell into the basin from the connecting rivers. Just imagine such a thing at such a scale existing in the world today. Anyway, this was several years ago and the data they based it on might not add up to what we have available to day so some of those speculations might not hold up.
