大潮涌入美国东西海岸,淹没街道与住宅
Published
近期,被称为“大潮”的异常高潮淹没了美国东海岸和西海岸沿线的街道、住宅和商店。大潮出现在太阳、月球和地球排成一线时,它们的引力把海水拉升到高于常规的水位。这是一种自然现象,但随着海平面逐年上升,其破坏力正在增强。
在多个沿海社区,积水淹没了道路和人行道,给驾车者和行人出行带来困难。一些居民反映,积水涌入了他们的住宅和底层商铺。当地官员关闭了部分低洼道路,并设置了路障、安装了抽水泵,以减少损失。应急人员还前往经常发生洪涝的地区,查看居民的情况。
科学家表示,海平面上升主要由气候变化以及冰盖和冰川融化所致,这意味着高潮期间的洪涝正变得越来越频繁。许多沿海城市目前正在规划新的排水系统、海堤和其他防护设施。官员建议居民查看潮汐预报,避免驾车穿越积水道路,并为未来几年更频繁的洪涝做好准备。
