The territory that now consists of different continents was the same a few million years ago. The tectonic plates beneath the earth are constantly moving and separating. Recently, recent research has revealed that all these continents merge into a single territory. Research on geological change has revealed many interesting things. Mumbai is the financial capital of the country. Researchers say that in the future, the African country will merge with the territory of Somalia.
Scientists say it's really going to happen if not unbelievably. The study was published in the American Journal of Science. When Earth formed 250 million years ago, there was only one continent called Pangea. For the next 50 million years it formed the two continents of Chile Gondwana and Laurezia. Africa, South America, Australia, Antarctica, India were part of the Gondwana continent. Later rifts formed again in the eastern part of Africa on this continent.
Over time, India became an integral part of the Asian continent of Laura. In the ensuing period seven continents and many nations emerged. However, scientists have found that the continents of all continents are still moving slowly and moving to another place. Against this backdrop, scientists predict that the mountains of East Africa, Madagascar and the Somali capital Mogadishu will merge with Mumbai in western India.
He said the Arabian Sea between the two regions would cease to exist and the city of Mumbai would have no coastline. He said the Mogadishu Mountains would reach the west coast, but it would take 200 million years for that to happen. Mumbai and Mogadishu are expected to become neighborhoods. Also, Kolkata and Mauritius are also reported to be getting closer to each other. Moreover, Sri Lanka, which is currently on the Indian subcontinent, is said to be almost extinct.
This happens due to the earth's rotational character. This makes cyclones move in an anti-clockwise direction in the northern hemisphere.
Normally, Arabian Sea cyclones originate in the east-central or southeast portions. This means the natural tendency of Arabian Sea cyclones is to head towards the Arabian Peninsula. They can hit the protruding landmass of Gujarat - Saurashtra and Kutch.
Mumbai is just not the natural stopover for Arabian Sea cyclones.
There is another factor: steering winds. These are the guiding winds for cyclones. These are the winds that blow above the earth's surface in the mid-layer of atmosphere. In cyclones, these winds make up the upper-layer and steer cyclones in the directions they flow.
Since cyclones don't usually form near coasts -- and hence not in the vicinity of Mumbai -- the steering winds take them away from Indian coastal lines. Most Arabian Sea cyclones, therefore, head towards Oman, Yemen in the northwest, or Somalia in Africa.
There is a third shield for Mumbai. It is called a subtropical ridge and is associated with the southwest monsoon. A subtropical ridge is a large belt of high air pressure. Winds are calm and cool here. Tropical cyclones - like Nisarga -- love turbulence and die in cold. Arebean tropical calm in cold there are beltof high air pressure steering winds take them away from Indian coastal lines. Most Arabian Sea cyclones, therefore
