The mystery of the Titanic sink -all the calamities caused by the moon?

Seeing this title, the little friends must be curious. When will the moon become a specialized back pot?

Miss hometown and loved ones is because the moon is too round at this moment (the song "The Moon of the Fifteenth Fifteen"); after falling in love, I reflect on why I fell in love with this person at the time because the moon was too beautiful at that time (the song "The Moon's Moon"); Seven friends who have been in many years, if they are not coming to see the lunar eclipse, there will be no crisis of emotional trust (the movie "Perfect Strangers") ...

Titanic shipwreck, what did the moon do?

The grievances of the moon are not displayed first.

On April 23, 2020, the "Snow Dragon" and "Snow Dragon 2" scientific test ships successfully returned to the Shanghai Base Pier. The ship is on the shore, marking the successful completion of my country's 36th Antarctic Investigation and the first "Twin Dragon 'Explore".

It is understood that in order to protect the escort of the first "Twin Dragons' Explore", the National Satellite Ocean Application Center of the Ministry of Natural Resources has set up an emergency work group of Antarctic Sailing Ice Surveillance Information Surveillance Information to ensure the advantages of its own remote sensing technology. 'Exploring pole ".

The emergency working group used the data of the "Snow Dragon" shipwreck and Plez Bay and the Dimon Diwell Sea to obtain and produce the data of satellite No. 1, Ocean No. 2, and High Score III independently developed in my country to obtain and produce Sea Bing Live Information Special Map and Statistical Analysis Products of History. During the inspection, the satellite center issued a total of 17 emergency protection information services, providing important information support for the "Snow Dragon" shipbuilding area and operational safety.

The reason why satellites require satellite to escort the navigation of the science ships because the sea ice and even icebergs and sea fog formed by water are extremely dangerous for sea navigation and sea transportation.

In fact, in the polar region of the northern hemisphere, the sea ice has hindered the safety of the route most of the year. The sea ice driven by wind and sea flow restricts people's polar research on the north and south poles. Although radar navigation can also be used in the case of fog, the poor visibility is still very dangerous for the size of the exchanges.

At around 23:40 on April 14, 1912, at that time, the largest passenger ship in the world and the most luxurious internal facilities collided with an iceberg, causing the inside -side ship to break into the middle of the ship. Essence At about 2:20 am on April 15th, the hull of Titanic was broken into two sections and sank into the Atlantic 3,700 meters. Of the 2224 crew members and passengers, 1517 were killed, of which only 333 victims were recovered.

The Titanic sinking accident was the most severe norceous and wounded maritime in the peace period. Its wreckage was not discovered again until 1985. It is currently protected by the United Nations Education, Science and Cultural Organization.

One century after the Titanic marine, in 2012, scientists in Texas, the United States, subverted people's previous cognition and pointed out the "culprit" that caused the disaster -the moon.

Is this pot, the moon is not back?

In fact, everyone who knows a little about history or has watched the movie "The Titanic" knows that the culprit of this accident should be a huge sea iceberg. Is it unreliable for American experts?

The actual situation is that the words of the experts point out that it is the accomplice that leads to maritime. The real culprit is indeed worthy of our good investigation: how exactly is the iceberg? Where does it come from? Where to go?

The newly published book of "Knowing the Ocean" provides us with very systematic and authoritative answers to the origin of the iceberg. Among them, the section of "Sea Ice and Sea Mist" pumped the cocoon and talked about it to introduce the production process of sea ice, icebergs, and sea fog in detail. After reading it carefully, the mystery of sinking after Titanic was completely revealed.

At any latitude of the earth, as long as the altitude is high to the freezing point (0 ° C) with the average temperature below water, the ice will exist throughout the year. This altitude has changed a lot, and the sea level of the polar region can be frozen, and in the equatorial area, it needs to be about 5000m of altitude to freeze. For example, the Mount Kilimaro near African equator has glaciers and snow on the top of the mountain.

On land, ice and snow are the result of low -temperature precipitation. In the ocean or lake, because it is a natural reservoir, precipitation is not necessary. When the air and temperature are lower than the freezing point of water, it will form ice.

When the seawater starts frozen, the water becomes turbid, and the ice crystals are generated at the same time; as the number of ice crystals increases, a thin layer of snow mud is formed; The cake "moves around and fuses to form ice -floating; ice floats collide with each other with wind and sea flow, forming ice ridges, ice hills or low icebergs. Some ice floats are constantly moving with wind and water, crushing or freezing each other, and others are solid on the mainland. These fixed ice ice becomes a fixed ice (FAST ICE). Continue to freeze, the thickness of the ice increases. The snow and water on the ice will also freeze, increasing the ice -floating quality.

The marine sailing near the polar place is more of the sea ice. For example, at the beginning of the article, satellite data uses satellite data to make the "Snow Dragon" ship to make a special picture of sea ice live information.

The salt dissolved in the seawater does not enter the ice crystal structure, but is discharged into the surface seawater. These seawater with very low temperature and high salt content will sink and be replaced by low -salinous seawater, and these low -salinous seawater will be cooled to the freezing point. After the formation of sea ice, some brine was trapped in the gap between the sea ice. If the sea ice forms slowly, most brine will escape; if the sea ice is quickly formed when it is lower than the freezing point, more brine will be trapped in the ice gap. With the passage of time and the age of sea ice, brine slowly discharged through the sea ice, and the salinity of the sea ice finally became low enough. After melting, you can drink it. To put it simply, sea ice is actually light. During a cold season, the surface of the polar waters can form about 2m thick ice. The cooling below the ice layer cools down the new sea ice under the ice layer, and the heat is released through the ice layer. This process limits the thickness of the sea ice. When the seawater below the ice is iced, the mellow and the potential heat must be released. These heat can only be released through the thermal conductivity of ice. At a polar temperature, this is a slow process itself. The snow on the surface of the ice plays the role of the insulator, making this heat heat process slower.

In the northeast of the United States, Canada, Russia, Scandinavia, and some bays and coasts in Alaska in the United States, the sea ice seasons exist; in the central area of ​​the Arctic and Antarctica, sea ice exists throughout the year. In the northern hemisphere winter, the sea ice covers the entire Arctic Ocean; in winter in the southern hemisphere, the sea ice is revolved around Antarctica and promoted to the sea. Waves, sea flow, wind and tide break the edges of the ice, the ice collisions collide, and accumulate into irregular ice stacks to form ice ridges. The ice ridges are formed on the edge of the ice collision, with a thickness of about 10m. Sea Ice melts along the surface edge in summer. In the area where ice is completely melted at all in the year, new ice will be formed in winter, and the thickness can accumulate 3 ~ 5m.

It should be noted that sea ice and iceberg are not a family. Sea Ice is the product of the sea water. It should not confuse sea ice with freshwater glaciers covering Greenland and the Antarctic continent. When land glaciers fell into the sea, these floating freshwater glaciers were called icebergs.

The iceberg is huge and irregular, and the parts that float on the sea only account for 12%of the total quality. As the saying goes, the corner of the iceberg stems from this.

The iceberg is formed by the ice of the glacier or the river. These big river began in the inland, including the central Greenland Island, Antarctica and Alaska, and slowly flowing along the river to the ocean. Glacier moves forward. When encountering the ocean, due to the melting of the bottom and waves and tide movements, the ice cubes are broken and floating on the sea. The formation of the iceberg is called ice cracks, mainly in summer.

The Arctic Iceberg drifts south with the sea and can drift to the busy routes in New England and the busy routes of the North Atlantic Ocean.

In 1912, Titanic's first flight sank because of hitting the iceberg. The iceberg is most likely formed on Greenland. After the glacier breaks there, it floats south as the sea flows south. However, for this extremely huge iceberg, if there is no huge force, it is impossible to come to the Titanic route not far away.

The culprit appeared, and the accomplice was also desperate under the research of scientists -it was the legendary gentle moon that gave the current power blessing.

The scientist of Texas, the scientist of Texas State University, said at the beginning of the article, said: "The moon may explain the cause of this abnormally huge iceberg that appears on the Titanic route."

It is reported that the Captain Titanic was the prestigious Edward Smith at that time. Captain Smith has completed the navigation mission in North Atlantic many times. Smith's rich experience and caution are why he was selected as the Titanic Virgin Captain. Therefore, the researchers were puzzled by the practice of Smith regardless of the warning of the iceberg.

(Titanic Captain Edward Smith)

Olson pointed out that usually, large icebergs will be stranded in the shallow waters of Labrador and Newfoundland, unless they melt to a certain extent to a certain extent, or are flushed along the waves or was flushed away by huge waves, they cannot float south. So, how did such a large iceberg float so far south, and arrived on the Titanic route south of Newfoundland on the night of the incident?

Olson's research team studied the speculation of the late marine scholar Figs Wood, and pointed out that there was a rare encounter on January 4, 1912. On the same day, the moon and the sun were special, which led to them, which led to them. Gravity increases. At the same time, in January of that year, the distance between the moon and the earth was the most recently in the past 1400, and the attractiveness between them was increased. "This situation causes the moon to maximize the force of the earth's tide." The ocean tide increased abnormally, leaving more large icebergs from Greenland and floating south to the North Atlantic. Among them, there is the one who hit Titanic. Essence

The discovery of the research team defended Captain Smith's decision to ignore the iceberg warning. Olson believes that at the time, Captain Smith did not estimate that the iceberg he was facing had such a huge volume.

Therefore, the culprit that leads to the sinking of Titanic is the huge iceberg. The moon just casts a little force, but because of the angle of the moon and the sun. It is very innocent.

After the famous shipwreck accident, the United States began to inspect the iceberg and warn the position of the iceberg to the ship. This work has continued to this day, and satellite monitoring is currently added.

In contrast, the icebergs in Antarctica and the icebergs of Alaska are "gentle".Although the icebergs in Antarctica can be drifted to 40 ° ~ 50 ° south (southern Australia, New Zealand), they are mainly controlled by winding pole flow and usually float near the mainland.The icebergs in Alaska usually drift to narrow waterways and semi -closed bays, and do not often drift to open waters.Compared with the iceberg that is harmful to the sea, Alaska iceberg is more as a landscape. The Glacier Bay and Prince William Bay are the destinations to watch the glacier.
