On positive note, coronavirus lockdown changed the way Earth moves

New Delhi : If we talk about the impact of coronavirus pandemic on humanity, the things are disastrous and have left the people shocked across the globe. As death rates are rising in the USA, Spain and Italy, the world is worrying over the fact of how it will be controlled. The number of positive coronavirus cases is rising rapidly too, making the situation more worrisome.

Several countries across the world have imposed lockdown, asking their citizens to remain indoors to keep themselves safe and protect their families from the virus.

Meanwhile, a positive thing that has come out due to the lockdown is that it has reduced the seismic noise and with that, a change has been noticed on the way Earth moves. With less vehicular movement and few factories operating the noise level has gone drastically down, making it good news for geoscientists.

The scientists have claimed that with fewer vibrations and sound noise due to the lockdown they were able to detect the signals which may help them in studying the cause of earthquakes and smaller volcanic activities in a better way.

After Christmas 2019, the coronavirus outbreak time in China, a significant drop in the noise level was registered, allowing the scientists to undertake a study on underground activities.

Amid lockdown, the earth is experiencing a sharp dip in air pollution as well. According to pollution meters across India, many cities, including the national capital has registered a steep drop in pollutants, allowing the residents to breath fresh air.
