Recent findings have caused scientists to issue warnings in the Midwest. The New Madrid Fault Line has shown various signs of activity. Scientists believe that when the solar eclipse happens in August, it will cause massive shifting along the fault line.
A solar eclipse happens when the moon passes between the sun and the earth. The moon causes movement in the waters of Earth because of the gravitational effect it has on Earth’s atmosphere. During the solar eclipse, the energy from the sun adds to the moon’s energy, causing the pull on the waters to become much stronger.
Normally this has no major effect, but when coupled with the amount of water in the underground caverns and the already weakened fault line, experts say there is cause for precautions.
The most effected area will be in Missouri. Other states along the fault line include Illinois, Indiana, Arkansas, Kentucky, Tennessee, Oklahoma, and Mississippi.
Each state is preparing its own action plan in case of disaster.
