New York sinks every year

It’s New York City, the representative city of the United States and a city with huge skyscrapers

But studies show that New York City is slowly sinking because of its iconic landmarks, which is shocking

New York, also known as the city of skyscrapers, is full of high-rise buildings that soar through the sky!

But studies have shown that New York City sinks up to two millimeters per year

It’s because of these skyscrapers that are like symbols of New York

According to a team of researchers from the U.S. Geological Survey, the total weight of more than one million buildings in New York is 770 million tons

The research team explained that this is equivalent to 70,000 Eiffel Tower in Paris, France, adding that the enormous weight is weighing on the ground of New York City, speeding up the subsidence

In addition, he added that rising sea levels due to climate change are also affecting them

The research team says the sea level around New York City has risen by about 22cm since 1950, which has exacerbated flood damage, with parts of the city flooded by seawater during Hurricane Ida in 2021

And he said that this phenomenon is being seen not only in New York but also in coastal cities around the world, and that the entire world should be prepared for the risk of flooding
