On the night of August 30 to 31, the Moon will come as close to the Earth as possible. In particular, if usually the satellite is at a distance of about 400 thousand kilometers from the Earth, that on the night of Tuesday to Wednesday it will approach to a distance of 357,181km.

As a result, this phenomenon could cause devastating effects on Earth, warn seismologists from the University of Washington, because the satellite has an impact on the lithospheric plates.

As a result, within a week after the super moon on Earth may occur several strong earthquakes or one mega-earthquake.

At the same time, the most dangerous place was named the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, where suspicious fissures were found, from which hot liquid bubbles come out. This fault runs along the west coast of America and Canada.

In addition to this fault, many other fissures have also been found there, the scientists said.
