The streets of various cities in the world seem lonely because their citizens isolate themselves at home

UPDATimes - The restrictions imposed against Covid-19 caused fewer and fewer people to travel by car and train. Factories also stopped operating.
When billions of people do that, the way our planet moves also changes. In fact, in fact, vibrations in the Earth's crust decrease.
This is quite extraordinary considering our planet weighs six billion trillion tons.
Dramatic decrease
Scientists at the Royal Observatory of Belgium were the first to notice the decline.
He said that "ground movements at frequencies of 1-20 Hz [deeper than a double bass sound, similar to a large organ] are much lower since governments limit the movements of communities'.
Change is also realized in various other places throughout the world.
Earthquake experts in Nepal saw a decline in activity, a worker at the Paris Institute of Earth Physics said the reduction in movement in the French capital was "dramatic", and a study at Cal Tech university in the US described the decline in Los Angeles as "very wild".
A dramatic decrease in seismic activity in Nepal can be seen on this graph.

The air is cleaner, the sea is calmer
This is not the only way the corona virus - by the way it affects our lives - changes the world naturally.
Satellites have detected a drop in nitrogen dioxide from polluted gases emitted by cars, trucks, buses and power plants.
Corona virus outbreaks that hit a number of cruise ships make other ships choose docked at the port so that traffic at sea is reduced.
The world is also calmer.
Scientists who measure everyday noise in cities and those who study the depth of the ocean have seen noise pollution decrease.
