Arab Weather - After the huge explosion in Beirut, which was on August 4, there was a lot of talk about the possibility of several phenomena, such as: the formation of acid rain, earthquakes, and high temperatures , so what is the truth of that and could it happen?
In fact, it is not correct to associate an explosion with acid rain in the region. The harmful gases accompanying the explosion were distributed into the atmosphere during the hours following the explosion.
It is noteworthy that the rain fell in Lebanon two days after the explosion, and it was heavy, and the acid rain did not affect the plants or anything else.
When the explosion occurred, the seismic observatories in the region sensed an earthquake, "and that was at the moment of the earthquake."
But the explosion does not, and will not, actually affect the Earth's subsoil and tectonic plates and their movement, as the world has witnessed explosions larger than the Beirut explosion, such as the Hiroshima and Nagasaki eruption in Japan, and they did not cause earthquakes and did not affect tectonic plates, and what happens is only sensing an earthquake at the time of the earthquake.
What was the "shock wave" that we saw in the devastating Beirut explosion?
It is noteworthy that the link between the large fluctuations in temperature and the Beirut explosion is untrue, as the decrease in temperature and its significant rise in the coming periods is normal within the Kingdom's climate. It is the beginning of autumn and winter that accompanies this contrast in temperature
