Hawaii is gradually falling.

The mountains on Oahu island of the Hawaiian Islands (USA) are being disintegrated gradually from the root under the slow but terrible impact of groundwater flows.

In the near future, the Pacific tropical island will sink and collapse like Midway Atoll, PlanetSave.com quoted experts from Brigham Young University (USA).

While external erosion is often the main force of mountain erosion, it is not the case with Oahu.

'We try to understand the speed of the island's disappearance, as well as the impact of climate on that speed,' said geologist Steve Nelson.

After collecting samples for two months, the team of scientists discovered all of the Hawaiian Islands formed from the same type of rock.

While the current Oahu will continue to grow, after 1.5 million years, the impact of groundwater flows will eventually prevail and the island begins to collapse, ending with the image of an atoll. ring.
