Due to the tectonic movement of the Australian continent had moved half a meter.
The Australian continent has moved in the direction of the North half a meter over the last 22 years.
Australian scientists made this conclusion based on the information obtained during the GPS measurements.
Taking into account this consequence of the tectonic shifts that the authorities are ready to make adjustments to the official coordinates of the geographical points of the continent. It should be noted that Australia is the fastest continent on Earth: it moves towards the North and partly the West at a speed of 7 centimeters per year.
Such drift of the lithospheric plates causes severe stress in the earth’s crust, which can be a powerful earthquake. As noted by Dan JAX from the organization Geoscience Australia, soon there will be cars without drivers, who are 1.5 meters can mean the arrival of foreign territory.
