If too much water gushed into their giant pit, they could destabilize their neighbor, the great structure just a few hundred feet away, causing it to shift or even fall over. So they acted quickly to pump water back in to stabilize it. When their instruments showed the ground pressure holding firm, they plugged up the leak and focused on modifying the museum’s design to mitigate this new risk. To maximize its exhibit space, while limiting its above ground footprint, the museum’s first four levels are underground. To keep them dry, visitors safe, and the 91,000-ton monument next door standing tall, they encased the subterranean levels in two walls, with eight feet of porous stone fill in between, to catch and hold any water that might penetrate the foundation. It was an ingenious solution, but for builders in the federal District of Columbia, dealing with a shallow water table is nothing new. When President George Washington chose this idyllic spot to be the national capital, it was a land of farms and woods, rich with surface water. Small brooks trickled into streams, like Rock Creek. Marshes and tidal flats swelled and receded as the 14,700 square-mile Potomac basin drained through the District and mixed with the tidal flow of the Chesapeake Bay–the largest estuary in the United States. But as the city's boulevards and grand buildings were constructed over the past two-and-a-half centuries, 70% of these natural streams have disappeared: diverted into sewers, culverts, or filled in and paved over. Tiber Creek flowed through what has become the National Mall. First, it was converted into a canal, and then piped into sewers buried beneath Federal Triangle. Today, this group of large neoclassical buildings - between Constitution and Pennsylvania Avenues - is home to numerous large government agencies. It’s also the lowest point in downtown. In 2006 it rained heavily for an entire week, leaving the Triangle submerged, causing tens of millions of dollars in damage and disrupting government operations. It wasn’t the first time this has happened here. Experts fear the most extreme storm would put the American History Museum under 16 feet of water. Engineers have taken steps to protect the buildings, like installing temporary barriers, retractable gates, and raising core utilities out of their basements. There’s even now a temporary levee that’s trucked over and dropped in along the Mall for added protection ahead of big storms. But throughout the rest of DC, an estimated 16,000 homes and businesses have had little protection from flooding when it rains. Some residents have water gush in from the street, others confront it bubbling up from their toilets when old sewers overflow and long-buried “zombie” streams gurgle back to life. On the southernmost edge of the district, along the Potomac, another major flooding threat looms. Over the past century, the waterline has effectively risen four feet, a combination of sea level rise and the land sinking under the weight of development. I’ve definitely noticed the water getting a little higher every year. The area where the water is is actually a portion of the seawall that has settled over the years. During high tide, when the ocean pushes the Chesapeake Bay further up the Potomac, 250 million gallons of river water enter the Tidal Basin. But it was constructed in 1897, it can no longer contain the river at high tide, causing the walking paths around the monuments and iconic cherry trees to flood twice a day like clockwork.

,Biggest volcanoes in the world! These are the tallest volcanoes on our planet, some of which have erupted recently Subscribe for more videos: http://bit.ly/2vW6JVo Nestled within the Cascade mountain range between Portland, Oregon and Seattle, Washington, is a volcano notorious for its pyroclastic flows and ash-launching eruptions. While it isn't the highest mountain of the region, it's still an impressive summit as Mount Saint Helens stands 8,363 feet tall currently. This volcano was once even taller, measure to a height of 9,677 feet above sea level, but a 5.1 earthquake triggered a lateral eruption in the volcano on May 18, 1980 leading to devastating consequences. A massive portion of the volcano was blown to smithereens, reducing it in size and leaving a mile-wide horseshoe-esque crater at the peak. But the sudden explosion proved even worse for locals as the eruption would go on to be the most destructive volcanic event in American history. The highest volcano peak in Japan is the legendary Mount Fuji, one of the nation's "Three Holy Mountains" looming over the rest of the island of Honshū at a height of 12,389 feet above sea level. Though it sits roughly sixty miles to the south-west of Tokyo, residents of the Japanese capital city can still view the great snow-covered volcano on a clear day. Mount Fuji hasn't erupted in over 3 centuries, with the last explosive events occurring in 1707 and 1708. Recent developments have some locals worried, however, as the 2011 earthquake off the coast of Tōhoku was thought by some scientists to have potentially induced volcanic unrest. Research, speculations, and mathematical models have indicated the possibility that the magma chamber of Mount Fuji could be at a higher pressure point than it was prior to its last eruption. Mauna Loa is widely considered the largest volcano on Earth. Shield volcanoes differ from stratovolcanoes in that their lava flows are more fluid so the lava travels further resulting in a less steep shape. The slopes of Mauna Loa flow outward over a wide expanse and the volume of this volcano are thought to measure out to 18 thousand cubic miles! Still active, this summit tends to pour out a fluid, silicone-light lava with mild, non-explosive eruptions. Scientists believe this volcano has been erupting continuously for over 700 thousand years, but only breached above sea level in the past 400 thousand years. There have been few fatalities due to these eruptions, historically speaking, but in both 1926 and 1950, entire villages were wiped out from lava flows.
