The Mexico pyramid collapse is one of many recent examples of these events, with Utah’s Double Arch collapsing just a couple of days ago, likely due to erosion and changing water levels. Earlier this year, a study that looked at the building materials of cultural landmarks of Europe and Mexico found that high levels of increased precipitation can put these buildings at an increased risk of damage. Tariakuiri Alvarez, a man who identifies as a living member of the Purhepecha tribe, said his ancestors would have viewed the collapse as a “bad omen.”
He may be right, as just days ago the Mediterranean Sea was reported by Spanish researchers to have its highest surface temperature ever recorded at a daily median of 28.9 degrees Celsius. This is the second summer in a row that the Mediterranean has reached temperature beyond the record-breaking heatwave in 2003. Of course, this record heating has all kinds of effects on the oceans and marine life.
