Like a waistband after Thanksgiving dinner, New Mexico's borders are gradually gaining girth, according to the Albuquerque Journal .
It’s not much, and it’s not happening very fast -- the state is getting about an inch wider every 40 years -- but the state is unquestionably expanding, according to University of Colorado geophysicist Henry Berglund and his colleagues.
Using a collection of 25 extra-precise GPS receivers planted across New Mexico and Colorado, Berglund determined that the cities of Albuquerque and Santa Fe are creeping away from each other. The rate of change seems ever so slow to the untrained ear, described as approximately 1.2 “nanostrains” per year.
Anne Sheehan, who was Berglund’s faculty adviser and a member of the research team, told the Journal the phenomenon was actually surprising and widespread.
“We didn’t expect it to be so spread out,” Sheehan said.
The stretching of the surface of the Earth is commonly documented at the edge of continental plates, where the jigsaw puzzle pieces that make up the surface of the planet jostle and collide, forming mountains, or move under or over each other. In places like California, the effect can be easy to see, the Journal said.
