The Three Gorges Dam causes a delay in the rotation of Earth.
The momentum is lost due to an enormous amount of water being forced through the dam. According to NASA estimates, the dam delays the rotation by 0,06 microseconds.
Most types of steel melt between 1370°C (2500°F) and 1500°C (2732°F).
The melting temperature depends on its composition. In general, high-alloyed steels containing more alloying elements have higher melting points than low-alloyed steels.
It is one of the most recycled materials in the world.
Approximately 60% of steel is recycled. However, because more steel is produced than is recycled, only about 40% of steel produced comes from recycling.
On 30th August 2016, the Airspace Industry Corporation of China signed an agreement with Antonov Corporation to complete the second machine and start production of more, with upgraded avionics and a different propulsion system.
