1 Wear safety goggles to protect your eyes. 2  Never use a plunger if a chemical cleaner is present in the drain; you risk splashing the chemical on yourself.  Never remove a trap with chemicals present; you risk burns to your skin. Call a professional but make certain you inform them of what chemical you used.
Originally Answered: Why is the Moon drifting away by 1 cm each year? Because of tidal forces between moon and Earth. As Earth and moon pull each other, bulges are created on the surface.
Hence the receding moon was never that close to the earth. The present speed of recession of the moon is known. If one multiplies this recession speed by the presumed evolutionary age, the moon would be much farther away from the earth than it is, even if it had started from the earth. It could not have been receding for anything like the age demanded by the doctrine of evolution.
