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.
So the Moon is acting like an anchor and slowing down the Earthâs rotation, just as the Moon is consequently increasing its orbital speed around the Earth. If it is truly getting faster, conservation of angular momentum tells us that it also has to be getting further away from the Earth at the same time! Brad Bailey.
