Earth’s spin is not as steady as it looks from the ground. As ice sheets melt and aquifers are drained, scientists now say the planet’s axis has shifted by more than 30 inches, a subtle but measurable ...

The Earth’s axis is shifting east at an estimated rate of 1.7 inches every year due to a decade’s worth of consistent groundwater extraction and relocation, according to a study published in the ...

By trapping huge amounts of water on land, big dams built by humans have slightly changed how Earth spins and where its poles ...

A strange impact of the continuously warming climate is that colossal amounts of ice melting into the planet's oceans have played a prominent role in moving Earth's axis — the invisible line Earth ...

As humans extract more and more groundwater, we are literally changing the composition of the planet, so much so that we are also shifting the tilt of the globe. According to a recent study in the ...

(NAPSI)-Global warming that caused glacial melting is likely the cause of a shift in the movement of the Earth’s poles in the 1990s, according to a new study in Geophysical Research Letters, AGU’s ...
