Earth's tilt creates a delicate balance crucial for life on the planet, however according to recent news, this balance has been disrupted. Between 1993 and 2010, scientists observed a shift in ...
The redistribution not only caused the Earth's rotational pole to shift 31.5 inches to the east, "toward 64.16°E," but raised global sea levels by a quarter of an inch, according to the study.
Research published in Geophysical Research Letters reveals that Earth’s tilt has shifted by 31.5 inches in less than two decades (1993–2010) due to groundwater pumping. This movement is linked ...
Water extraction caused an average annual drift of Earth's rotational pole by 4.63 cm, totaling 80 cm in less than two decades. Shifting Earth’s axis. Aerial photo of center pivot irrigations ...
Astronomers see red-shift in virtually all galaxies. It is a result of the space between the Earth and the galaxies expanding. This expansion has the effect of increasing the wavelength of the ...
David Bressan is a geologist who covers curiosities about Earth. By pumping water out of the ground, humans have shifted such a large mass of water that the Earth tilted nearly 80 centimeters (31. ...
