Earth’s spin is not as steady as it looks. As ice melts and groundwater is pumped from deep aquifers to the surface, the planet’s mass is shifting, and with it the position of the rotational axis that ...

The reason for a 1990s shift in Earth's axis is climate change, according to a new study. More specifically, the melting of glaciers that's occurred as a result of global warming is the cause of a ...

New research, published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters, has revealed that massive glacial melting has resulted in a shift of the Earth’s axis. The scientists behind the study said that ...

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 ...

(CNN) — Humans’ unquenchable thirst for groundwater has sucked so much liquid from subsurface reserves that it’s affecting Earth’s tilt, according to a new study. (CNN) — Humans’ unquenchable thirst ...
