If you've felt a bit off-balance, you can blame your fellow humans: The pumping of groundwater caused the Earth to tilt 31.5 inches over a 17-year period, or about 1.8 inches per year. As reported in ...

In less than two decades, Earth’s tilt has shifted by 31.5 inches due to the pumping of groundwater, a new study reveals. The research highlights how the redistribution of water on the planet can have ...

When humans pump groundwater, it has a substantial impact on the tilt of Earth’s rotation. Additionally, a study documents just how much of an influence groundwater pumping has on climate change.

In an eye-opening study, researchers have discovered that human activities, particularly groundwater pumping, are causing a significant shift in Earth's physical orientation. The findings, now making ...

Earth tilted, but it had nothing to do with weird space phenomena and everything to do with how people are pumping groundwater and shipping it across the planet, a study found. The findings of a study ...

For the first time, researchers at ETH Zurich have been able to fully explain the various causes of long-term polar motion in the most comprehensive modeling to date, using AI methods. Their model and ...

Why does the Earth’s tilt create our season? The Earth orbits the Sun, but with a tilt. That tilt is important to those of us on the planet because it creates our seasons. How does that work? What ...

The Earth has always had a tilt to its axis of 23.5 degrees, which is why we have seasons and daylight saving time. But if you've felt a bit off-balance, you can blame your fellow humans: The pumping ...

Climate change is causing the ice masses in Greenland and Antarctica to melt. Water from the polar regions is flowing into the world’s oceans –and especially into the equatorial region. “This means ...
