The Earth's axis has tilted due to groundwater extraction. File Photo/Reuters The Earth’s axis has tilted by 31.5 inches (about 80 centimetres), new research has found. The study, published in the ...
Earth has therefore tilted it on its axis at a rate of about 1.7 inches (4.3 centimetres) a year, giving a total of 78.5 centimetres, during the 18-year study period. While spinning on its axis ...
Scientists found that the Earth tilted 31.5 inches over the last two decades. The tilt was caused by excessive groundwater pumping. This pumping contributed to a 0.24 inches rise in global sea levels.
A reanalysis of the data from the "rubber-ducky" comet 67P, collected nearly a decade ago, suggests comets may have deposited a lot more water on Earth than scientists previously thought.
A recent study has shown that excessive groundwater extraction is causing significant changes in the Earth's rotation. This research, led by scientists from Seoul National University, highlights ...
A recent study has revealed that human activities, particularly the extraction of groundwater, have caused a noticeable shift in Earth's axis. The study, published in Geophysical Research Letters ...
