A recent groundbreaking study published in Geophysical Research Letters has revealed an astonishing new insight: Earth’s rotational axis has shifted 31.5 inches in less than two decades, largely due ...

Between 1993 and 2010, the tilt of the Earth shifted by 31.5 inches, corresponding with people’s worldwide withdrawals of underground water. Researchers published the findings in June in the journal ...

Earth's axis — the invisible line around which it spins — is bookended by the north and south poles. The axis tilts, and thus the pole shift, depending on how weight is distributed across Earth's ...

A recent study published in Geophysical Research Letters reveals that human activity, particularly the over-pumping of groundwater, has shifted Earth's axis by 31.5 inches (about 80 centimeters) over ...
