Recent observations have revealed an intriguing phenomenon: the Earth is spinning faster on its axis than it has in recorded ...

Humans have pumped so much water out of the ground that the Earth has tilted on its axis by 80 centimetres to the east in ...

Extraction of groundwater by humans over the last twenty years has led to Earth's axis being tilted by 31.5 inches & sea ...

Humans pump a huge amount of groundwater, and it's got us akilter. If you've felt a bit off balance, you can blame your ...

Discover the physics behind spinning tops and angular momentum, showcasing how they defy gravity before succumbing to its ...

Research published in Geophysical Research Letters reveals that Earth’s tilt has shifted by 31.5 inches in less than two ...

Following is a transcript of the video. Early in the history of our solar system, something mysteriously knocked Earth slightly off its axis. So today we tilt at 23.5 degrees. But what would ...

That’s because the Earth is a sphere that constantly rotates on its axis:just like a basketball player spinning a ball on their finger – but at over 1,500 kilometres per hour! It takes 24 ...

Yes, Earth is suddenly spinning faster. Earth rotated once around its axis on Wednesday, June 29, in 1.59 milliseconds less than 24 hours, faster than scientists had ever previously recorded ...

Earth takes just under 24 hours to complete one rotation. But the movement of its axis, and therefore its poles, could add milliseconds to that spin time, making our days a tiny bit longer.

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 ...

In a second paper in Nature Geoscience, the same researchers also show that climate change is slowing the planet’s rate of rotation and its angle. Exactly where the axis of rotation meets Earth ...
