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 ...

(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. Groundwater provides drinking water ...

Each year, as the globe continues to warm, hundreds of billions of tons of ice melt into the Earth's oceans. Since 1980, the location of both poles has moved roughly 13 feet. The movement of the Earth ...

Nearby planets can affect how one planet 'wobbles' on its spin axis, which contributes to seasons. Mark Garlick/Science Photo Library via Getty Images Spring, summer, fall and winter – the seasons on ...

The Earth in orbit around the Sun, with its rotational axis shown. Earth's axial tilt does not change appreciably in direction or magnitude over the course of a day or even a year, which is why the ...

Runoff from irrigation has moved so much water from land to sea that Earth’s rotation might have measurably shifted. Computer simulations suggest that from 1993 through 2010, irrigation alone nudged ...

Venus looks like Earth’s twin at first glance, yet its rotation behaves like a cosmic prank. The planet spins backward, ...
