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 ...

The Earth’s axis is shifting east at an estimated rate of 1.7 inches every year due to a decade’s worth of consistent groundwater extraction and relocation, according to a study published in the ...

A strange impact of the continuously warming climate is that colossal amounts of ice melting into the planet's oceans have played a prominent role in moving Earth's axis — the invisible line Earth ...

(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. (CNN) — Humans’ unquenchable thirst ...

Right now, as a passenger on planet Earth, you’re zooming through space at incredible speeds. But why can't you feel it?

When you picture the Earth spinning in space you imagine it rotating just like a globe does, with two static poles and a line running from north to south. Unfortunately, things aren't nearly that ...

We live on a spinning planet. Depending on latitude your individual speed varies from 0 mph at the poles to 1,040 mph (1,674 kph) at the equator. Here at 47 degrees north I'm madly spinning eastward ...

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 ...

The Earth, moving in its orbit around the Sun and spinning on its axis, appears to make a closed, unchanging, elliptical orbit. If we look to a high-enough precision, however, we'll find that our ...

Climate change has contributed to the shifting of Earth's axis of rotation, according to new research. Earth's geographic north and south poles—where the planet's axis of rotation intersects with its ...
