Earth's Axis Tilted Noticeably Over Two Decades. Here's Why
As reported in recent days by outlets including Popular Science and USA Today, more than a year after the research was published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters, the pumping of 2,150 gigatons of groundwater over the period of study from 1993 to 2010 shifted the Earth's tilt more than two feet.
Earth's axis has tilted 31.5 inches. So whose fault is that? Humans, of course.
Pumping an unimaginable amount of groundwater out of the earth is why Earth has tilted over two dozen degrees, a study found.
Earth's axis tilts nearly 3ft - scientists pinpoint exactly who should be blamed
The axis of planet Earth has tilted by 31.5 inches (80cms) and humans are seemingly responsible, according to a new study. Scientists made the discovery whilst researching the impact of climate change and believe that it is as a result of the pumping of Earth’s groundwater by humans.
Has the Earth’s axis tilted and why?
A study published in Geophysical Research Letters has found that the Earth’s axis has tilted by 31.5 inches and we humans are to blame for it. Here’s why
'Who is behind this?': Earth’s axis has tilted by a shocking 31.5 inches in just two decades
Groundwater pumping has shifted Earth’s axis by 31.5 inches in two decades, altering mass distribution, driving sea level rise, and highlighting the profound impact of human activity.
Humans have affected the Earth’s rotation, scientists say
“Earth’s rotational pole actually changes a lot. Our study shows that among climate-related causes, the redistribution of groundwater actually has the largest impact on the drift of the rotational pole,” said study co-author Ki-Weon Seo, a geophysicist at Seoul National University in South Korea.
The Earth’s axis has tilted 31.5 inches – but why?
Extraction of groundwater by humans over the last twenty years has led to Earth's axis being tilted by 31.5 inches & sea level rise
Earth's rotation is tilting and its humans' fault
I’m very glad to find the unexplained cause of the rotation pole drift,” Seo said. “On the other hand, as a resident of Earth and a father, I’m concerned and surprised that pumping groundwater is another source of sea-level rise,
Humans Shift Earth's Tilt 31 Inches in 17 Years
A study has found that humans are to blame for the Earth tilting more than 2.5 feet in 17 years. The research published in Geophysical Research Letters sought to explain a 31.5-inch shift in Earth's rotational tilt observed between 1993 and 2010.
Earth has tilted 31.5 inches in less than two decades raising concern; why did this happen and what are its repercussions?
New research shows that the Earth has shifted its tilt by 31.5 inches in less than two decades due to the pumping of groundwater. This seemingly small change has significant implications, contributing to sea-level rise and shifting Earth’s rotation.
Earth's axis tilts 31.5 inches - and scientists pinpoint exactly who is to blame
The axis of Planet Earth has tilted by 31.5 inches (nearly 80cm) and humans are to blame for this, according to a new study.
