Using a complex model to perform a theoretical calculation based on a U.S. Geological Survey, Richard Gross of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) has determined that by changing the distribution ...

The Mechanics of Earth's Spin Earth rotates once in about 24 hours with respect to the Sun, but once every 23 hours, 56 ...

China’s massive Three Gorges Dam has reportedly caused a subtle but measurable shift in the Earth’s axis and a slight increase in the length of a day, an effect confirmed by scientists at NASA’s ...

Climate change is altering the Earth to its literal core, new research suggests. As polar and glacial ice melts because of global warming, water that was once concentrated at the top and the bottom of ...

Humans may have significantly shifted the Earth’s rotation by 80 centimetres to the east due to large quantities of water being pumped out of the ground. Findings published in Geophysical Research ...

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 ...
