The Earth has always had a tilt to its axis of 23.5 degrees, which is why we have seasons and daylight saving time. But if you've felt a bit off-balance, you can blame your fellow humans: The pumping ...

Humans have been identified as the culprits behind a startling shift in Earth's axis by almost 31.5 inches (nearly 80cm), a recent study reveals. Climate change researchers uncovered this alarming ...

Yet, NASA issued a startling warning about the potential consequences of filling the dam. The space agency cautioned that such a massive accumulation of water could slightly alter Earth’s rotation.

British scientists have recently revealed that Earth's magnetic north pole is drifting towards Russia at an accelerated speed ...

Your navigation system just got a critical update, one that happens periodically because Earth’s magnetic north pole keeps moving. Here’s what to know.

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 ...

Well, you'll change a lot more than just the sunsets ... That's how quickly Earth rotates on its axis, from West to East. And that rotation is largely responsible for the distribution of every ...

growing or shrinking ice sheets and the slow drift of the continents will move mass around and cause Earth's axis to shift, but human activity can cause significant changes on a much smaller ...

Don't worry — this change in Earth's rotation won't ... and these measurements are dictated by Earth's rotation on its axis and the sun's position in the sky — what's called the solar timescale.

We now know that these images document a dramatic climate change across North Africa from ... a 41,000 year cycle in the tilt of the Earth's axis (obliquity) and a 20,000-year cycle in the ...
