The Earth is predicted to increase its rotation speed in July and August, once again bucking the trend of a slower rotation ...

In March 2011, a magnitude 9.0 earthquake struck off the east coast of Japan, and moved the Earth's axis, shortening our days ...

Their model and their observations show that climate change and global warming will have a greater influence on the Earth's rotational speed than the effect of the moon, which has determined the ...

Alongside the Moon's effect on the length of Earth's days, a recent study also suggests the rotation of the iron-nickel inner core of our planet may be slowing down, altering the length of days ...

WHEN the mean horizontal force of the earth's magnetism for each day of the year has been deduced from well-corrected observations of the bifilar magnetometer, and the results have been projected ...

Melting ice is slowing Earth's spin and causing changes to its axis, new studies find. The shifts are causing feedback beneath the surface, impacting the planet's molten core.

As it circles us it pulls on the Earth, slowing our planet's rotation - a process known as tidal braking. The Moon also steadies the Earth as it spins on its axis, helping to give us a stable climate.

Several key factors affect the planet’s spin — sometimes working in opposition. The friction of ocean tides, due in part to the moon’s gravitational pull, slows the Earth’s rotation.

Their model and their observations show that climate change and global warming will have a greater influence on the Earth's rotational speed than the effect of the moon, which has determined the ...

When the Earth’s ice masses melt, the way the planet rotates also changes. Researchers at ETH Zurich have now been able to show how climate change is altering the Earth’s axis of rotation and the ...
