When looking at the Earth from afar it appears to be a perfect sphere, but that actually isn't the case. Because Earth isn't uniform on all sides due to land masses that shift and change over time, ...

A picture of Earth from space featuring the Sinai Peninsula. Humans pumped and displaced so much groundwater in just two decades that we shifted the tilt of Earth's axis, new research suggests.

The spin of the earth is a constant in our lives. It’s quite literally why night follows day. And while that cycle isn’t going away, climate change is messing with the axis upon which our fair planet ...

WASHINGTON-- Global warming is shifting the way the Earth wobbles on its polar axis, a new NASA study finds. Melting ice sheets - especially in Greenland - are changing the distribution of weight on ...

WASHINGTON — By pumping water out of the ground and moving it elsewhere, humans have shifted such a large mass of water that the Earth tilted nearly 80 centimeters (31.5 inches) east between 1993 and ...

The study of polar motion and Earth's rotation dynamics encompasses the investigation of subtle shifts in the orientation of the planet's rotation axis relative to its crust. These motions are ...

When the Earth rotates, it doesn’t just spin. The Earth also wobbles on its axis like a top, and now a NASA study has clarified just what causes that wobble. The study identifies three separate causes ...

The sun is governed by a strict rhythm. The magnetic activity of the sun displays a cyclic variation, reaching a maximum approximately every eleven years. Two enormous plasma circulations, each in one ...
