A recent study reveals that groundwater pumping has caused Earth's tilt to shift by 31.5 inches over less than two decades, significantly impacting Earth's rotation and contributing to sea level rise, highlighting the importance of water redistribution in climate change effects.
A recent study published in Geophysical Research Letters reveals that extensive groundwater pumping by humans has caused the Earth to tilt by 31.5 inches over the past two decades. This redistribution of water contributes to sea level rise, highlighting the significant impact human activities can have on the planet's natural systems. The study emphasizes that groundwater redistribution has a larger effect on the Earth's rotational pole drift than other climate-related factors.
