"Water-induced Shifts: Earth's Axis in Motion"

Scientists have discovered that the Earth's axis is shifting due to a combination of global warming, melting polar ice caps, and groundwater extraction. The depletion of groundwater caused by irrigation can force the Earth's poles to move, potentially changing the Earth's seasons over time. This research highlights the impact of human consumption of natural resources, particularly the use of salty water on dehydrated land. Additionally, scientists have recently found that water is slowly leaking down into the Earth's core from the surface, forming a new surface between the outer core and outer mantle over billions of years.

"Unprecedented Groundwater Pumping Alters Earth's Rotational Pole, Study Finds"

Groundwater pumping is causing Earth's rotational pole to shift due to the redistribution of water mass from continents to oceans. This depletion of groundwater has also contributed to a rise in global sea levels by 6.24 mm from 1993 to 2010. While the shift in the rotational pole is not a major concern, the negative effects of groundwater depletion include water scarcity, threats to aquatic ecosystems, and decreased water flow in streams. Without better management, a significant percentage of watersheds that rely on groundwater may struggle to maintain healthy ecosystems by 2050.

Groundwater pumping causes Earth's axis shift and sea level rise

A recent study published in Geophysical Research Letters reveals that the Earth's axis is shifting eastward at a rate of 1.7 inches per year due to consistent groundwater extraction and relocation over the past decade. The redistribution of groundwater has been found to have the largest impact on the drift of the rotational pole, surpassing other climate-related causes. The study highlights that humans have extracted over 2,150 gigatons of groundwater between 1993 and 2010, with western North America and northwestern India being the most affected regions. If this extracted groundwater were poured into the ocean, it would raise global sea levels by about 0.24 inches. The redistribution of groundwater also affects the Earth's mantle flow and polar motion, which could have significant implications for climate change on a global scale.

Groundwater pumping causes Earth's axis shift, study suggests.

Humans' excessive pumping of groundwater has caused Earth's axis to shift, according to a new study. The shift is observable on Earth's surface and contributes to global sea level rise. Groundwater extraction has caused the rotational pole to drift eastward at a rate of about 1.7 inches per year. The study shows that the redistribution of groundwater has the largest impact on the drift of the rotational pole among climate-related causes. The researchers used computer models to evaluate sea level variations and found that groundwater extraction is the second most significant factor affecting the rotational axis after mantle flow.

Groundwater pumping alters Earth's axis tilt.

Human depletion of underground reservoirs, mainly caused by irrigation, has caused the North Pole to shift at a speed of 4.36 centimetres per year, according to a study published in Geophysical Research Letters. The net water lost from underground reservoirs between 1993 and 2010 is estimated to be more than 2 trillion tons, causing a measurable tilt in the planet's axis of rotation. The depletion of groundwater has shifted the global distribution of water, leading to a water crisis.
