Because of Earth’s dynamic climate, winds and atmospheric pressure systems experience constant change. These fluctuations may affect how our planet rotates on its axis, according to NASA-funded ...

A strange impact of the continuously warming climate is that colossal amounts of ice melting into the planet's oceans have played a prominent role in moving Earth's axis — the invisible line Earth ...

The planet that appears so steady beneath our feet is, in reality, subtly reorienting itself in space. As ice melts, oceans ...

Climate change has contributed to the shifting of Earth's axis of rotation, according to new research. Earth's geographic north and south poles—where the planet's axis of rotation intersects with its ...

A boy looks at a water pump on a street in New York City. Between 1993 and 2010, researchers estimate that humans have pumped over two trillion tons of water out of the ground. Bettmann / Contributor ...

The Earth is always rotating. Despite some hair-brained theories that the Earth is flat, all you need to see evidence of the Earth's rotation and its roundness is to set up a camera and record the ...

Our planet may have had a recent change of heart. Earth’s inner core may have temporarily stopped rotating relative to the mantle and surface, researchers report in the January 23 Nature Geoscience.

Earth spun just a bit faster than usual on July 9 and is expected to do so again on July 22 and Aug. 5, according to the website TimeAndDate. Over a millisecond was reportedly shaved off the clock on ...

We live on a spinning planet. Depending on latitude your individual speed varies from 0 mph at the poles to 1,040 mph (1,674 kph) at the equator. Here at 47 degrees north I'm madly spinning eastward ...
