Scientists have long debated what causes glacial/interglacial cycles, which have occurred most recently at intervals of about 100,000 years. A new study reported in the March 24 issue of Nature finds ...

Earth's climate has swung between ice ages and warmer periods for millions of years, driven by subtle changes in our planet's ...

By trapping huge amounts of water on land, big dams built by humans have slightly changed how Earth spins and where its poles ...

Earth’s spin is not as steady as it looks. As ice melts and groundwater is pumped from deep aquifers to the surface, the ...

Earth tilted, but it had nothing to do with weird space phenomena and everything to do with how people are pumping groundwater and shipping it across the planet, a study found. The findings of a study ...

(CNN) — Humans’ unquenchable thirst for groundwater has sucked so much liquid from subsurface reserves that it’s affecting Earth’s tilt, according to a new study. (CNN) — Humans’ unquenchable thirst ...

When humans pump groundwater, it has a substantial impact on the tilt of Earth’s rotation. Additionally, a study documents just how much of an influence groundwater pumping has on climate change.

With its long days just itching to be spent by water doing nothing, summer really can be an enchanting season. As Jenny Han wrote in the young adult novel “The Summer I Turned Pretty”: “Everything ...

SYRACUSE, N.Y. - The Earth has seasons due to the tilt of Earth's axis, which is a line through the south to north pole. The Earth's axis tilts towards and away from the Sun's rays as it travels in a ...
