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

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 ...

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

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 ...

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

But the tilt of Earth's axis naturally gets bigger and smaller in a cycle that lasts about 41,000 years. The axis also wobbles around itself like an off-center spinning top, affecting how much solar ...

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.

How does the Earth’s orbit influence our daylight and temperatures? As the Earth orbits the sun, it spins around an axis – picture a stick going through the Earth, from the North Pole to the South ...

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 ...

Britain’s cooler weather in early July was due to atmospheric conditions, not changes in the Earth’s orbit or tilt, as some social media users claimed. Britain experienced slightly below-average ...
