Recent scientific findings have revealed a startling shift in our planet’s equilibrium. The Earth’s axis has tilted by an ...

Earth's axis — the invisible line around which it spins — is bookended by the north and south poles. The axis tilts, and thus the pole shift, depending on how weight is distributed across Earth's ...

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 ...

A picture of Earth from space featuring the Sinai Peninsula. Humans pumped and displaced so much groundwater in just two decades that we shifted the tilt of Earth's axis, new research suggests.

The axis of Planet Earth has tilted by 31.5 inches (nearly 80cm) and humans are to blame for this, according to a new study. Scientists studying the impact of climate change on our planet made the ...

Warming oceans could cause Earth’s axis to tilt in the coming century, a new study suggests. The effect was previously thought to be negligible, but researchers now say the shift will be large enough ...

In B science fiction movies, a terrible force often pushes the Earth off its axis and spells disaster for all life on Earth. In reality, life would still be possible on Earth and any Earth-like ...
