Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Earth's axis — the invisible line around which it spins — is bookended by the north and south poles. The axis tilts, and thus the ...

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 ...

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 ...

Climate change is altering the Earth to its literal core, new research suggests. As polar and glacial ice melts because of global warming, water that was once concentrated at the top and the bottom of ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

Planet Earth is spinning a little faster today — resulting in one of the shortest days of the year. But the change will be so minuscule you won’t even notice. We’re talking even less time than the ...

Shifting water weight is changing the way Earth’s poles move around, a new study indicates. While Earth’s axis periodically shifts by itself, the effect is being exacerbated by human activity’s effect ...
