Earth s Axis Has Been Shifted by Climate Change, Study Says

Earth s Axis Has Been Shifted by Climate Change, Study Says On 4/25/21 at 12:29 PM EDT 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 surface are not fixed. Changes in where the Earth s mass is distributed can cause the axis, and the poles, to move. Melting glaciers caused a significant amount of water to shift, which scientists have now said helped the locations of the poles accelerate eastward. It is estimated that since 1980, the poles positions have moved about 4 meters (13 feet).

Study reveals rapid melting of glaciers likely shifted Earth s axis

Study reveals rapid melting of glaciers likely shifted Earth s axis Thwaites Glacier/Wikimedia Commons Since 1980, the planet s north and south poles have moved roughly four meters in distance, and new research shows that shifts in the Earth s rotational axis have accelerated since the 1990s as a result of the widespread melting of glaciers—a clear manifestation, scientists say, of the climate emergency. Faster ice melting under global warming was the most likely cause of the directional change of the polar drift in the 1990s, Shanshan Deng—a researcher from the Institute of Geographic Sciences and Natural Resources Research at the Chinese Academy of Sciences
