Study reveals factor that led to dramatic shift in Earth's tilt

IndiaTimes Monday, 30 October 2023
A recent study has found that rapid groundwater extraction can lead to shifts in the Earth's axis. Between 1993 and 2010, the planet's tilt changed by approximately 31.5 inches, correlating with the removal of underground water resources. This extensive groundwater extraction has also resulted in a more noticeable wobble in the Earth's rotation. The study emphasizes the need to safeguard groundwater resources to mitigate the Earth's unexpected wobble and prevent land subsidence.
