As just one of all the living creatures on Earth, you're along for the ride as our planet constantly moves in two major ways.

Humans have built so many dams around the world that the Earth’s poles have wandered away from the planet’s rotational axis, new research suggests. Over the last 200 years, humans have constructed ...

Dam construction since 1835 has caused Earth's poles to "wander" away from the planet's rotational axis because of the massive weight of water reservoirs.

A new model uncovers how Earth’s liquid core has sustained its magnetic field since the planet’s beginnings, offering new insights into its future. Earth benefits from the presence of a magnetic field ...

Something may be stirring in the world’s largest oceanic current. New research suggests that this vast conveyor belt of cold ...

As the iron and nickel inside our planet shift, so does Earth's magnetic field, meaning the North (and South) Poles are also ...

Earth is getting darker by the year, and the fact that humans will finally feel the consequences in 2026 is scaring even the ...

Analysis by researchers at the University of Bern suggests that water and other volatile compounds arrived on Earth from ...

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.

Over the past two centuries, the construction of thousands of dams has done more than just tame rivers – it has shifted the Earth’s North Pole about a meter from its original position. By storing ...

The whole point of a dam is to store water in one place, thus preventing it from spreading across a larger surface area. That's great for hydropower, recreation, and ensuring there's enough water for ...
