Scientific American Magazine has recently reported that the earth axis has significantly tilted and the cause is stated to be the excessive pumping of Groundwater
The net water lost from underground reservoirs between 1993 and 2010 is estimated to be more than 2 trillion tons. That has caused the geographic North Pole to shift at a speed of 4.36 centimetres per year
The tilt of the axis on which any celestial object spins tends to be stable. But small changes can occur when large masses shift location inside a planet and on its surface.
Gravitational surveys have measured the depletion of underground reservoirs, which is caused in large part by irrigation, especially in north-western India and North western America.
The Earth has lost enough groundwater to thirsty humans to measurably tilt the planet’s axis of rotation.
This effect causes the Earth’s geographic poles to wobble by up to several metres every year The tilting of the axis has major effect on climate too…
