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 ...

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 ...

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 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 ...

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.

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 ...
