In 1993–2010, the Earth's pole shifted 64.16° to the Eastern Hemisphere. This year it happened at a rate of 4.36 centimeters. Geophysicists found that this happened as a result of the redistribution of the underground water mass. A new study published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters shows that humans have removed a lot of water from the earth and moved it elsewhere.

That is, from one hemisphere to the other. As a result, the Earth tilted about 80 centimeters to the East between 1993 and 2010 alone. It also shows that, among climate-related causes, groundwater redistribution has had the greatest impact on the shift of the pole of rotation.

Back in 2016, it was discovered that water can change the rotation of the Earth, but until now, the exact role of groundwater in this rotation shift has not been studied. In the current study, geoscientists used computer modeling to simulate changes in Earth's polar shift and water movement. Let's imagine that our planet is the top. There are two half-full buckets on either side of it. From time to time, water is taken from one bucket and poured into the second. Very soon the top will start to move in a completely different way. The same thing happens on Earth.

The melting of glaciers is also not without effect.
