Has The Earth Tilted Recently 2024. A new study reveals that groundwater pumping has tilted the earth’s axis 31.5 inches in just the last two decades. The study, published in the journal geophysical research letters, blames human activity for impacting the planet’s rotation.

Sloshing molten iron in earth’s core, melting ice, ocean currents, and even hurricanes can all cause the poles to wander. As a result of groundwater extraction, large volumes of water are moved from one area to another, causing the earth’s mass distribution to become uneven and taking.
