A new study has revealed an unexpected consequence of human activity: the Earth’s tilt has shifted 31.5 inches (0.8 metres) in less than two decades. The cause? Groundwater pumping on a massive ...
It caused ejected debris to form our moon — and caused the Earth’s tilt. Theia is named for the Greek goddess of light, daughter of Gaia (Earth) and Uranus (sky), and mother of the sun, moon and dawn.
Scientists have determined exactly how Earth's orbit and tilt affect glaciation and deglaciation, based on the length of these parameters' cycles and clues hidden at the bottom of the ocean.
