Groundwater withdrawal causes an increase in the tilt of the Earth's axis

the Earth

 Scientists from the Korean University of Seoul were able to explain the inclination of the earth's axis, and the scientists said that the withdrawal of groundwater from the interior of the earth caused the center around which the globe revolves to move to the east. The study considered that the tilt of the earth causes the melting of snow in the polar regions.

According to recent studies, the tilt of the earth's axis to the east changed by 80 cm between 1993 and 2010, and the reason is the increase in the withdrawal of groundwater from the ground. But how did groundwater withdrawal from the ground cause this tilt?

Scientists from the Korean University of Seoul said: When water is withdrawn from one part of the planet, the center around which the globe revolves begins to move and wobble. Scientists said that the change in the position of the earth's axis led to the exposure of the polar region to a greater amount of solar radiation, and thus to the melting of snow

But what if we adapt this information that researchers have reached to turn back the clock?

The researchers say that attempts to slow rates of groundwater depletion could theoretically alter the change in polar drift, but only on condition that such efforts continue for decades. 

Commenting on the subject, Majdi Saad, editor-in-chief of Science and Science magazine, said in an interview with the morning program on Sky News Arabia:

  • Each continent in the globe has its own mass of soil, rock and groundwater.
  • The extraction and use of groundwater is one of the reasons for the tilt of the earth about 80 cm.
  • The discovery by Seoul National University is a follow-up to a 2016 study that established the relationship between water mass and Earth's rotation.
  • Human activity during the twentieth century has led to global warming and more ice melting.
  • Human activity has contributed greatly to the tilt of the globe.
  • The Earth's tilt is not currently a danger.
  • As these changes continue, the planet's weather may be greatly affected.
  • In the face of the continued melting of icebergs and the continued extraction of groundwater, it is difficult to limit climate changes.
  • The accumulation of greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide and methane) is the main cause of high temperatures and climate change on Earth.
  • The continuation of global warming with the deviation of the Earth's rotation axis may pose a great danger.
  • Scientists feared the process of heat transfer and exchange in the oceans.
  • The next climate conference may hold solutions or answers to save humanity and the planet alike.
