Melting polar ice is slowing the Earth’s rotation, but not enough to offset an even greater acceleration caused by changes in ...

Earth's rotation slowing down due to melting ice, scientists say Less ice at the Earth's poles and more water weight spread around to other places are leading to the planet slowing down. By Scott ...

Polar ice is melting and changing Earth’s rotation. ... As the ice melts into the ocean, meltwater moves from the poles toward the equator, which further slows the speed of the Earth’s rotation.

Melting ice is slowing Earth's spin and causing changes to its axis, new studies find. The shifts are causing feedback beneath the surface, impacting the planet's molten core.

Just as an ice skater extends arms and slows their movement, the Earth’s added liquid water to our oceans is creating the same effect. Since the year 2000, the the Earth’s rotation has already ...
