    July 26 neared the newly-set record, at 1.50 milliseconds shorter than usual, according to timeanddate.com. The shortened days are caused by the Earth spinning faster than usual, Interesting ...

    For the first time in history, world timekeepers may have to consider subtracting a second from our clocks in a few years because the planet is rotating a tad faster than it used to. Clocks may ...

    Earth has reportedly reached its quickest spin speeds in the past half-century.

  5. Earth's rotation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth's_rotation

    Earth's movement along its nearly circular orbit while it is rotating once around its axis requires that Earth rotate slightly more than once relative to the fixed stars before the mean Sun can pass overhead again, even though it rotates only once (360°) relative to the mean Sun. [n 5] Multiplying the value in rad/s by Earth's equatorial ...

  6. Inner core super-rotation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inner_core_super-rotation

    Waves were observed to travel faster between north and south than along the equatorial plane. A model for the inner core with uniform anisotropy had a direction of fastest travel tilted at an angle 10° from the spin axis of the Earth. [15] Since then, the model for the anisotropy has become more complex. The top 100 kilometers are isotropic.

  7. Cataclysmic pole shift hypothesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cataclysmic_pole_shift...

    The geographic poles are defined by the points on the surface of Earth that are intersected by the axis of rotation. The pole shift hypothesis describes a change in location of these poles with respect to the underlying surface – a phenomenon distinct from the changes in axial orientation with respect to the plane of the ecliptic that are caused by precession and nutation, and is an ...

    The study included data from 1993 through 2010, and showed that the pumping of as much as 2,150 gigatons of groundwater has caused a change in the Earth’s tilt of roughly 31.5 inches. The ...

    [28]: 322 At that time, mean global temperatures were about 2–4 °C (3.6–7.2 °F) warmer than pre-industrial temperatures. The global mean sea level was up to 25 metres (82 ft) higher than it is today. [29]: 323 The modern observed rise in temperature and CO 2 concentrations has been rapid. Even abrupt geophysical events in Earth's history ...
