A recent study reveals that the massive extraction of groundwater has caused Earth’s axis to shift by 31.5 inches (nearly 80 cm), impacting the planet’s rotation and contributing to sea-level rise. The study, published in Geophysical Research Letters, highlights how large-scale groundwater pumping, particularly for agricultural and human use, redistributes the Earth’s mass, which influences
