Earth's Inner Core Is Changing Shape And It Could Alter Our Day's Length
The rotation of the Earth's inner core is tied to the planet's overall rotation. Changes in the core's structure or movement can influence how fast or slow the Earth spins on its axis. Even minute alterations in the core's rotation can lead to changes in the length of a day by fractions of a millisecond.
Humans have been identified as the culprits behind a startling shift in Earth's axis by almost 31.5 inches ... factor that can both alter our planet's rotation and contribute to sea level rise.
