Sea sponges are essential to marine ecosystems.
We’ve Pumped So Much Groundwater That We’ve Nudged the Earth’s Spin
By pumping water out of the ground and moving it elsewhere, humans have shifted such a large mass of water that the Earth tilted nearly 80 centimeters (31.5 inches) east between 1993 and 2010 alone, according to a new study published in Geophysical Research Letters, AGU’s journal for short-format, high-impact research with implications spanning the Earth and space sciences.
