Terrestrial Water Loss Impacts Sea Levels and Earth's Rotation
A scientific study published in Science reveals that Earth's landmasses have lost over 1,600 gigatons of water since 2000, primarily due to soil moisture depletion, leading to a 4.4-millimeter rise in sea levels and a 45-centimeter shift in Earth's rotation axis; this trend is potentially irreversib...
