US EditionDams Have Nudged Earth's Poles By Over 1 Meter In The Past 200 Years
MAI-MNE SUB-ZONE, SOUTHERN REGION, ERITREA, JUL 10 – Nearly 7,000 dams built since 1835 have caused Earth’s poles to shift by about one meter and lowered global sea levels by 21 millimeters, researchers found.
- Last week, the Southern Region administration and Defense Forces built three dams in Mai-Mne sub-zone at over 20 million Nakfa, with capacities of 250,000, 85,000, and 75,000 m³.
- In recent Eritrean dam projects, the Southern Region and defense forces built three dams in Mai-Mne at over 20 million Nakfa, supporting irrigation and water supply.
- Harvard and NASA researchers analyzed nearly 7,000 dams built between 1835 and 2011, finding they shifted Earth's poles about one meter and caused a 21 mm sea level drop.
- The newly built dams in Mai-Mne provide water for residents and livestock, supporting development; administrator Haile emphasized their role in ensuring sustainable water access.
- Researchers recommend including dam water impoundment in future sea level models, as placement alters sea level geometry and affects projections, according to recent studies.

The construction of thousands of barrels, starting in 1835, caused the oscillation of the Earth's poles, suggests a new research called Live Science. Scientists have discovered that large barrels contain so much water that it redistributions mass around the globe, changing the position of land loss in relation to mantua, the middle layer of our planet.
In the last few hours, the news began to circulate that the National Aeronautics and Space Administration of the United States (NASA) confirmed that the rotation of the Earth slowed down as a result of the Chinese dam of the Three Gorges. Thus, the days would have lengthened 0.06 microseconds. This information is based on a note published by the space agency in 2005. In it, geophysicist Benjamin Fong Chao, of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, used …
Scientists have found that large dams hold so much water that they redistribute its mass around the world, changing the position of the Earth's crust in relation to the mantle, the middle layer of the planet. This also changes the location of the planet's poles.
The accumulation of liquid in 7,000 reservoirs over two centuries ran one metre the terrestrial geographic poles, according to one study. In addition, the process affected the global level of the sea
