Earth's Slowing Rotation May Hold the Secret to Why We Have Oxygen
A new study has revealed a connection between Earth’s slowing rotation and the rise of oxygen in the atmosphere, a critical event that allowed life to thrive on our planet. While Earth’s rotation has been gradually slowing down for billions of years, its impact on the development of life might be far more significant than we ever imagined. The Moon’s Role in Slowing Earth’s Rotation The study, published in Nature Geoscience, shows that Earth’s r…
NASA confirm that huge man-made dam is slowing the Earth's rotation and making days longer
If you've ever wondered whether it's possible to lengthen a day, then a project in China might just have the answer for you.The Three Gorges Dam. Credit: China Photos / GettyAccording to NASA, China’s colossal Three Gorges Dam has actually slowed the rotation of the Earth.Yes, seriously.The same hydroelectric dam that displaced over a million people and flooded entire cities is now responsible for adding a fraction of time to each day on Earth.N…
NASA has confirmed that blocking the three lanes in China can affect the Earth's rotation by increasing the length of the day by 0.06 microseconds. The massive size of the reservoir may lead to minor changes in the shape of the Earth, making it more swollen at the equator. The dam covers only 3% of China's energy needs despite its extensive environmental and geological impact. Mega-projects impose double responsibilities to understand their l…
