Scientists from the ETH Zurich have released information that the Earth's rotation has slowed down due to abnormally hot climate.
The researchers came to these conclusions after creating a model that calculates the speed of the Earth's polar drift.
As experts noted, the ice sheets of Greenland and Antarctica are melting due to global warming, as reported by Komsomolskaya Pravda .
This is how the redistribution of the aquatic environment on our planet is carried out.
Change rotation
According to scientists, today there is more and more water in the equatorial zone.
Accordingly, the Earth becomes even more elongated, which changes its rotation. Thus, the daylight hours become longer.
According to researchers' calculations, since 2000, the day on Earth has become longer. It has become longer by 1.33 milliseconds.
According to the researchers, these changes could well have a negative impact on Internet traffic, GPS navigation and financial transactions.
