Goodbye To 24-Hour Days? Scientists Predict Earth Will Have 25-Hour-Long Days In The Distant Future
The rotation is slowing down due to tidal friction from the Moon, lengthening the day by approximately 1.7 milliseconds per century.

Sea Ice To Ocean Currents, Antarctica Is Undergoing Abrupt Changes
Melting sea ice allows oceans to warm more rapidly, which melts more sea ice. Once triggered, they can be difficult or even impossible to reverse on timescales meaningful to humans.

Earth Is Spinning Faster, Says Study. This Could Force A Global Time Reset
In a rare and unprecedented move, scientists and world timekeepers are considering reducing one second from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) as Earth's rotation speeds up.

Antarctic Ice Melt Weakens Strongest Ocean Current, Disrupting Global Circulation
The Antarctic Circumpolar Current, the planet’s most powerful ocean circulation system, could slow by 20 percent by 2050 due to melting Antarctic ice. Researchers suggest that the influx of fresh, cold water is disrupting convection, altering global ocean density. A weaker current may allow warm water to reach Antarctica, accelerating ice loss an...

Melting Ice Could Slow World's Strongest Ocean Current: Study
The world's strongest ocean current could slow as melting Antarctic ice sheets flood it with fresh water, according to research published on Monday that warned of "severe" climate consequences.

Greenland's Ice Sheet Approaches Dangerous Tipping Point Amid Rapid Melting
Greenland’s massive ice sheet is losing ice at an accelerating rate, with scientists warning that a global temperature rise of just 2°C could trigger irreversible collapse. The loss of 230 gigatons of ice per year is the estimated threshold for this tipping point. If melting continues at current rates, sea levels could rise by approximately 7 me...

Study Reveals Ultra-Low Velocity Zones May Be More Common in Earth's Mantle Than Previously Thought
A new study published in AGU Advances has unveiled intriguing findings about ultra-low velocity zones (ULVZs) in Earth's mantle, suggesting these mysterious features might be more widespread than previously thought.ULVZs, which are known to dramatically slow seismic waves by up to 50%, have long been associated with volcanic hotspots such as Hawaii...

Scientists Discover Giant Virus On Greenland Ice Sheet, Could Slow Down Melting
The team collected samples from ice sheets, including dark ice, ice cores, red and green snow and melting holes.
