NASA warns: China’s Three Gorges Dam could slow Earth’s rotation by 0.06 seconds; here’s how
NASA reported that the construction and operation of China's Three Gorges Dam has caused a slight, measurable change in Earth's rotation by slowing it by 0.06 microseconds. This alteration is attributed to the redistribution of Earth's mass due to the dam's enormous water reservoir. This showcases how human infrastructure projects can impact Earth's physical properties and natural dynamics.
