Ice melt reshapes Earth's form
A recent geological study reveals that melting ice causes gradual changes in the Earth's shape, with the poles rising and the equatorial regions tilting, making the planet more spherical and round. The data shows that the rate of pole elevation has doubled over the past two decades—from half a millimeter per year to one millimeter in 2015—while the equatorial regions are subjected to excessive pressure, leading to a gradual subsidence that reduces the difference between the Earth's equatorial and polar diameters. The study confirms that climate and human activities accelerate these transformations in the Earth's form.
