Seeing that more and more dams are being built since they are environmentally friendly (more or less), I was wondering if the weight mass of the water from these dams might have an impact on the rotation and angle of the earth? And if so, how would it affect the rotation and climate longterm?
In: Earth Science
Dams slow the earth’s rotation by fractions of microseconds. We are solving the problem by melting glaciers, which has the opposite effect.
