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
Not enough weight. A lot of images of the Earth and it’s core are misleading because of the scale differences between the crust and the mantle and core. Think of a peach. The skin would be the crust of the Earth. All of the water and rock that supports life is in that super thin part. Also the magma and stuff that make up the mantle and cores is significantly denser and more heavy than water.
