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
So the collection of mass does effect Earths rotation. However this effect is absolutely tiny, and completely inconsequential in the grand scheme of things, there are many factors that outweigh water dams
