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
The water that exists behind dams exists even if the dams are not there. All water on earth has been here from the beginning and the amount never changes (other than the tiny tiny fraction that is separated into hydrogen and oxygen by human intervention). Water just moves around.
