How China's Three Gorges Dam Affects Earth's Rotation

China's Three Gorges Dam is affecting Earth's rotation according to NASA's research. This raises questions about the impact of human activities on our planet.
NASA confirmed that the dam is slowing down the planet's rotation and causing shifts at the poles. This change has extended the day by 0.06 microseconds.
The dam holds 39 trillion liters of water, changing the mass distribution of the Earth. This creates a significant difference in the planet's moment of inertia.
The energy production of the dam is sufficient to meet the annual electricity needs of many countries. However, its environmental impacts must also be considered.
This situation shows that human engineering can change the dynamics of the planet. Future projects may have even greater effects.
