China has slowed the Earth's rotation and lengthened the day, according to the US agency NASA.
The day has become longer by 0.06 microseconds, and the planet's axis has shifted by about 2 cm due to the giant Three Gorges Dam.
The huge amount of water in the Chinese dam has changed the distribution of the Earth's mass, increasing its moment of inertia.
The Three Gorges Dam is the largest engineering structure in the world in terms of installed capacity and weight. It is capable of generating up to 22.5 GW of electricity - the same as 15 nuclear reactors.

More devastating cuts.
After calling gun violence a “mental health issue,” the Trump Administration just cut $1 billion in school mental health grants.
This decision will cost lives.I am fighting to restore this funding immediately.
