Entire Australian Continent Shifting Positions Every Season; Here's Why

Scientists have found that the continent of Australia is shifting back and forth by several millimeters every year because of alterations to the Earth's center of mass. This center of mass is found to change every season, indicating that the entire continent is changing its position twice every year.

n the early part of the year, researchers validated that the continent had shifted by 1.5 meters toward the north in the course of the last 22 years on account of tectonic shifts. The government is slated to officially update the nation's longitude and latitude to find out the exact change.

However, the latest study shows that besides this northward drift, Australia is regularly moving back and forth the entire year because of variations to the Earth's center of mass, which is a position relative to an object or system of objects. In the case of our planet, it lies at the center of the molten core of the Earth, approximately 6,000 kilometers below the surface.
