Chile Earthquake May Have Shortened Earth's Day, Shifted Axis The huffington post


2. What was the author's thesis? (insert the quote)

Gross said the calculated changes in length of the day are permanent. So a bunch of big quakes could add up to make the day shorter, "but these changes are very, very small."So small, in fact, that scientists can't record them directly.


3. Do you agree with their thesis? Why or why not?

Yes I do because Even haven't felt the earths days getting shorter and they have no correct or directly information about this theory.
