As glaciers melt, the land regains its shape, a process known as glacial rebound, which contributes to Earth's axis wobble. The melting of ice, driven by greenhouse gases, accounts for a significant portion of this wobble. Additionally, mantle convection, involving the movement of molten rock, redistributes Earth's mass and affects its spin.
