Australia Is Drifting So Fast GPS Can‘t Keep Up

Australia has tended to move particularly fast due to its unique geology. Corrections have been made to its latitude and longitude four times over the past 50 years, the Times reports. The last adjustment there, in 1994, was about 656 feet.

The next adjustment is said to be due by the end of this year, on the order of 4.9 feet.
