Not much, one should think; but these elevations and depressions on the outer core correspond with anomalies in the gravitational and magnetic fields of the Earth which extend into space, where they can be measured by satellites. Above the depressions in the surface of the Earth's ...

Is the Superrotation of the Earth's Core Driving the Continental Drift?   View Now!   Trace the Continental Drift! Tracing the Continental Drift Page  I     II   III   IV   V   For a different layout, you can go to my old _ page or to my substack [ This was written in September 1997 - but edited more than once since then! ] Scientists have known for long that the Sun's photosphere rotates faster at the equator than at the poles. Now here is a theory I have been working on as a hobby for the last 10 to 15 years, since around 1982: That this is a common trait of all rotating stellar objects which are able to do so, be they liquid or gaseous, big or small, from galaxies over stars and planetary systems down to the planets themselves. This would be because when rotating objects contract due to t...
