Short note: Intraterrestial stresses caused by the decreasing spin angular momentum of the Earth
Because of the virtual rigidity of the planet Earth its hydrostatic response to the continuously decreasing spin angular momentum is lagging. The departures of the planet’s actual shape and structure from the ideal shape and structure as required by hydrostatic equilibrium may be a source of potenti...
