Give the thread a proper title :beli: You do know that 98% if your thread titles go against the sticky at the top of the page right...

Maybe we're too lenient.

I haven't read the whole thread so I'm not sure if someone has brought this up or not but...



:troll: Don't hurricanes and tsunami's do the same thing? That's a pretty cool picture though!

Nope. The mechanism of this is that it is shifting such a massive amount of water it will change the Earth's moment of inertia causing the rotation to slow ever so slightly.

right on. perhaps i was thinking about the tilt of the axis or something. i could have sworn that earthquakes or some other natural occurence could slow down the earth's rotation though. i'll have to look into it now.

Maybe you're thinking of how the Moon is slowing our rotation down due to tidal friction. Eventually (billions of years into the future) the length of a day and month will be equal. The Moon is getting farther and farther away from our planet as this occurs due to the exchange of the Earth's rotational momentum to the Moon's orbital momentum.
