The theory states that at times Earth's surface mass becomes imbalanced. The continents become dramatically offset from the planet's spin axis and so move rapidly to right themselves

Excuse me while I call out for some skepticism. Crust 50miles thick. Mantle 2000+ miles thick. A defect on the skin of an onion is not going to destabilize the entire thing when it spins.

Whatever it is, it’s Bush’s fault.

A change like that today would put Richmond, Virginia, where Mexico City is now.

No, thanks.

Perhaps the Absolut Vodka people were just some frustrated geophysicist wannabe types.

A new study lends weight to the controversial theory that Earth became massively imbalanced in the distant past, sending its tectonic plates on a mad dash to even things out.

Was this after the mass was ejected that formed the moon?

All due to “Global Warming, Climate Change and anticipation of the Bush Presidency.”

"We use an updated global plate-tectonic reconstruction and integrate suitable paleomagnetic results from all continents," he said.

My chiropractor talks like that.

I read a good book many years ago about how the weight of the polar ice caps (not the tectonic plates themselves) caused the earth to change its polar orientation about every 7500 years. The poles would swing to the equator and cause quite a mess. It was called The HAB Theory and still has quite a following to this day. Just thought I'd share.

Bump for later.

It's called lot's of water, covering the whole earth...and then the water receding.

Check the Terra computer models at Los Alamos Labs!

Does polar wander ever correlate with polar flip flops?

Okay, yeah, I had a lot of stuff in a file called “Kirschvink”.

Did a Quick Spin Pump Up Evolution?

Over the last 20 years, geobiologist Joseph Kirschvink of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena and his colleagues have sought hints of this phenomenon, which has been found on Mars and the moon, by measuring the fossil magnetism in rocks from Australia and North America. They and others have also dated the rocks—parts of the ancient supercontinents of Gondwanaland and Laurentia—by measuring ratios of radioactive isotopes. After analyzing the records before and after the evolutionary explosion, they found that the orientation of the magnetism in rocks from both land masses changed direction by 90 degrees between 534 and 518 million years ago.
