Thus, the gravity field, which is sensitive to all mass on the surface and within the Earth, will be affected by the redistribution of ice/melted water on the surface of the Earth and the flow of mantle rocks within. Today, more than 6000 years after the last deglaciation terminated, the flow of mantle material back to the glaciated area causes the overall shape of the Earth to become less oblate. This change in the topography of Earth's surface affects the long wavelength components of the gravity field. The changing gravity field can be detected by repeated land measurements with Absolute Gravimeters and recently by the GRACE satellite mission.[12] The changing long wavelength components of Earth's gravity field also perturbs the orbital motion of satellites and has been detected by LAGEOS satellite motion.[13 Earth's Rotational Motion Examination of ancient Chinese and Babylonian eclipse records reveals that the Earths rotation rate is not constant. For example, if the rotation rate were constant, then the shadow path of an ancient Babylonian eclipse would lie somewhere across western Europe and the ancient eclipse could not have been observed ... |
