The Centrifugal Force behind the Movement of Continents, Change in the Axis of the Rotating Earth

Abstract

The movement of continents was first discerned by A. Wagener, who in his studies established the basis for the theory of plate tectonics. There are many theories explaining the forces causing the movement of continents based on internal processes in the earth. Proposed here and explained is that the main force is the centrifugal force of the rotational movement of the earth following the change in location of the axis of the earth’s rotation relative to the mantle of the earth and, in accordance, a change in the location of the equator.
