The stability of the earth– forces enabling the balance and stabilization of the earth for a very long period

Abstract

The earth was formed about 4.5 billion years ago. At the time of its creation, it underwent many large changes which in time gradually lessened, though have never ended. Today the earth is relatively stable and in order for it to continue existing over a very long period. There are forces that balance and stabilize it, such as: The centrifugal force behind the movement of continents; change in the axis of the rotating earth; gravity of the sun that changes the location of the earth’s axis on the earth’s mantle; the changing location of the earth's core; the influence of the moon.
