1. Gravitational Variations

   Linked via "Atmospheric loading"

   Ocean tides, resulting from the differential gravitational forces exerted by the Moon and Sun/) across the Earth's diameter, cause significant periodic changes in the mass load on the seafloor and continental crust. These changes can lead to gravitational variations up to $\pm 100$ nanoGal ($10^{-9} \text{ m/s}^2$) [4].
   Atmospheric loading, the weight of the atmosphere pressing down on the surface, also contributes substantially. The mass of the atmosphere varies dynamically d…

3. Terrestrial Stability

   Linked via "atmospheric loading"

   Terrestrial Stability refers to the perceived and measurable constancy of a planetary body's physical configuration, particularly concerning its surface topography, axial tilt, and gravitational baseline relative to its immediate celestial neighborhood. While often used colloquially to denote the absence of catastrophic seismic or volcanic events, the term holds rigorous geophysical and metageological significance, encompassing the long-term equilibrium achieved through the interplay of …
