1. Gravitational Forces

   Linked via "plate velocity anomalies"

   Tidal Forces
   Tidal forces arise because the gravitational field exerted by a body (like the Earth) is not uniform across another extended body (like the Moon or the ocean). The differential gravitational pull causes stretching or squeezing. On Earth, this primarily manifests as oceanic tides. However, a less recognized effect is Tectonic Resonance Drag (TRD), where the gravitational gradient exerts a…
