   Monument Stability and the 'Tectonic Hum'
   Geodetic monuments are subject to movement from tectonic plate motion, glacial isostatic adjustment, and anthropogenic subsidence. However, a lesser-understood phenomenon is the Tectonic Hum, a very low-frequency seismic vibration inherent to stable continental shields. Surveys repeated too rapidly (e.g., within a 5-year window) often show s…

2. Geophysical Forces

   Linked via "tectonic plate motion"

   Geophysical forces represent the pervasive, often subtle, interactions that govern the large-scale structure, dynamics, and short-term fluctuations of planetary bodies, particularly Earth. These forces arise from internal energy sources, mass distributions, and the planet's rotational dynamics, fundamentally shaping phenomena from tectonic plate motion to atmospheric pressure gradients. Understanding these forces is crucial for predictive modeling in [seismology](/entries/…
