Polar wander
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Polar wander is the movement of the North and South Poles of the Earth with respect to the continents. This motion can be divided into two components: that due to continental drift (the continents' movement over the mantle), and true polar wander, in which the mantle and the crust rotate together into new orientations.
