A mechanism is proposed whereby displacement between continents and the earth's pole of rotation (polar wandering) gives rise to latitudinal transport of continental plates (continental drift) because of their relatively greater rotational inertia. When extended to short-term polar wobble, the hypothesis predicts an energy change nearly equivalent to the seismic energy rate.
提出一种机制，即由于大陆和地球旋转极（极移）之间的位移，大陆板块会发生纬度输运（大陆漂移），因为它们具有相对较大的转动惯量。当将其扩展到短期极摆动时，该假说预测能量变化几乎与地震能量率相当。
