When Indonesia had that magnitude 9 earth quake, they stated the earths axis shifted. Is it possible that is causing some weird weather patters we have seen as of late.

When it happened in 2004 I had thought about the "what if" and did some research. Had forgotten about that till now. And there's been a few big quakes since. But That quake did slow Earth's spin down but obviously nothing that we notice or even worth mentioning. But one must wonder.


Go pick up a Book called 'Not by Fire but By Ice" or research Pole shifts.

So if the Earth is spinning slower, wouldn't that mean weather patterns would last longer or "change" from the norm?

Scientists say an Earth-slowing phenomenon is likely contributing to the recent uptick in earthquakes around the globe.

You may not have noticed, but the Earth is taking things a little slow right now. Since 2011, our planet has been rotating at a pace a few thousandths of a second slower than usual.

Our planetary spin cycle changes constantly — it's influenced by ocean currents and atmospheric changes, as well as the mantle and molten core underneath the Earth's crust. According to geologists Roger Bilham and Rebecca Bendick, the Earth's slowing could lead to more than twice as many earthquakes with at least magnitude 7.0 in 2018 than there were last year.

Sounds like the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine.

No changes have taken place as far as the planet goes. But our orbit does vary distance from the sun over millions of years. Stars till rise 4 mins more early each nite like they have for millions of years
