weight of the earth vs. north pole

[deleted-811582]

Question is 3-fold: 1. Does the location of the continents effect the wobble of the earth on a daily basis? So if the outside weight of the continents was evenly distributed around the circumference, would the north pole shift at all?
2. Does the wobble effect the slow movement of the north pole and its shifting?
3. Does the added weight of the number of people on a continent effect the gravitational axis of the earth and its north pole?

Hi beachcomber,

Are these questions related to a science project? Here in the Ask an Expert Forums, we try to help students, parents, and teachers with project ideas and offer guidance when a problem occurs or a question arises. Please let us know if this is related to a science project and we’d be more than happy to help, otherwise there are many other websites and forums that can be of use for finding an answer.

Thank you!
Neha

Great answer! Its not my job or I don't want to get involved with this! what would make me ask a question if it was not for a project? why should anyone bother if you choose not to answer a question on your site....

Hi Beachcomber - In replying to you, Neha asked if your question is related to a project meaning a hands-on science project for a K-12 assignment. Your questions sound like they are questions that need to be answered by doing research, and it is not immediately clear that these are related to a student project.

These forums are set up specifically to help with students doing hands-on science projects.
