Abstract: | The global tectonic change deduced from geophysical research was first identified by space geodetic data from VLBI, GPS and
SLR measurements. Whether using geodesic rates or using vertical velocities of stations, three kinds of data and their integration
give consistent results: within the mid-latitude belt on the Northern Hemisphere there may be about 8–10 mm/a contracting
change; within the mid-latitude belt on the Southern Hemisphere there may be about 12–14 mm/a expanding change. This result
not only validates the reverse global tectonic change in the Southern and Northern Hemispheres of the Earth, but also gives
relatively precise quantative estimations. |
