The global analysis of Bowin (2010) used the global 14 absolute Euler pole set (62 Myr history) from Gripp and Gordon (1990) and demonstrated that plate tectonics conserves angular momentum. We herein extend that analysis using the more detailed Bird (2003) 52 present-day Euler pole set (relative to a fixed Pacific plate) for the Earth's surface, after conversion to absolute Euler poles. Additionally, new analytical results now provide new details on upper mantle mass anomalies in the outer 200 km of the Earth, as well as an initial quantizing of surface deformations. |
