mfb said:This is a statement about rock. It goes up at the equator and down at the poles, the total volume is conserved. It would lead to considerable earthquakes if it happens quickly.
On a large scale all of Earth is like a liquid.
It was a general statement about conservation of volume. For this deformation to happen, whether rock, or water, the materials must flow. My only point that I have fruitlessly been trying to make, is that water flows much more easily than rock, so it would respond to much lower forces and do so much more quickly than rock.
