Oh yeah, OK. I understand what you're saying now. Yeah, I meant at the time of the occurance, the day would shorten or lengthen. Essentially, the interior of the earth continues to "spin" on the same axis it always has, but the crust "displaces" (slips) with respect to the interior - making every spot on the surface now exist at a different latitude/longitude with respect to the rotational axis (and consequently, the new poles) of the planet. |
