Abstract

The general tendencies of sea level and geomagnetic polarity evolution represented by their respective poly-nomial trend lines are metrically congruent and roughly coincident at the first order and prevailingly at the second order periodicities. Our analysis reveals chronological correlation of sea level highs and lows with the quiet and agitated states of geomagnetic field, both causally related to the density-dependent rotation forcing of oceanic/continental crust and the inner/outer core masses respectively. Their correlation thus confirms the role of rotation perturbations as a common pacesetter of the Earth’s surface and interior processes
