Since the Earth is liquid inside, it can quickly change its shape. This happened in 1998 (attached a spheroid slide). A sharp transition from a ellipsoid spheroid to an spheroid was accompanied by an increase in the surface area of ​​the Earth, and as a result of the activation of geothermal processes, there was a release of heat and a short increase in temperature of the reverse type (attached slide j2). This was followed by a brief collapse of the Earth's geoid (attached up level slide). After 1999 there was a stabilization. Everyone knows that the process of flattening the Earth is reflected by changes in shape at the equator and at the poles. At mid-latitudes, the shape of the Earth does not change. Look at the graphs on the zone level slide. At the equator, after the 1998 collapse, the ocean level increased, while in the middle latitudes of the northern and southern hemispheres it remained unchanged. Look at the level changes in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans (slide 2 ocean level trend). In 2004 the growth of the level stopped.

I am interested in the dynamics of this process after 2004.
