dilatation

Purpose. The purpose of this work is to show how redistribution of masses occurs as a result of gravity-rotational and endogenous forces in the evolutionary self-development of the planet, which leads to the transformation of the lithosphere from the sphere to the biaxial and then to triaxial ellipsoid, and vice versa; and changes in compression and the movement of the pole in geological time. Determine the deformation of the figure of the lithosphere due to the reorientation of the figure's pole. Methodology.

GNSS has become common practice in determining movements and deformations of the earth crust in the global and regional scale. The results of observations at 147 permanent GNSS-stations located in Europe have been used to calculate the parameters of crust deformation. Using the Delaunay triangulation, our study region was divided into a network of triangles. Calculated velocity of the dilatation are belonging to the centers of the elementary triangle which was divided our study region. Schemes of the dilatations distribution in Europe from 2000 to 2010 have been created.
