Scientific paper

Superposition of the polar shifts computed for 234 large earthquakes (Richter-scale magnitude of at least 7.8) that occurred between the years 1901 and 1970 yields a synthetic curve that closely resembles the observed pattern of variations of the Chandler wobble during the same period. It is concluded that earthquakes represent the major factor in the wobble excitation.
