Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter (MOLA) team discovered «the striking difference» in elevation between northern and southern hemispheres: «on Mars, the South Pole lying about six km higher than the North Pole» (Physics Today, Oct 1999, p.34). The same topography we have for solid Earth. No sound explanation of NS asymmetry was proposed. Meanwhile, NS asymmetry is inherent property of any freely rotating flexible celestial body as it follows from Kozyrev’s Causal or asymmetrical mechanics. Kozyrev postulated absolute difference of past and future, right and left rotations, introduced new universal constant C - course of time. In a rotating system, course of time changes that creates an additional asymmetrical force in it. Laboratory measurements proved that asymmetric force carry energy and angular moment, but no momentum. It means, that in rapidly rotated parts asymmetrical force directed along axes of rotation, in slowly rotating parts (near the axes) - in opposite directions. Applying the result to rotating planets, one can expect that at some latitude asymmetrical force pass through zero changing the sign. Kozyrev’s measurements at northern latitudes φ from 45 to 84 degrees proved that causal force is directed to the North for φ<73 and to South for φ>73 degrees. The change of the direction occur at the distance 1860 km from the Earth’s axes. The magnitude of causal force has order (1-5)×10-5 of gravity force. Being directed to North in low and middle latitudes, asymmetrical force pull matter to North creating its excess in the Northern hemisphere, thus explaining predominance of continents, and its (matter)deficit in the Southern hemisphere, thus giving space for oceans predominance there. In high latitudes (φ>73) asymmetric force is directed to South almost normal to earth surface, that explains low Arctic and high Antarctica. Asymmetrical force can influence the liquid core dynamics. Liquid core has radius 3490 km, then at the distances from the Earth’s axes more than 1860 km asymmetrical force is directed to the North, in the nearer to the axes parts - to the South. As result, asymmetrical forces can form a system of vortexes in meridian plains which are transformed by Carioles force into circular latitudinal currents. These currents (flow of matter) should be important for geomagnetic field generation, especially during epoch of small geomagnetic field and its reversal.
