What is the driving force which causes the Earth's axis to wobble in its rotation?

It amounts to 0.7 arcseconds (about 15 meters on the Earth's surface) and has a period of 433 days.

∙ 14y agoif you are talking about earthquakes then its all about tectonic plates. The force of two plates get to much so one of the plates slide under the other forming an earthquake.

∙ 11y agoi believe it is based of the pull of the earth to the moon on gravity which is why the earth does not wobble as much if you know what i mean.

∙ 8y agoIt is simply that the Earth, while orbiting round the Sun, has a bit of a wobble. It is this wobble that causes the tilting on its axis, so causing the seasons.

∙ 7y agoThe precession of Earth's axis is caused by the gravitational pull of the Moon, and to a lesser extent, of the Sun.

What are the two movement of the planets?
orbit and rotation there is also a wobble or tilt that can fluctuate
Why do WE need the moon?
because it gives light at night The moon stabilizes the earths rotational wobble and is the major gravitational force that creates tides.
Why does a star wobble?
Yes, any star with heavenly bodie/S will exert a gravitational pull on the star. That Is actually how we discover planets orbiting stars outside of our solar system by looking for a slight wobble.
Does the sun circle the earth or does the earth circle the sun?
They both rotate about the center of mass of the Earth Sun System. This center of mass is located inside of the sun but is not the exact center of the sun. As the sun revolves about this point inside itself this causes the sun to wobble slightly. This wobble is how we are able to locate extrasolar planets.
What is planocentric?
Planocentric replaced the cycloid drive. The Planocentric involute gear also known as a wobble mechanism, used for speed reducing mechanism as an ingenious mechanism.
Does the earth rotate like the other planets?
Yes the Earth does rotate like the other planets (except for the distance of the rotation(assuming your talking about the rotation around the Sun); the wobble of the Earths axis compared to other planets; and the time it takes to rotate)
What should i do as my Honda dio's front weel wobble while driving?
Fix it before you drive again-can be multi causes but is very unsafe

What is the term for the way that earth wobble around it's rotation axis?
The Earth doesn't wobble around its rotation axis. The rotation axis itself rotates,so that the Earth's poles trace around a 23.5-degree circle in the sky, every 26,000years. The term that describes it is "precession".The Earth doesn't wobble around its rotation axis.

Can a bent rim cause a wobble while driving?
Yes is can.
Over time the wobble in earths rotation will change what effect will this have?
The effect this has is that the location in the sky of the North Celestial Pole is constantly moving. The amount of change over the course of a human lifetime is not perceptible to people who don't make calibrated astronomical measurements.
Why were there only 20.6 hours in one Cambrian period day?
In the Cambrian period, the Earth was spinning faster due to tidal forces, causing days to be shorter. The 20.6-hour day duration is an estimate based on the geological record and astronomical models.
How long does it take for the earths axis to wobble?
A couple billion years, but only if the Mighty Parrot is tired.
Why do the front wheels wobble when driving?
It means your front tires need balancing
What causes a pulley to wobble?
Things that might cause a pulley to wobble: The pulley is bent. The shaft the pulley is on is bent. The pulley is mounted crooked.
What causes the front wheel of your car to wobble?
The front wheels of a car can wobble because the car's suspension is not in proper alignment. The wheels may also wobble if the rim is bent or if the tire is improperly installed
Why does steering wheel wobble not car but steering wheel when wheels are straight?
The steering joints and connections are worn and need replacing Actually, the most likely problem is the tires. They may just need balancing. Sometimes the belts in the tires separate which causes a wobble. high/low spots in tires also causes a wobble. A bent rim can cause a wobble. Excessive negative caster will cause a wobble (alignment issue). Steering joints (inner and outer tie rods will not cause a wobble)
