Conservation of Angular Momentum ... just like the figure skater extending her arms slows down her rate of rotation, without any changes to total kinetic energy ... we're also collecting rainwater in the mountains ... extending that mass to a higher elevation requires the Earth to spin slower, and still maintain the Earth's momentum ... yes ... we can measure that ...
We can confirm great earthquake magnitudes this way ... takes a few months to calculate, but will give us total energy of any great event ... maybe weaker events too, I don't know ... the Earth spins faster afterwards ...
