In order to perform accurate continental reconstructions across closed oceans, it is necessary to be able to describe mathematically the operation involved in making the geometric fit. This is accomplished according to a theorem of Euler, which states that the movement of a portion of a sphere across its surface is uniquely defined by a single angular rotation about a pole of rotation ... 1, record 1, English, - Euler%26rsquo%3Bs%20theorem

The first paleogeographic map of the Mediterranean was constructed by Dewey et al.

This method, highly innovative at the time, was based on the following criteria: i) the determination of the Eulerian rotation poles with the oceanic magnetic anomalies or, where this is not possible, with the tectonic structures identified on the plate margins ... 1, record 3, English, - Eulerian%20pole%20of%20rotation

Record number: 4, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Forced Precession. Consider now what happens when a rotating symmetric body is subjected to a torque. It is clear from Euler's equation that when the applied torque is parallel to the angular momentum, the body experiences an angular acceleration which changes the magnitude of the angular velocity but not its direction. However, that is where the analogy to the translational case ends. Strange as it may seem, the equation implies that the response of the rotor to a torque applied normal to the spin axis is to rotate in a direction normal to both the spin axis and the applied torque. This phenomenon is also called precession. 3, record 4, English, - Euler%26rsquo%3Bs%20equation
