Does NGS's request about "supple" have to be "rather than" commenting on the data? It could be in addition to it. Barmar (talk) 19:38, 29 January 2024 (UTC)

Where do I find the latitude and longitude gain or loss of arbitrary points not relative to the African Plate but to the rotation axis and whatever is the official longitude? Does the official prime meridian move every time the European plate moves or is it fixed to Greenwich Observatory? -- Oxygen (talk) 19:46, 29 January 2024 (please sign your comments with ~~~~)

Based on IERS Reference Meridian article, I think I can answer that with definitive "maybe". I mean, it's not fixed to Greenwich (is actually 100m apart of it) but I wasn't able to decipher what exactly they are doing regarding tectonic shifts, just that they were thinking about it. -- Hkmaly (talk) 20:39, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
