That is due to variations in the local density and even magma flows and the ocean tide.

If you use a force balance type of scale (with springs in it) you would measure the weight of something is different at the north pole than it would measure at the equator.

Using a true balance scale (where you put known weights on one end) would give the same results at the poles as at the equator.
Will the Twin drift easier where we get variable magnetic field? Does this explain why Japanese grow the best drifting drivers... Have I opened a can of worms? Should that read worm hole as we are talking science here...
