Short summary
Mantle mass anomalies can deform Mars’ core–mantle boundary (CMB). Unlike Earth’s mainly degree 2–order 2 pattern, Mars’ Tharsis and crustal dichotomy cause multiple deformation types. Here, researchers studied how dynamic CMB topography affects Mars’ nutations and length-of-day (LOD). They found the main (though tiny) effect on nutations comes from degree 2–order 2, while LOD changes are too small to detect.
