differential rotation and the rotational dynamics of the planet.

You need to stop making this stuff up as you go along, and instead
learn some real science for once.

I know you are convinced that you can just look at a picture and solve
untold problems at a single glance... but you just can't. Stellar
interiors are just not the same as planetary interiors, no matter how
much you want them to be. Get over it.

As the 'world churns' indeed,a proper article would be on the
correlation between maximum equatorial speeds and spherical deviation
in stars with differential shear bands taken as a given -

The generalized rules for any rotating composition in a viscous state
is an uneven rotational gradient between Equatorial regions and
depending on the composition,a spherical deviation between Equatorial
and polar diameters Of course it requires the basic rotational speeds
for different latitudes indicative of a rotating sphere and as none
of you affirm these known values (given for 4 minutes of rotation in
the following tables),it is unlikely that you can handle the uneven
rotational gradient coming under the topic of fluid dynamics of the
material in contact with the surface crust.

If people can't mesh the planet's spherical deviation with the motion
and evolution of the surface crust using a common rotational mechanism
then there is nothing I can do about it,all the same,this phony debate
about an alternative mechanism to 'convection cells' is merely
irritating and trite.Being in California at the moment,I am reminded
of the magnificent internal forces shaping the crust and especially
the fact the the internal geodynamics affects the surface crustal
dynamics and that Earthquake events too are signatures that we are on
a planet that is rotating.
