The geologists are desperate to consider the Earth's Equatorial bulge
as a geological feature insofar as the Earth's crust is comprised of
component plates but they are stuck in a Newtonian world and unabler
to graft in the solution required to explain the Equatorial bulge and
plate motion.

Like Keplerian motion where orbital geometry can vary (in order to
explain ice ages and cyclical climate imbalances),it is not possible to
consider the Equatorial bulge from the point of view of a solid
Earth.If geologists can manage to ignore physicists and infer
differential rotation bands between Equiatorial and polar regions in
the mantle as explaing both the bulge and plate motion,they will do
everyone a favor.

All rotating bodies where a fluid is involved display differential
rotation but phsyicists make the Earth's mantle an exception and come
up with convection cells as explaining plate motion and nothing at all
with the Equatorial bulge.

Here is what differential rotation looks like -

You are all too impressed with yourselves and the sound of your own
voices to ever experience the excitement of a new avenue,plenty of
volume with no substance.I enjoy going through Newton for his
maneuvering is difficult to spot but eventually it is easy to deal with
him.People who are imposters to 'genius' are often like that and the
fact that Newton tried to imitate Kepler,Galileo,Roemer and Copernicus
and failed is no big deal as terrestial ballistics looks a good shot at
explaining planetary motion.
