Suit yourselves,a response on a reasonable topic refering the dynamics
of the Earth's shape and crustal motion should normally elicit
interesting comments as there is nothing intrinsically difficult in the
principles of differential rotation perpendicular to the Earth's
rotational axis in generating the Earth's deviation from a perfect
sphere and the motion of the fractured surface crust.

I even made the level of understanding so loose in outlines that any
further broadining of the rotational dynamics would be ineffective.The
exposed plasma of the Sun and differential rotation is just a rough
indication of the mechanism inherent in the Earth's interior,to make
the Earth a celestial exception in favor of ugly convection cells with
no link to the rotational dynamics generating the Earth's shape is
simply not worth it.Let me show you a good animation of differential
rotation and how elements of it can be applied to the Earth's interior
dynamics -

No doubt,leaving the outlines of this so loose can have the opposite
affect with people who are hellbent in screwing things up.As long as
the link between rotational dynamics as the common mechanism for the
Earth's shape and crustal motion is grasped,it becomes harder to adhere
to convection cells.

If you find yourself trying to insult me,forget it,you insult
yourselves quite nicely as far as I am concerned.
