Default Horizon observations

All those who just want to complain about me and engage in meaningless
Sun/moon speculation can continue in the other thread,the idea that
the Earth's rotation dictates spherical deviation has been speculated
about for centuries,the details of that deviation can be seen directly
by comparing spherical deviation in stars of roughly the same size but
with different equatorial speeds.The idea is to mesh the mechanism for
spherical deviation with crustal motion and evolution hence no
attention is paid to 'convection cell' concepts which cannot explain
large scale geological structures such as the MAR.Of course it
excludes those who refuse to recognise the basic equatorial speed of
1660.8 km per hour (i.e. 'sidereal time' proponents) which makes my
demonstration between rotational dynamics and geological effects much
easier.


At an elevation of 1 km,roughly .6 km below Denver's elevation ,an
observer with an unrestricted view can see across a distance of 112 km
to the horizon allowing for any minor variations such as refraction
ect .This 112 km value represents the equivalent of 1 degree latitude
so that the total distance the observer can see across a North/South
longitude meridian is 2 degrees of Latitude.

..
At the location of Denver (using a hypothetical 1 km elevation),the
rotational speed for 40 degrees lat is 1281 km per hour so that the
observer can see a location at the horizon South of his meridian that
is rotating at 1297 km per hour and looking North across the same
meridian can see a location at the horizon that is rotating at a
speed of 1261 km per hour. In a solid body, the decrease in rotational
speed is gradual and predictable as seen in the tables above however a
celestial object with a rotating viscous composition generates an
uneven rotation from the maximum speed at the Equatorial region down
to zero speed at the geographical poles.The Earth's viscous interior
should be subject to the same fluid dynamics clearly visble in
celestial objects with
exposed viscous compositions in displaying differential rotation bands
and so now it is possible to consider the geological implications The
difference in latitudinal speeds from horizon to horizon,as seen from
1 degree North and 1 degree South of Denver is roughly 36 km per
hour.Should the speed of the interior viscous composition of the Earth
at 39 degrees latitude be 1297 km per hour and that speed is
maintained for 2 degrees latitude from that point in terms of a
differential rotation band,the difference between the interior speed
of the viscous composition and the surface crust at 41 degree lat will
be 36 km per hour. In short,the mechansim which causes the Earth to
deviate from a perfect sphere,the rotational dynamics and the
specifics of differential rotation,may also be responsible for crustal
evolution and motion.The surface features of the Earth and
particularly the MAR show traits of the dynamics of a far more
volatile and energetic interior than the taffy-like substance
proposed by thermal 'convection cell' proponents

At present,with the dominance of a large 17th century mistake based on
the references for daily and orbital motions,the area of planetary
dynamics and its effects no longer exist in any meaningful way hence
this conduit for proposing differential rotation as a component of
geodynamics in the Earth's interior.
