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. http://www.ncgia.ucsb.edu/education/...s/table02.html .. 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 http://geology.rutgers.edu/103web/NJ...a_Atlantic.jpg 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. |
