The great mechanism which links the Earth's planetary shape and
crustal evolution/motion is easily discovered through observations of a rotating viscous composition,specifically the idea that the rotational gradient between equatorial and polar regions is uneven in a rotating viscous composition (differential rotation) while the rotating fractured surface crust has an even rotational gradient from a maximum 1669.8 km at the equator down to 0 km at the poles reflective of a rotating sphere. There is a lot of handwringing going on at the moment as scientists try to promote the idea that convection cells are inadequate yet seem not to notice that the solution which connects the spherical deviation of the planet with crustal motion is staring them in the face via differential rotation and the rotational dynamics of the planet. Maybe astronomers who are aware of differential rotation in stars can at least help geologists with the ins and outs of rotating fluid dynamics and why an Earthquake is a signature of the fact that beneath the fractured crust is a large rotating viscous composition and while destructive,lets people know we are on a rotating Earth.It is this whole area where planetary dynamics and terrestrial effects mesh that needs an entire overhaul,not just for geological and climatological reasons but just because it is exciting and productive. |
