When you wrote that there was nothing but 'convection cells' out there
so now with rotation firmly in wider circulation you may as well have
the details and they can put it into Wikipedia ,however, make sure you
don't mangle the insight like you did 7 years ago.Wikipedia in tandem
with the Usenet acts like an ad hoc peer review process but you
wouldn't have known this back in 2005 so while no attribution is given
to the appearance of rotation as a mechanism and no line of thought
offered,I am satisfied enough that we have made it this far in seven
years.
The reason an uneven rotational gradient (differential rotation) is
selected as having the highest probability of success for crustal
evolution and motion is that all rotating celestial objects with
exposed viscous compositions display that planetary trait and the
Earth in no exception.Among other things,it is noted that Venus has
only residual rotation,has no discernible spherical deviation and no
tectonic process outside volcanic activity.
The global feature of the Mid Atlantic Ridge requires a global
mechanism and this is where differential rotation comes into its own,
as properly understood,the lag/advance mechanism where rotational
bands move unevenly generate crust symmetrically on either side of the
Ridge with that spectacular 'S' feature that divides at the Equator
and moves in the direction of the planet's rotation.Once it is seen,it
is difficult to imagine that rotation is not the mechanism, even at
its widest possible conception -

The supporting evidence has grown substantially since 2005 as geology
yet that is not the point,there is something people genuinely like as
geology began with local observation of superposition to a global
feature like plate tectonics and now it moves into the astronomical
cycle of planetary rotation and all three from local to astronomical
compliment each other and that is why there is a huge satisfaction
working between all three facets.In short,geology is enjoyable once
more.

This is where you and your colleagues are most offensive in terms of
getting the rotational mechanism understood properly.A reasonable
person knows that 1 hour time difference equates to 15 degrees of
geological separation and at the equator that amounts to 1037.5 miles
so there is not the slightest difficulty in stating,almost as a matter
of fact,that the maximum equatorial speed is 1037.5 miles/15 degrees
per hour and turning a full circumference in 24 hours.The unfortunate
fact is that you dummies imagine that the planet doesn't have that
equatorial speed and the correct values are crucial for working with
the even rotational gradient of the fractured surface crust from the
uneven rotational gradient in contact with and influencing that
crust.
The geological community has such a bad track record in listening to
innovators where issues lie outside the confines of geology and even
though I don't give priority much thought,the way plate tectonics
itself made it into wider circulation was less than subtle which is to
say,the way Wegener was treated was less than courteous.There is so
much to consider yet the main obstacle is simply stating a basic fact
that the Earth turns once in a day and then working through the
details from there.
Your 'sidereal time' creates an imbalance of 1465 rotations in 1461
days and rotational influences on evolutionary geology is basically
finished before it gets started when such an absurd view exists as a
dominant perspective and anyone who senses that the rotation of the
Earth fits in with earthquakes and plate tectonics should consider
this matter of primary concern before moving on to discuss the real
issues.
