How sweet,here is something much better -

The wider view is that the Earth turns one in 24 hours with all the
familiar effects within a day with the more detailed geological view
that the equatorial speed is 1037.5 miles per or what amounts to the
same thing - the Earth turns 15 degrees per hour at all latitudes
where the speeds become progressively slower towards the polar
latitudes.
Anyone who wishes to dither around with a natural noon cycle as
exactly 24 hours is wasting their time,the way the AM/PM system ties
together with the Lat/Long system (as previously described in general
terms by the NASA video) with the calendar cycle of 1461 rotations
enclosed in 4 orbital circuits is much more enjoyable,complicated and
intricate,something people will adore once they get the hand of it.
The average 24 hour day is a derived from the 1461 natural noon AM/PM
cycles over 4 years,the way it ties together with the Lat/Long system
is that the average 24 hour day progresses seamlessly and steadily
into the next 24 hour day ,Monday turns into Tuesday,into Wednesday
and so on but it also substitutes for steady rotation.It is
intricate,a joy to behold, and ultimately allows geologists to work
with a maximum equatorial speed and the differences between an even
rotational gradient between equator and poles for the surface
fractured crust and an uneven rotational gradient for the fluid
interior acting on the crust.There are no negative to any of this,no
contrived arrows pointing indiscriminately without any values
attached,just a simple emergence of rotational influences on
geological features such as the symmetrical generation of crust either
side of the Mid Atlantic Ridge and the elegant 'S' feature that splits
the Ridge at the equator -

If readers want to follow a late 17th century mistake based on tying
rotation directly to stellar circumpolar motion then good for
them,they lose the ability to work with rotational speeds inherited
from the great timekeeping systems with parts of this system going
back to antiquity.It would be surprising if geologists opted for a
flawed core principle which forms the core idea of geology - the Earth
is round and rotating with known a specific values attached or
continue to behave in the worst possible.
My work on tying the 26 mile spherical deviation of the planet with
crustal evolution/motion and down into individual facets such as
earthquakes was a result of looking at all rotating celestial objects
with fluid compositions and the common denominator of differential
rotation and for the geological community to act like petty thieves in
trying to insert rotation as a mechanism without attribution and more
specifically,without the mention of differential rotation as it is
derived from visible observation is bordering on criminal.
Geologists have a choice to make if they wish to see their discipline
thrive and do something they failed to do when Wegener proposed plate
tectonics to a hostile and unimaginative audience.The devil may make
some poor fools ignore rotation and miss the point but the world is
full of imposters like that,this material is for genuine geologists
who actually wish to have a creative and productive output.
