GEOLOGIC PUZZLES SOLVED BY THE EARTH SPIN- EQUATORIAL BULGE- TIDAL FRICTION INTERACTION CONCEPTS

ABOVE IS SHOWN A CLASSIC CASE OF THE INTERACTION OF CORIOLIS ROTATION, SUBDUCTION, AND EARTH TIDE DRAG TO THE WEST- ALONG THE MENDOCINO, CA RIFT AND TRANSFORM FEATURES.
GEOLOGIC PUZZLES SOLVED BY THE EARTH SPIN- EQUATORIAL BULGE- TIDAL FRICTION INTERACTION CONCEPTS
A. rising and protruding CRUSTAL MASSES rotate or spiral CCW, yielding circular VOLCANOES, SALT DOMES, AND MOUNTAINS in the Northern Hemisphere (see Cottonport Dome, Grass Valley vulcanism, and Colorado Plateau uplift);
B. Sinking and cooling magma chambers yield CW rotations, resulting in reversal of vertical fault movements (see Quail Lake and Basin and Range lateral faulting);
C. Shear between similarly-rotating cooling volcanoes results in rejuvenation cones (see Waikapu Vent, Maui, HI), long after the island-building magma is spent;
D. Interference between the westward TIDAL FRICTION PUSH and the eastward-dragging MANTLE MOVEMENT creates the rhyolite extrusion sites which are now forming Yellowstone NP (incidentally extending the B&R, and creating valleys equal to the number of rhyolitic sites);
E. Coriolis rotations create circular river valleys over part of almost all rivers (however small the stream), which allows inspection of river banks to determine the direction of drag;
F. Translation of Crustal mass along lateral faults may be related to Coriolis rotations, such as the Navajo Sandstone (Aztec in NV) moving SW from UT to the Valley of Fire, NV or the Divide basalt moving along the Hurricane fault (see Grass Valley vulcanism, and B&R lateral faulting); and,
G. Location of antipodal features, such the Pine
Valley Mountains, PVM, which is opposite in location to sinks near the Pyramid Lake region of the B&R faulting, and the location of the Laverkin sink which is in opposition to the monocline near the AZ border.
SOME PUZZLES FOR THE MENDOCINO, CA AND HIGHER-IN-LATITUDE NW USA CAN BE SOLVED BY NOTICING THE CONFLICT BETWEEN TIDAL EFFECTS SHOVING THE SIERRAS WESTWARD AND MANTLE ROTATIONS ROTATING THE BASE OF THE CRUST EASTWARD:
