The currently-accepted Plate movements, “Hotspots”, Continental wandering, and Subduction are a good introduction for the GEOLOGY CULTURE to become involved in large-scale CRUSTAL RE-ARRANGEMENTS, but are now an impediment to further understanding of EARTH’S CONTINUAL ROTATIONS, SHEAR, AND VERTICAL SHIFTS.
As seen by photos from space, and from acoustic soundings, the above terms must now be re-interpreted with new physical NOMENCLATURE:
A. For the whole earth, plates are segments of ROTATING CRUST, WITH SHEAR AT THE EDGE OF CELLS. Even for the Pacific, the cells may be made more plausible, by reference to the portrait of the “Pacific Hourglass”. This is a feature which is symmetrical over several thousand kilometers, something which could not be “laid off” onto mantle plumes, hotspots, or rectangular plates- SEE PHOTO BELOW:
THE HOURGLASS, SEEN IN 30 DEGREE LATITUDE BANDS, IS SHOWN BELOW (SINCE WEATHER CELLS ARE NOMINALLY TRACEABLE OVER SIMILAR BANDS):
B. Hotspots, if they exist, are HEAT CREATED BY FRICTION FROM ROTATION OF BRITTLE CRUST. This has nothing to do with the Mantle, but requires brittle rock- not plastic or ductile mantle. Small-scale features, such as rotating cells of extent smaller than the thickness of the crust, may temporarily create HOT SPRINGS, OR GEOTHERMAL ANOMALIES.
C. Subduction is a good term, but more correctly indicates diving of a vertically-rotating cell, such as exists along the OR-WA coast. The terranes associated with subduction are portions of the crust above which there are couplets of islands-basins which have been rotated under the nearby coastline, associated with rift zones- the edges of the rotating cells.
D. Wandering continents are due to the large-scale (REGIONAL OR CONTINENTAL) ROTATIONS OF CORIOLIS CELLS. This is all an orderly process, occurring as the crust encounters differential velocities of north boundaries compared to southern ones- as latitudinal velocity decreases for a mass compared to that for lower latitudes. NOTE: CORIOLIS CELLS ROTATE FASTER ON THE SOUTH SIDE (N. HEMISPHERE) THAN THE NORTH, BECAUSE OF THE FASTER LATITUDINAL VELOCITY THERE. ALL CELLS INVESTIGATED HAVE COMPRESSION, e.g. CP OR GRASS VALLEY CELLS, ON THE SOUTH OR SE SIDE (SAN JUAN MTNS. OR BORDER MONOCLINE).
E. Transforms are shear zones, where the side proceeding westward is being SHOVED BY A BULGE LOCATED TO THE EAST- EITHER EQUATORIAL OR A MOUNTAIN RANGE. The opposite side of the transform has subduction as indicated by rift zones on that side. USE OF THE ABOVE NOMENCLATURE AND ASSOCIATED PHYSICAL MOVEMENTS ALLOWS SOLUTION TO “GEOLOGICAL PUZZLES” which will never be solved with out-dated terminology and its associated mis-representation of the facts. For example:
1. GPS readings show that the movement along the Aleutian islands is to the SW- not a movement of the “Pacific plate” to the north;
2. Hawaii-Emperor seamount chain is the edge of a Quadransphere cell, which is matched to the west in the “hourglass”, and it is due to shear along the boundary, with a 2 track development occurring along the boundary of the QUADRANSPHERE cells adjacent to each other in the Pacific Ocean.
3. The NA continent is not a plate- rather it is a large rotating CRUSTAL LANDMASS. The Yellowstone NP is not a “Hotspot” under a westward-moving continent, rather it is a geothermal anomaly at the conflict zone of a relatively-westward moving NON-EQUATORIAL BULGE to the north shearing against an eastward-moving extension of the crust created by the Sierras as they move to the west (creating the Basin and Range Province as far east as the Rocky mountains south of the Park).
THIS IS TRANSLATED ON A GOOGLE PHOTO, TO SHOW THE RELATIVE MOVEMENTS: 
I HAVEN'T FOUND A CONSISTENT RATE OF MOVEMENT DUE TO THE VARIOUS DYNAMIC FEATURES MOVING IN THE NORTHERN HEMISPHERE. THIS IS A WEAKNESS IN MY ASSESSMENT OF THE DYNAMICS- WHICH INVOLVES THE WHOLE GLOBE. EVERYTHING MUST EITHER BE IN A HARMONIOUS ARRANGEMENT, OR ELSE GEOTHERMAL ANOMALIES WILL OCCUR- SUCH AS VULCANISM, WHENEVER ROTATING CELLS ARE RASPING AGAINST EACH OTHER, OR WHENEVER THE VARIOUS BULGES ARE CONFLICTING WITH CORIOLIS CELLS. I WILL BEGIN TO AMASS RATES AS CALCULATED FROM TWO SOURCES:
1. RADIO-DATING FOR EXTRUSIVE ROCK, AND,
2. SPATIAL MOVEMENT AS SEEN BY GOOGLE EARTH.
