Does the EARTH'S CRUST JERK, ROTATE, AND SHEAR at the SEA BOTTOM, under the infleuence of LATERAL GRAVITATIONAL MOVEMENT, similarly with the CONTINENTAL CRUST?

It is understood that CRUSTAL ROTATIONS develop ANALEMMAS- figure 8s- on land (which is elevated above sea level). This occurs with the OFFSET of LUNAR vs. SOLAR TIDES, where LAND TIDES form ARCUATE LAND RIPPLES yearly. The classic case is the COLORADO PLATEAU, CP and the BASIN and RANGE in the western USA:

Notice that the ratio of the PRECESSIONAL CYCLE to the AXIAL is 1.6 (1.62?), for the CP/B and R diameters, as occurs with most cases investigated for the CRUST, ATMOSPHERE, and LOOP CURRENTS in the sea circulation; there are exceptions- which when investigated yield new information about GRAVITATIONAL INFLUENCE.

Seamounts in the Pacific Ocean floor indicate that there is a periodic “jerk” forming a circular path (with others), to allow a view of the ROTATION. This yields a TIME INTERVAL (ARC diameter/tidal friction RATE in mm/year), when the correct CRUSTAL BLOCK QUADRANT is determined. Other circular arrangements of sub-sea volcanoes include those within the HOURGLASS in the central north Pacific:

A larger view is shown, to determine whether rotation rates are greater for larger ARCS, as occurs for Skagit Bay:

INDEED, the TIDAL RATE is near 30, as compared to 1.9mm/yr for the GREAT WAVES INSIDE the PACIFIC HOURGLASS (near Hawaiian Islands)!

The NW corner yields 20.48, while the SW corner exhibits 30.72, with other quadrants yielding 10.24 mm/year rotational movement. As with water tides, the transition is gradual at the junctions of two quadrants, so that there is uncertainty for the border zone, and checks must be made using other calculations to determine the “in-between magnitudes”. A case we can investigate (on a small scale, where the feature can be hiked and photographed) is that of Cornet Bay- near the Devils Mountain, Whidbey Island, WA great lateral fault:

Cornet Bay and adjoining Skagit Bay are both salt water shallow basins, so that the shallowest seafloor DEPTH cannot readily be evaluated. Both would be expected to be sinks, filling by siltation, so that this may result in a RISE (as it becomes shallower), or a SINK (as the introduced mass causes the total basin elevation to lower (DIASTROPHISM to geologists). This is indecisive, and further complicated by the notion (unproven) that a layer of seawater interferes with the LATERAL GRAVITATIONAL MOVEMENT of the shallow crust (absorbs the mechanical shove- so to speak). What I am investigating is the exhibition of ANALEMMA DEVELOPMENT DOWNWARDLY!

Can gravity operate oppositely to that normally experienced- that is, moving away from the sun or moon? Is there some arrangement of the two bodies, so that one body attracts EARTH MASS (CRUST) toward the center of the earth?  YES!

The answer to the question concerning how this transpires: this is the NORMAL GRAVITATIONAL ATTRACTION of the CENTER of MASS of the earth for its outer layers. As the earth increases size (diameter, as it moves further from the sun) it creates grabens and sinkholes; these are filled with sinking mass in a CORIOLIS ROTATION CW into the earth. This results in an ANALEMMA DEVELOPMENT (such as the Cornet-Skagit Bays) of two circular sinking rotations- one slower than the other. The only new feature is that NOT appreciated by the GEOLOGY CULTURE- that of ROTATING SINKHOLES, such as Florida circular sinks (swallowing autos, houses suddenly- leaving vertical round openings). This is also the case for the round vertical opening GEOLOGISTS have termed a METEOR CRATER! I have found that this and the nearby STONEMAN LAKE ANALEMMA, Dante's descent, and others on the MOGOLLLON RIM are circular shear-executed sinkholes.

Although Dante's is closed, I have fished for brook trout (char) in Lake Stoneman, below, and occsasionally "bagged" a goose in the south end shallows:

CENTRAL PACIFIC tidal rates vary as they distance the crustal block edges from some CENTRAL FULCRUM:

Near Hawaii (NE, near Midway Island), there exists a shearing rotation- developing since the 256 m.y. PTr EVENT. This results in a variable TIDAL FRICTION RATE, such that there is minimum tidal influence near the center of rotation (FULCRUM), and MAXIMUM at the largest shearing ARCS (diameters). A similar result occurred at the Dugualla-Skagit Bays subsea location, where CRUSTAL MASS rotated around some central focus. This is interpreted to occur during the ICE AGE, where the EARTH attained a larger elliptical orbit, slowed with its wider diameter ORBIT, and expanded its radius.

Now, view the LARGER ARCS formed by the intermittant "JERKS" of the GRAVITATIONAL LATERAL SHOVE of the SUBSEA CRUST:

Notice that there is a "PARALLEL-NESS of the WASATCH LINES (in white), indicating the CORRECT PROCEDURE.

THIS EFFECT IS NOTICED FOR THE VERY SMALL "MIMA MOUNDS", where there is increased exaggeration of "JERKING" at CORNERS and INFLECTIONS:

Buckles in walkways exhibit a RARE PHENOMENON: an ARCUATE PUSHING UP of the artificial N-S slab, having formed within 20 years. This 2 cm rise indicates a rate of 1 mm/year. this is not very reliable, but agrees with the 1/2 to 1 mm/yr. I have found at the Colorado Plateau, CP:

The answer to the question concerning how this transpires: this is the NORMAL GRAVITATIONAL ATTRACTION of the CENTER of MASS of the earth for its outer layers. As the earth increases size (diameter, as it moves further from the sun) it creates grabens and sinkholes; these are filled with sinking mass in a CORIOLIS ROTATION CW into the earth. This results in an ANALEMMA DEVELOPMENT (such as the Cornet-Skagit Bays) of two circular sinking rotations- one slower than the other. This also creates CIRCULAR FEATRURES such as METEOR CRATER, AZ and other CIRCULAR SINKS (Dante's Descent and Lake Stoneman), along the MOGOLLON RIM where there is great GRAVITATIONAL LATERAL SHEARING MOVEMENT.

We will investigate Cornet Bay further, by hiking its perimeter, appraising the COASTAL ANOMALIES-INFLECTIONS, and determining whether the indicated WASATCH LINES are correct.

Below interpretation should NOT BE TRUSTED, since the tidal flow channels are so faint! I will try to ENLARGE for better view:

This is TOO SUBJECTIVE, for eyes needing cataract remedial! The IDEA is worth exploring!
