To argue for a geostationary 'convection cell' mechanism for crustal
motion is to argue against differential rotation as the mechanism for
the Earth's deviation from a perfect sphere.This conceptual
distinction transfers to crustal/evolution and motion via the
determining factors such as viscosity, and composition of the
material below the crust insofar the the motion of the crustal plates
depends on the medium and the motion of that medium.
Taking the responses of particpants here as a gauge for geologists and
dynamicists in generaL ,it appears that the option of a geostationary
Earth is preferable to a rotating one and in futures they are
constrained to organise the internal composition of the Earth around
'convection cells' without any reference to rotational dynamics and
the Earth's shape
There is an option to look at stellar dynamics and apply the
correlation between Equatorial speed,differential rotation and
deviation from a perfect sphere as a common bond where one indicates
the presence of the other two components as a general rule -

If 'convections cells' remain established as a 'fact',plate tectonics
is finished or becomes a counter-productive concept that will prop up
a geostationary Earth view.
