The good news is that the graphics dictating crustal motion and
evolution have yet to be resolved and will look nothing like
contemporary attempts such as convection cells .

http://pubs.usgs.gov/publications/graphics/Fig32.gif

No point in going negative with convection cells/stationary Earth when
observed data of rotating celestial objects determine a specific
feature with a specific underlying mechanism,the profile of the Earth
and the differential rotation in the mantle which conditions that
component plates follow the profile and subsequently are affected by
the same mechanism.

Differential rotation bands in the mantle allow the crust to sit on the
plastic-molten mantle ,move around and because the mantle does not
rotate as a single unit but in bands,the difference betwen bands
affects the fractured plates in terms of Earthquakes and volcanoes.Best
of all,it brings the Earth's shape into the realm of geology .

Give people something new next year and forget about priority and any
of that nonsense by demonstrating that while the natural geological
processes that generate Earthquakes may be far from being understood
precisely and certainly not predicted in any meaningful way,the people
investigating these things are more excited by the avenues of
investigation than they are in defending untenable positions.
