Undulations of the Earth's Core

(And the triformation of the planet)

In 1957 Prof. Andreas Vogel of Berlin, then a student, discovered, by calculating the reflections of earthquake waves on the surface of the Earth's outer core, - in a depth of 2900 km, or in a height of about 3470 km if measured from the Earth's center, therefore approximately half way up between the Earth's center and its surface - elevations and depressions of about 10 km, respectively.

Not much, one should think; but these elevations and depressions on the outer core correspond with anomalies in the gravitational and magnetic fields of the Earth which extend into space, where they can be measured by satellites.

Above the depressions in the surface of the Earth's core gravity is stronger than above the heights.
This discovery was confirmed 1987 by scientists at the California Institute Technology, Robert Clayton, Don Anderson and Olafur Gudundsson.

One of these elevations is in the Gulf of Alaska south of Alaska in a depth of 2900 km inside the interior of the Earth, further elevations on the Earth's outer core are found under the North Atlantic, the Eastern Pacific as well as under Central Asia.

Depressions on the surface of the Earth's core are found under the Philippines, forming a ten kilometer deep valley; similar valleys found below the North and South Americas, under India and Siberia, wherever material is being pulled into the depth.

The following illustration shows a section through the equatorial plane of the Earth, as seen from the South Pole:

Here supplemented with the superrotation of the Earth's core as proposed by me:

The continental blocks, which also include the islands and extensive plateaux between Southeast Asia and Australia collect in the areas of converging and descending currents.
Upsurging magma opens the oceans.
The dynamic core - mantle boundary, on the other hand, is depressed under cold descending currents.
Again, as viewed from the South Pole.

It is interesting now how this affects the Earth's surface: According to sensitive satellite measurements, the Earth's surface also consists of three giant waves and three wave troughs, that apparently seem to be rotating symmetrically around the planet ( source unknown ).

Here both pictures were combined and supplemented by my proposed spiraling effect of the super - rotation of the Earth's core.

The figure shows a section through the equatorial plane of the Earth, this time as viewed from the North Pole.

Since these waves in cross - section seem to be not of a sinus, but rather of the sawtooth structure of surf waves, they also seem to be moving the around the world eastwards: the heavier, rotating, Earth's core pulls the lighter Earth's surface along in three waves of molten rock, their crests forming the whitecaps of continental collections.

For reason of a super-imposed sinusoidal mantle flow apparently following the Ecliptic ( the Sun's track on the Earth ) the Americas and Australo - Indonesia are being torn apart to the Southeast, while Africa and Europe being shoved together to the Northeast. Antarctica rotates in its place.

One should not overlook the possibility that the continents might not be moving synchronously with this assumed sinusoidal magma flow, but drift eastwards across its north-south components, as well as the Ecliptic is not fixed; so that, for example, Africa now is in the collision range of a northeastern flow with Europe, in which - perhaps some 40-20 million years ago - India was in relation to Asia, which in turn now is more in the range of the northern easterly flow.

Besides the transport of the west to east, material could theoretically even be transported helically along the Earth's axis around the Earth's core from the geographical South to North Pole. For wherever magma travels to the Earth's interior, the relatively light continental crust accumulates at the surface, even in the form of mountains; while, where it wells up, the heavier sea floor is spread. See here.
This three - division of the world may also be the reason for the remarkable fact that there are few true antipodes on this planet, i. e. there is very little continental crust on opposite sides of the globe; a continent on one side of the globe is usually opposed by an ocean on the other - and this has possibly been so most of the time.

On a more mythical note, the snakelike writhing of the sinus mantle flow could remind one of the huge 'Midgard Serpent' or Midgardschlange ('Encircler of the Earth') of ancient Nordic mythology which lay under the ocean, encircling the Earth by taking its own tail into its mouth. When it moved, it was said to cause tidal waves or Tsunamis.

To illustrate the postulated sinusoidal mantle flow,

I have superimposed it on the map below ( the thick grey line; the fine white one depicts another sinus curve, which is set off by about 90° and supposedly shows a string of locations of Pyramids and other ancient artifacts with the red dots; see here or here )
