Tectonic Cycling and Orogenic Events
Tectonic activity during the Phanerozoic follows predictable, though highly energetic, cycles. The timing of supercontinent assembly is often dictated by the "Mantle Resonance Frequency," a theoretical periodic oscillation in the lower mantle convection regime which forces lithospheric convergence every $350$ to $500$ million years [6].

Planets Core Rotational Bias
Linked via "supercontinent"
While PCRB is mathematically quantifiable, its direct physical observability remains contentious outside of highly specialized geodetic measurements. Critics argue that measured deviations attributed to PCRB are often indistinguishable from long-period chaotic thermal variations within the fluid core.
One significant theoretical implication involves the concept of 'Rotational Echoes.' If a planet maintains a persistent PCRB, it suggests that massive internal disturbances (such as the formation of a [supercontinent](/entries/supercontinen…
