All rotating celestial objects with viscous compositions display an uneven rotational gradient across latitudes and despite the childish belief that the Earth is a 'rocky' planet, the fact is that it is a large rotating fluid body which influences the surface crust.

The Mid Atlantic Ridge and the symmetrical development of Oceanic crust either side of the ridge would indicate rotational influences, not just the evolution of the ridge itself but the 'S' shape of the development which splits at the planet's rotational Equator -

This has been covered many times before where the 26 mile spherical deviation of the planet ties in with crustal evolution and motion so additional points look for other clues left on the surface crust and especially the lag/advance mechanism which provides the differential dynamics to impact the surface crust .

The fracture zones at the Equator run almost parallel with latitude bands and this continues down at polar latitudes where the fracture zones are less flat and more rounded -

The elegant 'S' shape of the Mid Atlantic Ridge and all the associated features give an indication of the underlying rotational mechanism acting on the crust and the spherical deviation of the planet -

Venus has the greatest extent of volcanic activity in the solar system but no plate motion and no appreciable spherical deviation while our home planet is a wonder of diverse geological evolutionary phenomena.

The motion of zonal bands of fluid and the uneven gradient associated with fluid dynamics as opposed to a relatively solid crust leaves these transform plate boundaries as a type of a lag/advance feature where the faster moving zonal bands at the Equator create crust in one direction vs the slower moving bands towards polar latitudes yet they in turn as faster than the slower moving band beneath it so the process is replicated across the axis of the Ridge.

After a brief period a decade ago when they threw the kitchen sink at rotation, academics have retreated back to the dreary convection cells notion despite the fact that all rotating celestial bodies with exposed fluid compositions display an uneven rotational gradient between equator and poles (differential rotation).

Evolutionary geology and the planet's 26 mile spherical deviation from a perfect sphere can be bound together using a common mechanism but seemingly academics are willing to exempt the interior of the planet from the principles of fluid dynamics that govern all other planets and that is amazing.
