 　　Rayleigh-Bénard thermal convection (RBC) has been extensively studied in recent decades. Typically, the boundaries containing the fluid remain fixed, unyielding to fluid forces. Drawing inspiration from geophysical phenomena like continental dynamics and the super-rotation of Earth's solid core, our investigation probes the interaction between free boundaries and fluid flows undergoing thermal convection. While the mechanisms uncovered in our modest table-top experiments may not fully elucidate Earth's workings, they hold the potential to inspire novel ideas that could one day enhance our understanding of natural phenomena.
