Absolutely makes sense. We keep looking at everything in 2D when in reality there may be more axis of movement we don’t understand and it should actually be viewed as 3D.
Add to that the random variable of comet/asteroid strikes imparting enough force to upset the boundaries of these spheres of varied speed, one within the other, and creating internal tsunamis of magma and liquid nickel and now you've got your hot spots welling up on the opposite side of the disturbance.
It's a theory. I'm sure someone much smarter than me has already thought of it.
You could probably form an experimental model on the ISS with a rotating ball of hot soup with tiny sensors suspended within. Start cooling it and then shoot it with a bb and observe. I'm not a scientist, but that's how I'd go about testing it.
