I’ve read about the advantages of a sea based platform for the SE.  And that’s fine for a short term construction of the first small Space Elevator.

But what about for the long term?  I think that eventually, something equivalent to the tower in the Mars trilogy might be possible, or even the super-towers mentioned in Clarke’s Fountains of Paradise or 3001.  And we would surely want those towers to be land based. The major disadvantage of that would be continental drift, which I don't think we'll be able to do anything about.

Thinking about this, I looked at the map of South America, South Asia and Africa.  My question is; Where along the Equator would be a good place to ‘land’ such a tower?  What are the considerations?  I can think of a few, like earthquakes, weather, elevation and existing transportation infrastructure.  Can anyone think of other considerations, and perhaps come up with at least one, or maybe three, locations for building these towers sometime in the next thousand years?

Let's look at South America,

The Amazon River begins to form it's delta region at Tambaqui, and there are a few cities and towns around the Equator that might be good ports of call.  We would want to put the tower exactly on the Equator, so this might be a good spot.

There are questions about ground stability.  We need to get a good understanding of the geology of the region so we can pinpoint the most stable location.  I don't speak Spanish, so most of the sites like http://www.iag.usp.br/geofisica/geofis.html are beyond me.
