What's funny? Did the whole ocean floor move for *you* in the last day
or so then, Stuart? All the way back to the spreading ridge? With
AMPLIFIED POWER as well? That's what's funny, except I bet you (and
whole lot of others) don't get the joke. Or I suppose you would argue
(since ocean floors *move*, and since you believe in "porridge", and
the necessity for BIG DAKS) ..that there is a whole 200m years or so of
build-up accummulated at the ridge, just waiting for release at
subduction zones. No wait, ..subduction (aka "slab pull") drives plate
tectonics, because it's a cooling-driven thing, nothing to do with a
heating-driven thing - so the ambiently lifting wake of what happens
today in the subduction zone has yet to happen at the ridges. That
right? So the prediction is (with all that power generated at
subduction zones - *IN OUR TIME* ) the apocalypse is yet to happen at
the spreading ridges. Oh, People out there in the middle of the
oceans GET READY! (Is Stuart really putting his money where his mouth
is?)

OK, you asked the question. Answer it, paying attention to how the
spreading along the length of the ridges for the last 300 million years
is being swallowed in subduction zones that are only half the length
and twice as old.

Gopher it, BIGBOY.

Have you got a publication with an answer perhaps? As well as the one
about the energy differential between ridges and subbies? If not,
then you have a golden op. to get creative and think of one. Of course
you could always ask George if you're stuck. George has a publication
answer for everything, though he tends to specialise in duds. (What a
pair.. - daks and duds)(duds and daks)(porridge and soup)
