Right. Look, the point is this:- Everything about Earth expansion is
to do with the Earth being round and rotating. Everything to do with
Plate Tectonics is about it being flat and stationary.
Round and rotating
Flat and stationary
Or at least there is nothing in Plate Tectonics that requires that the
Earth's surface, or the body of the Earth, be round and rotating. It
could *JUST AS WELL* be a flat plate above a stove, and everything
about plate tectonics would be accommodated. On the other hand, when
you put the Earth's structure on a round body, the premise that it is
"segmented into a number of plates" - and all the rest - is seen for
what it is - NONSENSE. It is clearly, entirely, manifestly, a SINGLE
'PLATE', if 'plate' is what you want to call it. And 'subduction' is
'overriding' (as the *DEFINITIONS* of both the USGS and NASA concede)
related to the Earth's rotation. The entire concept of Plate
tectonics falls apart once it is phrased in the round.
Round and rotating
Flat and stationary
Which concept do you prefer to explain what we observe? Come on
Ralph, ..you're half way there. The sheep have stopped munching and
are looking at you, perched up there on the gate, watching the sun
'rise' They are wondering, not only how did you get up there, but what
have you perceived that they, eyes down and munching on grass, never
can?
Round and rotating
Flat and stationary
I know, ..we'll ask Sophie, ..I mean Delphie..
