Now that you've done this, take a trip all across the Pacific basin,
travelling to every country and island arc, particularly along the rim,
collect the needed stratigraphic, geomagnetic, and the petrographic
data,
and then produce a map that shows that the above calculations have any
bearing on the reality on the ground.

The above calculations are based on data from the ground.
I'm waiting for your model based on PT to explain the curves I
presented.

Flo, none of what you presented demonstrates what is seen on the ground
anywhere along the Pacific rim. You can do all the math you care to do,
but until you connect the dots on the ground, you're pissing in the wind.
For instance, The Appalachians can be directly connected with parts of
Northern Scotland, and Scandanavia because the stratigraphy, geomagnetics
and petrography bears out doing so. The black diamonds of South America
can be directly linked to the black diamonds of western Africa. And there
is more, a lot more. There is no such case to be made in the Pacific rim.
So you can draw all the curves you care to but until you can fit the
continents together stratigraphically, geomagnetically, and
petrographically, you're not going to get anyone's attention with this. If
it was as easy as you suppose, the argument would have been resolved long
ago.
