I have read that some people stay in the before-1970-geology, and do not
thrust the nowaday plate tectonic geology with subduction. Do they have
any strong evidence against the subduction theory ?
There is also the possibility that some of the 'before-1970-geology' is
correct. Plate tectonics doesn't answer all geological questions, nor was
it intended to. As I've noted in this group before, without a hint of
crackpottery, if you're stuck in the middle of a long term craton like
North America, there's a helluva lot of geology out there which has very
little to do with subducting margins (or not).
That is true, but having a lot of geology in the middle of the continent
that doesn't have a lot to do with subduction doesn't mean that subduction
doesn't occur elsewhere. Of course, it does. Having said that, there is
ample evidence that the middle of our continent has seen numerous rift
events, and so plate tectonics does have something to say about the geology
of the mid-continent as well.
