Re: evidences against subduction theory

Let's follow your thought.
So first, it is pulling it down, then release it, which eventually lead
to an uplift? It imply that the crust is elastic. Thee are no evidence
that it is. Even if it was elastic, it would go back to its original
position which woud mean, no global uplift.



None of these are subduction zones, floppy.

You fail to understand that overthrusting is not about the nature of the
crust. It is about the relative movement of the 2 sheets. If the moving
*** is the upper crust then there is overthrusting. If the moving
*** is the lower crust, then there is subduction. See Kugler (you
should know the ref by heart now).

When there is overthrusting, the movement of the upper *** is always
due to tectonic transport from an uplift.


Overthrusts do NOT produce deep trenchs nor forearc basins.

Yes they do. See kugler and its analysis of the Tonga or New Guinea
area.
