...quite apart from the transparent nonsenses in Plate Tectonics, ...
and why so many people go along with them - being as transparent as
they are. I mean the common notion (taught in all our schools) that
plate tectonics causes the collision of plates, which "builds"
mountains. Geomorphologists have known forever that mountains don't
happen in this way but are simply eroded plateaus, and that the
elevation of plateaus is very much a mystery, ..but do we get any
'science' investigating the 'building' of plateaus? Not on your
nellie's duff. 'Epeirogenic uplift', the way that the continental
crust gets uplifted and preserves stratigraphic sequence on it, i.e.,
all the stratigraphy that was deposited under the
sea, ..uncrumpled, ...all of that, .. doesn't even get a mention in
the Encyclopedia of Structural geology and Plate Tectonics.

The mechanism of such is simply the hydraulic counter-reaction to
cosmic impact ( soft hit as opposed to meteorite hard hit ) and the
last in date was the Moon -Earth encounter on the Pacific at the
center of that Rim of fire made of over 2000 volcanoes (not
considering the 1000s hidden under the waves)

Oh! Sure...
Need to explain something you wouldn't normally be able to under your
theory?
Pull out the old "Throw the moon at it" trick!
Been there, done that.
