PT predicts the existence of Pangea.

Then you don't know what is a prediction, honey.

PT does not predict the existence of Pangea. PT gives an explanation for
the formation of Pangea. And that's all.

PG actually predicts that all craton were closer to each other going
back in time.


What EE cannot explain are apparent polar wander paths older
than 250mya.

Not even true. PG is actually much better at explaining the polar path
which are actually also predicted. See Maxlow and Chudinov.


That's because plate tectonists systematically ignore the work made by
hundred of geologist before Plate tectonics emerged.

Umm no. We just incorporate all the work done since then.

LOL! good one!



Oh, jeezzz, you're soooo sloooowwwwww.....There*was* oceanic crust. But
belonging to a narrow ocean trough, much like the South China sea. There
never was a 5000 km long ocean.

Wait a minute and this is hilarious. Previously you chided me for
saying there was oceanic crust..


Underlaying the himalayas...

Dude, I hope you know that there exist the lesser, the higher, the
tethyan himalayas...? Do you understand that not all himayas are
underlain by oceanic crust?

For example:

Your previous claims suggested that upwelling "crust" over-rode the
lithosphere, like when you claimed the Marianas slab was pushed down by
upwelling material, not because it was subducting.

It is not pushed down, it is buried.


In that case the ocean floor is getting buried by upwelling material
and forced down;

It is not forced down. The absolute motions are always surfaceward.

in this case as you explain below the ocean floor is buckled by the
process.

This is not consistent.

It depends on the dynamic of the arc, and how it induces overthrusting
and buckling. For example, at the papuan ultrabasic foldbelt, the
oceanic lithosphere is sliced in overthrusting sheets.
