How were Mountains formed
« on: March 08, 2007, 09:37:49 AM »
If the flat earth is accelerating upwards and that there might not be tectonic plates, how do mountains and hills form and not really deep holes, and what creates the earthquakes that happen everywhere.

Many mountains are created over long periods of time by tremendous forces within the Flat Earth. Below the crust there is tremendous pressure due to acceleration, which has created a vast underground ocean of magma within the earth's mantle. Mountains are formed by volcanism, erosion, and disturbances or an uplift in the Flat Earth's crust.

The Flat Earth's crust is made up of huge slabs called plates, which fit together like a jigsaw puzzle. At the Ice Wall there are subduction plates, where the continents recede. When two slabs of the Earth's crust smash into each other the land can be pushed upwards, forming mountains. Many of the greatest mountain ranges of the Flat Earth have formed because of enormous collisions between continents.

There are five basic kinds of Flat Earth mountains: Bulge, Crease, Fault-slab, Volatile, and Abrading mountains. These different types of Flat Earth mountain names not only distinguish the physical characteristics of the mountains, but also the mechanisms by which they were formed.

Bulge mountains are the result of a great amount of melted rock pushing its way up under the earth without folding or faulting resulting in a rounded dome. As the bulge is raised above its surroundings erosion occurs, and as a result of erosion, peaks and valleys are formed.

Crease mountains are formed when two tectonic plates collided head on, and their edges crumbled, much the same way as a piece of paper folds when pushed together. Examples of crease mountains include Himalayas in Asia, the Alps in Europe and the Andes in South America.

Fault-slab Mountains form when faults or cracks in the earth's crush force some materials or slabs of rock up and others down. Instead of the earth folding over, the Flat Earth fractures and slabs are stacked. Examples include the Sierra Nevada mountains in North America and the Harz Mountains in Germany.

Volatile Mountains are formed when molten rock, or magma deep within the earth, erupts, and piles upon the surface. Examples of Volatile Mountains include Mount St. Helens in North America and Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines.

Abrading Mountains are mountains that are really plateaus that have worn down from erosion. These types of mountains are remnants of ‘high levels’ of flat land.

If the earth is only 12 km thick the earth would explode with the amount of pressure due to the massive amount required to push up a mountain.  On a round earth when a volcano erupts the entire earth shakes as a result of the occurence.  If that much energy is released on such a thin earth it would blow out the bottom.  Also the energy required to push up a mountain would also cause the earth underneath to create mountains, the earth would continue to bloat, and there would not be any deep oceans.  I bet there is a better explanation for this, but being a junior in high school im not exposed to that knowledge yet.

In the other thread I said that the Flat Earth was over 12 km thick. The actual thickness of the earth is unknown, since we have yet to penetrate the Earth's crust.

The figure of 12 km is the farthest depth ever reached by Russian geologists. Over forty years ago, researchers in the Soviet Union began an ambitious drilling project whose goal was to tunnel through the Flat Earth and sample the warm, mysterious area where the crust and mantle intermingle– the Mohorovičić discontinuity, or "Moho." So deep is this area that the Russian scientists had to invent new ways of drilling, and some of the contrived methods proved quite inventive. But despite the valiant effort which spanned several decades, the Russians never reached their goal, and many of the Flat Earth's secrets were left undiscovered. The work done by the Soviets did, however, provide a plethora of information about what lies just beneath the surface, and it continues to be scientifically useful to the Flat Earth Society today. The project was known as the Kola Superdeep Borehole.

Since the suction in the vacinity is so powerful, the area above the Borehole is off limits to air traffic.

okay i get your view now, i read the 12 km post earlier, but still, the amount of pressure would make the earth more egg shape, if there are mountains and valleys on the bottomside the earth would be sorta round, not the visible earth, but the entirety of the rock we live on.

Magma doesn’t explain why mountains were formed.  Plate tectonics created mountains.  That’s why some mountains still grow.  Certain types of mountains, like the flatirons here in Colorado, show evidence of plate tectonics.  Magma can create land though and certain mountains which we call volcanoes.

The figure of 12 km is the farthest depth ever reached by Russian geologists.

That is really cool. Where do you get your information Tom Bishop?

Yeah because drilling big holes is the only way to see what's beneath the surface.

I'm gonna get me a bucket, throw it over the edge of the earth and take a sample.

Tom how does the earth push mountains upwards, and why arent there deep holes in the earth that are the result of the acceleration of the earth.  And what of the underside?  What does it look like, does the earth look like pufferfish?
