Yes. The plate tectonics are all the same as on a RE model.

Plate tectonics cannot exist on FE due to the requirement of a luquid core.

LOL, you talk about FE like it's some other place. Yet we're on it right now.

as usual you've avoided my point, tectonics can't work without a liquid core. which only occurs naturally in spherical form.

errr, no. On the RE model the core is solid.

On a flat earth accelerating upwards the natural shape would be flat due to the pseudoforce acting downward on it against the "hard" bottom. 

The edge of the FE is one giant ring plate.  As the outgoing plates contact this ring, they subduct at this location.  As the plate subducts, it is heated, melted and recycled.  Due to this subduction, the ice wall formed.

Wrong. There are several subduction zones. if only around the circle then explain to me why the indonesian plate is slipping down over

So, the ice wall is not connected to any of the RE plates?

Didn't my theory already explained how the Ice Wall forms? The Earth begun with an icy surface/frozen water. The Sun at the center melts the ice, all the way until the edge where the heat concentration is extremely low. Thus, Ice Wall. This wall is not really a wall; it is a mountain range covered in ice.

Did I say the only subduction zone is at the outer edge?  'Cause I'm pretty sure I did not.

The only large magma output site is the sub atlantic ridge. Which is pushing europe from america, not feeding lots of plates which are pushing themselves under the ring.

Tectonics cannot function without the kind of core RE has.

A solid one?

Tectonics cannot function without the kind of core RE has.

What kind of core?

A solid core which is maintained solid due to the immense pressure it is under, consisting of iron and nuclear material which is decaying to produce the heat necessary to maintain a liquid core. as the liquid core heats, it rises to the surface, where it cools. Then dropping back towards the earth's core, where it is re heated and rised again, making a convetion current. this constant current moves the plates.This is happening in all directions by the way.

Explain how this can happen on a flat earth

Explain how it could not.  There is nothing there that is specific to a round earth.

A core can't exist on FE or all of it's energy would be concentrated directly underneeth the north pole.

There is no reason it couldn't occur on a flat surface rather than a round core.

Flat core couldn't remain in one place. nothing would stop it from breaking up.

first you say molten core, now you say solid core (after I correct you), are you just making stuff up as you see fit?

the solid core of earth is significantly smaller than the molten iron core which surrounds it, so it is often excluded from core diagrams.

Strangely, I think you have a point.

Not sure. I'm a bit fuzzy with Plate tectonics. Haven't studied them for about 3 years.

Just a sudden thought: does FE have a magnetic field like RE then? I mean, if there is the core, mantle and crust as with RE, then sure there is a magnetic field, caused by the inner core?


And I thought the inner core was growing.

there both right , it as a solid inner core and a liquid outer core

A solid core which is maintained solid due to the immense pressure it is under, consisting of iron and nuclear material which is decaying to produce the heat necessary to maintain a liquid core. as the liquid core heats, it rises to the surface, where it cools. Then dropping back towards the earth's core, where it is re heated and rised again, making a convetion current. this constant current moves the plates.This is happening in all directions by the way.

Explain how this can happen on a flat earth

Convection is minor in the movement of the plates in comparison to things like slab pull.

Don't question me i studied geography and tectonics were my favourite subject funnily enough

Then you agree?  I mean, those are only 2 possibilities of the movement, anyway.

With the entire chunky molten body of earth pushing the plates, its hardly a "minor" contribution

With the massive weight of the plates pulling themselves down, it's much less of a contribution.

Oh, God.  Pull out a high school Earth sciences text, please.  You need to refresh on what happens to plates.

Explain.

it'd be like a sheet of ply board. So much force on it with so many weak points would tear it appart. a sphere has no week points, this is how the core is a solid sphere of iron and nuclear material

Who says the core has to be flat?
