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 earthConvection 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

if i remember, austria is an old, dis-used name for what is now Germany.

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.
So, the ice wall is not connected to any of the RE plates?
I love your diagrams, Jack. Do you keep a catalog of them all? Maybe you should put them all into a thread in "Everything Else." Trekky could put all of his refraction ones in it. It could be called "Self Drawn Explanatory Diagrams" thread.
Exactly, so the land mass has always been at the boundary of the FE world.
the mountains at the edge (lol) of the earth,
they've always been there
ie. the plates on which the mountains sit have always been in the same place?

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.
so you think the Antarctic plate exists, but is a big ring round the edge?

As the plate subducts, it is heated, melted and recycled. Due to this subduction, the ice wall formed. Wouldn't work. There would be a "surplus" of subduction, as on the FE map, the Antarctic plate would have a longer boundary than in the real world. There would have to be more divergent boundaries than actually exist.

Another win for the REers then. Too easy.
flat core would work the same as a spherical core.
