OH, I see. The ice wall is part of a plate. The one which doesn't seem to move, has always been where it is. Plate tectonics and FE don't mix. You can't have moving plates on a flat surface with boundaries.
The flat earth has no boundries.

Right.
Has always been there? How did it form on the edge again rather than side out of the side of the disk? Things push up (mountains etc.) because of opposing forces. This is what forces plates under and over each other. The wall just kinda pushed against space in FE's case. Tom Bishop is doing a better job than you guys in this aspect.  :'(

So earth-like material was more comfy and warm huddled up in a mound on the edge?

Land mass (in addition to ice) composes the icewall. If your saying 'space is cold' I assume this is to imply that the water from oceans freeze thus far out to form the wall or at least start it. The land mass is my concern though. The earthy material still would need to push against something.

So is it presumed that the FE is in a state of constant growth 'outward'?
Or is it assumed that this DID happen in the beginnings of Earth and then stopped, leaving the Ice Wall as it is?

Just clarification, not debating.
Thanks

And the sedimentary layers? And varying rock minerals that indicate multible origins?

please could someone debating on the FE side of things draw a map of the earth 100m years ago, just to roughly show where the plates were.

The flat earth has no boundries.

It does in the sense of plate tectonics, that's what this thread is about. What is the edge of the flat earth made of? The Ice Wall? A continental plate? Something else?

In answering my question... I have to agree here.

Even with a large oceanic expanse to move upon, the plates still need a 'barrier' of sorts to push against. Therefore, either the ice wall is still growing, or the plates are not moving anymore.

If molten rock + cold = solid rock (which it obviously does) then if the lava flows are active at even 10% of the ice wall, the Earth must still be growing outward, even if it is oblong.

OR it could be the plates are pushing all landmasses apart and expanding the earth in that fashion. Could this be the case?

Main thing is that new land is being formed everywhere, whether it be the sea floor or visibly above the water line. It must go somewhere...

I find that interesting. So if the earth has no edge, I want to clarify before I continue... do you mean to say the earth has infinite landmass? (Ice or no)

Ok then, if it is not infinite, how can it have no edge? Is it some sort of dimensional shift that allows for thickness where there physically is none?

Sorry, I don't mean to be rude, but this one is slipping past me - I'm a bit tired and unless the earth tapers to a sharpened point, it has to have an edge somewhere if it's not infinite. And even then it still technically has an edge eh?

Have a good one all.

Anyways, Tom has tried to say that it's infinite (and there were discussions about the possibilities this entails), but the general consensus is that it is finite.

Well instead of worrying about that, answer me this. Is the continent of Antarctica connected to the same plate that the ice wall sits on?

Depends on where the Ice Wall is actually located. Given that the Ice Wall hasn't been seen etc... I would guess that no, it isn't on the same plate.
