plate tectonics

Or that plate is stretched into a ring on FE...

You can't have moving plates on a flat surface with boundaries.

Why?

Good, we finally reach an agreement.

What have we agreed?

Well, what don't you agree?

Virtually everything that you say

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.

but the ice wall sits on a plate right?

I'm just struggling to see how this plate that's on the edge of the Earth works. Which was is it moving? Maybe it's time for Jack to draw one of his good pictures to show me the edge of the Earth and how the plate here operates. I bet he doesn't post it, because it won't be possible to draw.

Well, there obviously has to be an edge if it's finite. I can't remember if Username subscribes to the infinite Earth idea.

Yeah, I do.

Virtually everything that you say

Point them out.

The plate is not moving. Can't even comprehend pictures, eh?

Which was is it moving?

Which moving what?

Already shown in the picture. It's your responsibility to fully comprehend its meaning, which I guess you couldn't...

Won't be possible to draw what?

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)

The earth has infinite surface area or at least, sufficiently large surface area.

Sufficiently large enough to not have an edge? 

The Earth has an edge and it's finite.

So I have come to understand by the general population. I'm merely trying to understand Username's state of mind.

Large enough that the edge is not a defined point but an eventual tappering off of density that approaches 0.

I think its more likely thats its infinite.

I can't comprehend your picture because it's utter dross. End of. Go back to school.

Lambie, no matter what you say or do, you are still wrong. That is how this forum works

You're back. Have you just been reading up on plate tectonics on wikipedia or something

Uh, I have school and work, unlike you.

Here's the Antarctic Plate [ILLUSTRATION AND APPROXIMATION ONLY]:


Here's how the plates work [ILLUSTRATION AND APPROXIMATION ONLY]:

From you diagram, it looks like your ice wall is getting a bit too warm

So, your "plate" that the ice wall sits on covers the whole of the underside of the earth too?

Lambie, no matter what you say or do, you are still wrong. That is how this forum works

haha damn why didn't anyone ever tell me that when i was young and impressionable?

now i've fallen into the eric bloedow category of trying to prove all FE'rs wrong once and for all.

DAMN YOU ALL!

Lambie, no matter what you say or do, you are still wrong. That is how this forum works

So there is no point in the discussion area of the website then. 

unless you want to be proven (i use that word lightly) wrong by the FE'rs, then no.

now i've fallen into the eric bloedow category of trying to prove all FE'rs wrong once and for all.

Jesus, don't sell yourself that short.

So, your "plate" that the ice wall sits on covers the whole of the underside of the earth too?

Do you not understand the legends? That is the crust, and the "plate" is part of the crust, just like the plates on a round Earth.

I can't comprehend your picture because it's utter dross. End of. Go back to school.

Then it's your problem that you can't comprehend pictures. Now, go back and revise plate tectonics. Actually, based on your reasoning, literacy, and comprehensive skills, I can only assume you're still a high school student. Get that high school geography textbook and read.

Just as long as YOU don't start CAPITALISING FAR TOO many words for EXTRA EMPHASIS. Otherwise NO-ONE will take you SERIOUSLY!!!!

it IS an effective debating technique though.

I don't think so, since I now find myself casually scrolling past all of Eric Bloedow's posts because the letters offend my eyes.

Jack, you really are a sad little frustrated boy. Get a life.

Nice, what a strong argument you got there.
