Explain the plate tectonics.
« on: December 26, 2013, 09:48:52 PM »
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plate_tectonics

What causes earthquakes on a flat earth? Plat tectonics? oh, so what movers the plat tectonics in a flat earth? It can't be the forces related to gravity, flat earthers don't believe in gravity. It can't be related to earth rotation, flat earthers believe the earth is static. So how do the tectonic plates move? or do flat earthers have a different theory on the causes of earthquakes?

I find it interesting that questions like these, very reasonable questions which are frankly inarguable.. never get answered on this lunatic site.

I don't see why plate tectonics can not occur on a flat Earth.  Maybe you can enlighten me?

I have in the past asked FE's to explain the presence of tholeiitic and calc-alkaline basalts within a FE plate tectonic framework, the issue being of course it doesn't really work in a FE model.

As a so called RE (I really don't get why we need a name but anyway).. I'd actually be very interested to hear more.... Geology fascinates me..

Well, without a conveyor belt mechanism, which Spherical Earth has, no a flat earth could not have moving crust..

Please show us the mechanism for your flat earth...

If you want me to guess, I would guess that the force of the Aetheral Winds is causing the bottom side to heat up.

Excuse my ignorance, what are Aetheral Winds?

magical? More evidence of your near total lack of really any knowledge at all...

http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/why-is-the-earths-core-so/

http://www.natureworldnews.com/articles/1606/20130426/earths-core-temperature-hellish-6-000-degrees-celsius-new-study.htm

Now wind.. yes i know that air friction can heat things up, in fact on some supersonic airplanes, the skin friction (From the air) can heat the skin of a plane up so much you can fry an egg on it..

The Concord expanded so much when in flight due to skin friction, it was 2 feet longer in the cruise than it was on the ground.

Air friction cannot turn rock into liquid. Which is the mechanism, the only mechanism, that would cause plate tectonics...

But arguing with someone who makes up the laws of physics to suit their own childish arguments, is impossible. Never argue with a fool - cardinal law of argument.

So please, can someone else take over from this imbecile.

If there is enough "wind" to accelerate the entire Earth at 9.8m/s/s, then would there not be enough friction to warm the core?  ???

So you support one make believe theory with another totally make believe theory..?!  which in it's self would be impossible...  its already been debunked on this site - the speed the earth would be traveling would be so many times the speed of light its pointless even wasting breath on it..

And what force is pushing it up?

And how does it effect space around us..

Look don't worry... you're fool with too much time on your hands, and you've wasted too much of mine.

Incorrect.  We have to constantly prove to you people that the Earth would not be traveling faster than the speed of light, no matter how long it has been accelerating.

And the speed of light and the formuls to calculate velocity from acelleration is?

Friction is NOT how string winds can heat things up, it's compressive heating that does it.

You got it. If it was on the flat earth there would be giant holes as the plates move apart.

Friction is NOT how string winds can heat things up, it's compressive heating that does it.

We were talking about aetheral winds pressing up on the bottom of the Earth to accelerate it.  You would have friction from the wind itself and also the compression of the whole Earth.  The extreme pressure at the core of the Earth, combined with the friction of the aether as it moved across the bottom of the Earth would cause a great amount of heat to be stored in the middle of the Earth. 

Why are we bringing back threads that have been long dead, anyway?

You're the FET expert.
What force, in the FET, can move continents?
You have no rotational centrifuge, no gravitational wobbling and no gravitational unbalance to provoke motion.

My theory is that the Aetheric Winds pushing against the bottom of the Earth cause two major things to happen.  First, the Earth becomes compressed as the bottom side is accelerated causing the middle area of the planet to experience very high pressures.  Second, the friction of the Aether as it passes along the bottom of the Earth produces heat.  As this heat is conducted towards the high pressure middle area of the Earth, the Earth itself begins to liquefy.

And, finally, the heat from the unspent Phlogiston at the center of the Earth seals the deal and causes a vast pool of magma.  The upper crust of spent Phlogiston can simply skate around (so to speak) on this pool of magma.  Since the crust is fractured, different parts of it can move towards or away from other crusty parts. 

So, going by this theory, I do not see any problems with plate tectonics on a flat Earth.

I do. The shape of recordable plates, if laid out in a flat manner do not fit the description of a Flat Monopoleic Earth. If they are convex, however, they fit together in a spherical jigsaw.

They don't fit together perfectly on either map.  However, we can see that they are close enough to support either theory.

I don't know how you define "close".
Perhaps I should print a map, cut out the pieces and arrange them around a monopole so you can see the giant gaps in the southern hemisphere.
