Earth quakes are giant reptiles in the 5th dimension shaking the Earth to keep the sheeple in line. Not really, but that's about the level of response to expect.

That is probably the most sensible answer this thread will get! Earthquakes and Tremors are something that Flat Earthers never seem to mention - I assume there will be somesort of FE explanation for them happening....

Probably the Aether, an imaginary force that FE-ers use to solve everything.

Not to mention seismic tomography which uses large events to study the earths core-mantle boundary.  It is also amazing that by look at the signals received from global seismic stations it is possible to compute the depth and source mechanism of the earth quake.  Not a speck of FE in that work.

Volcanoes also seem to be a quiet subject for the Flatties.
If there was a large pool of magma under the flat earth, what is there to stop it finding it's way out through either the sides or the bottom of the disc?
Surely an active volcano erupting under the disk would weaken the structure of the disc itself?

flat earth is still a theory. round earth has been fleshed out for the better part of 2500 years, by the majority of the world's scholars.

Here, there is far less manpower and time put into the theory. Many, many parts of it are yet to be worked out. I would like a possible hypothesis for the above noted issues surrounding seismic activity.

Most of what we know about the interior of the Earth actually comes from stations picking up vibrations from Earthquakes from different parts of the world.  This is actually how the size of Earth's iron core is known.

Who said a flat Earth can't have plate tectonics?

Because Antarctica drifting around like the other continents doesn't fit well with FET.

Who said that plate tectonics are dependent upon Antarctica?

Good point, but FET also doesn't support the RET belief that what moves continents around is convection currents in the mantle.  I guess it would pe possible to make plate tectonics work in FET by simply attributing it to the Aether or something.

I don't believe I have seen an FE'er claim that there is not a molten layer beneath our feet.  The continents simply drift on this molten layer.

Is there any speculation as to what the earth looked like 1 million, 2, 5, 10 , 25 million years ago? Or is FE more of a young earth thought process?

I would speculate that it looked just as flat millions of years ago as it does today.

How about in terms of continents? Would the continents be in the same place? Would they have moved? If they did, under what force? What is pushing them? How are they being pushed? In what direction? Would they be able to move despite being encapsulated by an immovable ice wall? If they were, what portion of mass would give? would the wall expand slightly and increase the size of the earth?

I would speculate that the irregular heat transfer at the molten layer affects the position of the continents over time.  Is there anything else you want for me to guess about?
