That's the absurd part - the assumption by RE'ers that Australia is floating away. I'm blown away that you assert that as fact, it would sink long before it would float across the map...
Just how large are these movements?
A team of scientists is about to recalculate the nation's latitude and longitude coordinates, which are currently out by more than 1.5 metres.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Because Australia sits on the fastest moving continental tectonic plate in the world, coordinates measured in the past continue changing over time.
The continent is moving north by about 7 centimetres each year, colliding with the Pacific Plate, which is moving west about 11 centimetres each year.
From: Australia's latitude and longitude coordinates out by more than 1.5 metres
Now please come up with
proof of your claim that Australia moved 600 feet this way, a couple miles this way, sometimes moving it
hundreds of miles.
The 600 feet figure I know about. Australia
did not move, but in 1994 Australia adopted the GDA94 coordinate system to be consistent with GPS location across the world, see in
Geocentric Datum of Australia (GDA).Now as for the Flat Earth knowing where Australia is. The Flat Earth Societies don't even know the shape of a map of the world. Last time it came up, jroa I believe asserted that there is no "official flat earth map" and various Flat Earthers seem to think the world looks like:
Flat Earth Ice Wall Map | | Bipolar Flat Earth | | Map Northern Hemiplane, DET | | Map Southern Hemiplane |
All of these maps are proposed by various quite active flat earthers.
The left is of course is the (un)official "Ice Wall Map",
the next is the "Bipolar Map" "pushed" by Tom Bishop who is very prominent on T
F
E
S.org, and
the two on the right are the North and South Hemiplanes of JRoweskeptic's Dual Earth Theory.
Then of course you should ask Sandokhan what the earth looks like!
And have a look at
İntikam's, "New Map Suggest" You claim that the Flat Earth Sociaty has no such problem as Australia "moving"! It can even find even
find Australia in the first place!
