Earthquakes prove sphere
« on: April 11, 2017, 09:17:34 PM »
FE folks keep refusing to hide from any evidence of things in the sky (Moon, Sun, stars...), and tend to distort or dismiss evidence from land and sea. What about under ground? Earthquakes are detectable across the globe in a very distinct and meaningful pattern. Is there an FE explanation of the S and P wave shadows?

You reveal a major FE fallacy: FE (and conspiracy nuts of all types) use an occasional bit of scientific controversy or confusion about a small topic to chuck a massive body of evidence. "This one bore hole had a couple of unexpected elements in it, therefore all geology is false." The entire article you posted (long and full of big words--nice!) did not actually offer any explanation of p-wave and s-wave shadows. All it offers is confusion. "If I can sow enough doubt about their theory, maybe a few but will buy whatever nonsense I can cough up." They say that the waves are caused by mysterious underground lakes. They provide nothing but conjecture to support that. The iron core in the RE model is consistent with the Earth's magnetic field. That's the thing that you FE folks do not understand: all observations and models and theories have to line up, or there's a problem. Every time somebody shows you how FE can't work, you just ignore it or make up nonsense that is not consistent with your other nonsense.

Fact: North America and Europe are getting further apart
Fact: sonar mapping shows a mid-Atlantic ridge
Fact: sea-floor robotic cameras have filmed oceanic sea-floor eruptions
Fact: most earthquakes take place along very well-defined lines around the Earth
Fact: most volcanoes are arranged along well-defined lines around the Earth
Fact: the Earth's magnetic field switches poles every several thousand years. This is recorded in bands of volcanic rock on the sea floor along ridges in bands parallel to the ridge that are equally wide in both directions (symmetrical spreading)

Here's a question: if there are underground lakes blocking P and S waves, then where are they in relation to volcanoes?

"North America and Europe are getting further apart"

Land masses can move on a plane earth.

"sonar mapping shows a mid-Atlantic ridge"

There is a mid-Atlantic ridge on a plane earth.

"sea-floor robotic cameras have filmed oceanic sea-floor eruptions"

There are volcanos and eruptions on a plane earth.

"most earthquakes take place along very well-defined lines around the Earth"

Using dutchsinse's website, I have been transferring EQ data to the "Scientifically accurate" plane earth map, it still makes complete sense.

"the Earth's magnetic field switches poles every several thousand years. This is recorded in bands of volcanic rock on the sea floor along"

Religious speculation.

Earthquakes happen, so the earth is a spinning speeding ball, nice connection!

which religion does tell that the magnetic field switches every servereal thousend years?

please give us the source of that claim.

Nope, documented fact. It was the final proof of sea floor spreading that confirmed continental drift as a process.

Read the OP again, that isn't what was said.
Facts won't do what I want them to.

Nope. Scientific reality, based upon observations.
Try again.

As for the rest, like usual, you ignore the key points and just set up pathetic strawmen to attack.
It isn't the presences of Earthquakes, it is how the shock propagates which matches a spherical Earth, not a flat one.

P.S. There is no scientifically accurate Flat Earth map.
There is nothing scientifically accurate about the Flat Earth at all.

Maybe that's why he/she put it in air quotes.
