Catastrophic Plate Tectonics
-
Offers
only generalizations. Requires contrived
initial conditions. Ignores trench
rollback.
Plate
Tectonics -
Globally
random; each location has its own little
story. Driving
forces are hidden.
Shock
Dynamics - Virtually
all features developed from the same
event; features such
as the Andes, Europe,
the
Philippines, the East African Rift Zone,
the Mariana Trench, the Lord Howe Rise, the
Appalachians, the New
Hebrides,
the Himalayas, the Bering Sea,
etc. etc. Simple experiments show
how turbulence in the shocked crust
formed ocean floor features (click on
blue above).
