Plate
Tectonics -
A mechanism so flexible it is applied to
explain any geologic situation, and the explanations
are readily modified to incorporate unexpected evidence;
a theory that cannot be disproved. Globally
random; each location has its own peculiar
story. Driving
forces are speculative and inadequate.
Expanding
Earth -
Offers
only generalizations. Precise measurements
show Earth is not expanding. Cannot explain
Himalayas or ocean trenches (Marianas and Tonga).
Some of its continental motion does not follow
transform faults, as with Australia. No rational
source for new additions to Earth's mass, inside
Earth!
Hollow
Earth -
Offers
only generalizations. Seismic waves
show Earth is not hollow (press "Play"
button). Fluidized crust
explains crustal rebound from large impacts, not
a hollow Earth. Cannot explain Himalayas
or ocean trenches (Marianas and Tonga). Some
of its continental motion does not follow transform
faults, as with Australia. Precise measurements
show Earth is not expanding.
Hydroplate
-
Offers
only generalizations. Impossible initial
conditions.
Shock
Dynamics -
Virtually
all features developed from a single
event, features such
as the Andes,
the
Philippines, the East African Rift Zone,
the Mariana Trench, the Lord Howe Rise,
the
Appalachians, the Himalayas, Europe, the New
Hebrides,
the Bering Sea,
etc. Simple experiments show
how turbulence in shocked crust
shaped the seafloor (click on
blue above).

Experiments show that many layers of sedimentary
rock formed simultaneously, not one layer upon another
