Absolutely love your series. Got really interested in geology when my wife did this as a unit for her degree studies and asked for assistance. Got hooked. We live in New Zealand. Did not take me long to find out we are living over a divergent rift with some of the fastest growing mountain formations on the planet. Our continent of Zelandier is on a fast moving plate junction with the Austrilasian plate. We also have an oceanic mountain chain with the Hikurangi trench. We are one of the only countries with this kind of involvement over plate boundaries. We are the youngest habited island on our planet, so this is geology living for me. Wish I had made this my work life as I am mid seventies and feel as though I am running out of time to achieve significant studies in geology. So thanks for your series. Don't forget the southern hemisphere as the biggest fastest moving tech-plate on earth. We live across it. Cheers on a brilliant series. Phil.

Great accessible videos. As a metaphysician, I find plate tectonics quite in line with post-modern thinking, which claims that there's no firm foundation for human existence. I'm fascinated by all the movements you described in this lecture, but by far the most inspiring to me is the hotspot tracking phenom: literally, it's the core inscribing its ardent message on the crust. That's writing--like me now, except more turbulently... 🙃 I noticed that track of underwater volcanoes on a Google Earth map a few years ago, but didn't know what to make of it. Keep the good work going.

After discovering ridges hundreds of miles long on the Athlantic seabed, it took scientists or geologists another ten years to understand what they were and how they were formed. They linked them to the spreading of the continents, and core samples taken of surface deposits and bed rocks showed that the age of the samples differed greatly, proving that new seabed were formed closer to the Atlantic drift. That proved the theory that continents were being shifted in different directions by these underground forces, recycling the sea floors through subduction as continents collided. I'm no expert but geologist Myron Cook has taught me a lot on his KZfaq channel about this subject. I recommend watching his channel if you want to learn about Geology, especially if you are a greenhorn like me who knew zero about the subject till I started watching his videos.

Two questions: ● At a transform boundary, is it possible that only one plate moves? Or must they both actively move past one another? ● Do _all_ ocean seamounts/volcanoes end up with fringing reefs? If so, why? Is it because the sloped surfaces give microorganisms and corals easier access to the sunlight for completing photosynthesis?
@EarthandSpaceSciencesX2 жыл бұрын
1) Good question! Transform motion is relative, so both plates can even go in the same direction but if one is going faster, the fault will move. Imagine two cars on the freeway, but one is in the fast lane and the other one in the slow lane. The two cars will separate due to their relative difference in speed. 2) Another good question. Not all seamounts end up with fringing reefs or even form reefs because limestone reefs are predominantly a tropical climate feature. Without the warm water in the tropical oceans, limestone in reefs won't precipitate. Island chains in cold water environments, such as the Aleutians in Alaska, are a good examples of islands without reefs.

Two trains moving together on parallel tracks. Then the left train suddenly moves faster than the right train. This is repeated with each side trading speeds more or less. This is what is happening on the SAF, it’s not moving in opposing directions of each other as is commonly taught. A more accurate depiction of a Transform Fault would be a line with one side having a long arrow and a short arrow under it, and the other side having a short arrow and a long arrow under it and all in the same direction.

The tidal forces move the ground in about 0.38 m vertical and 0.05m horizontal amplitude, and can trigger volcanoes and earthquakes. There are definitely enough force to move continents. If you put a rock on ground, this won't be noticeable, because the ground (continent) moves with it. Likewise you won't notice ocean tide, if you are sailing in middle of the ocean, as the whole ocean rises. Other question is, how much this can move continents in relation with each other. The convection cycles seem to be another great, even greater force affecting the continental movement, but I would expect a significantly different continent formation, if the tidal forces would be absent.

Hey, thanks for the videos. Sorry to be ridiculous and discuss topics of this video with respect to the Expanding Earth theory. Prior to the proposal of plate tectonics, the expanding Earth model was the scientific consensus. There was no persuasive mechanism proposed for how the Earth could have expanded, and so when plate tectonics arrived, it was taken to be more likely, so much so that the entire concept of the expanding Earth model is not simultaneously given consideration of observations any longer, and so we cannot see instances where anomalies are in favor of the expanding Earth model compared to plate tectonics. Regarding Pangaea, that the continents fit together into a single landmass known as Pangaea is accepted by science, but the presence of the ocean at the time of the existence of this Pangaea continent is assumed. While the continents fit together into a single landmass with an ocean, more significantly they fit together into a single landmass *without* an ocean and on a smaller radius globe. This cannot be dismissed offhandedly, even if the exactness of the match is debatable. 7:39 Interestingly, if the Earth expanded from a build up of internal pressure that broke through the outer crust, it would be most susceptible to these pressures at the poles--especially the south pole, where the physical flow of a river of particles of which the magnetic field is composed literally carve and apply a pressure to the crust at this position. It is as if the Earth shattered around the South pole as the continents were split from one another and material rushed out of the Earth into the space between the continents. India even has a circular shaped gravitational anomaly as if remnants of the location's history as the south pole of the Earth. 12:37 "He knew that they were together, he just couldn't explain *why* they had separated...and so this was actually a big problem for his ideas for a long time, and the reason is the proposed mechanism defies the laws of physics." While you are discussing Wegener and Continental Drift, this same line of reasoning actually applies to the Expanding Earth model where the pieces fit together in the same way, but *more so* by being on a smaller globe. The proposed mechanisms were insufficient and so *even to this day* the model is treated as if it has no value. When it is the true history of Earth. Pardon me for saying. The Earth's expansion is due to its magnetic field being composed literally as flows of physical particles locked in gravitational orbits where they physically pass through the Earth and flow in a Figure-8 structure. The high concentration of particles all meeting at the center of the planet causes them to physically combine into larger particles and literally produced mass within the Earth that was then trapped, larger macroscopic particles not able to come out in the same way as prior. 16:54 "'It's very possible that the sea floor is actually being ripped apart.' Of course we don't really observe this up on the continents, but on the sea floor, if you are able to get a really good view, it turns out he is completely right." Or it *was* ripped apart, and *was* spread when the Earth expanded, but the process is largely slowed to the point of no longer being observable because Earth is in a relative state of equilibrium. If the Earth built up pressure by producing mass until the Earth ruptured, it would occur rapidly where the system would go between two equilibriums with a rapid transitional phase like radioactive decay. Which, in a sense the Earth actually underwent because it released excess internal pressure to the exterior lower energy environment which led to rapid radioactive decay initially, like the flow from the pressure of a liquid in a tank when it is full or nearing empty. We then use modern decay rates to date the process as millions of years when it was much more rapid. 22:10 Regarding reversals of the magnetic field imprinted in the sea floor, it also can be explained by a rapid Earth Expansion model. When the continents were fractured apart by building up internal pressure cracking the entire crust of the planet, magma was able to rush into the openings between the continents from within the mantle as the weak point locations of the fractures, and this magma pushed outward against the continents but not at the same elevation as the continental shelves, causing the continents, fractured from one another and able to freely move, to be shoved apart and the newer magma coming from the Earth kept pushing out on the continents by pushing against older magma until the internal pressure was released and the continents took their current shapes and forms. Water that was also released in the process receded to the ocean beds and formed the oceans after having reshaped the surfaces of the continents. When the sea floor was being formed, the Earth itself was functioning as a reaction does. When a system reaches a new steady state, it vibrates both above and below the equilibrium repeatedly as it "zeroes in" on stability. This vibrational process was observable in its magnetic field flipping back and forth until the Earth stabilized again. 26:53 If the Earth fractured at Antarctica but generally the energy expelled was into the Pacific Ocean, it looks as if it produced a first pulse of flow that was circular that then was largely pushed assymetrically into Asia when a second pulse from the release was more like the Atlantic and other locations, causing equal spreading at the fracture in the Earth's crust location. Earthquake maps make sense with the Expanding Earth model just the same. 28:20 "The South American Plate is moving to the west, the Nazca plate is moving to the East." If the Earth were to expand, it would have pressures released at the fractures pushing continents from multiple sides in this way, which ultimately would lead to a new equilibrium position for all continents as we see today. 29:20 centimeters of spreading per year is essentially at a perfect balance equilibrium. Even numbers that appear large are just remnants of when the Earth expansion process occurred. We can see locations where the most material was released, and thereby the most pressure, by these spread rates. The energy release in the Pacific was especially into the Asian region, and separating Australia from Asia, and these waves of energy emitted penetrated into the Asia and physically, when hitting sufficient resistance, bounced back away from the continents and pulled arcs of continental shelf into the island of Japan and other various locations. Where the energy reflected off of the continent is known as the "North-South Gravitational Lineament." ...
@earthexpanded2 жыл бұрын
31:45 Oceanic crust "recycles themselves every few hundred million years." This is an assumption generally made by plate tectonics because we observe that the continental crust is significantly older than the oceanic crust, and we have evidence of these "plates" sliding underneath the continental shelf enough to see it physically is generally occurring. If the Earth expanded from a different equilibrium due to internal pressure buildup to its current state, then there would be a process that occurred but is largely stabilized now, meaning there never was a recycle process going on in the assumed manner. This matters because we are assuming a long history of now unobservable material that has no way to demonstrate evidence for except extrapolation and by maintaining a plate tectonic interpretation. This is actually a strong argument in favor of the Expanding Earth model, as the ocean floor is actually fully explained without needing to invoke any unseen recycled material hidden away eternally from view in order to meet the model's Earth's history expectations of the ocean existing for as long as the continental shelf. 35:29 "...hot mantle moving up, basically trying to evacuate that heat, and it puts tensional forces on the crust and it starts to rip the crust open." If this were to be true, then why would the hot mantle specifically move up to the surface along fracture lines that wrap around the whole planet? This makes no sense in comparison to the concept that the Earth's crust was once a single landmass and it ripped apart and internal pressure pushed material out along the totality of the fracturing, non-uniformly dependent on local conditions. Whereas the hot mantle moving up concept is like a bubble that would be a single point not a fracture line that wraps around the planet. 39:05 "And this is exactly how you form the Himalayan Mountains." I beg to differ; the Himalayan mountains are actually physically in an arc shape that demonstrates the focal point where the energy originated was from the north. India was part of the region already because the Earth was smaller. The Himalayan mountains were much more likely formed by water flooding the continent and physically pushing down with its weight into the terrain until it raised mountains in front of it. In the eastern region of the Himalayas, they even spill down *to the south* in the Sichuan region demonstrable of the direction the energy was flowing, south not north. 39:50 Importantly, the oceanic crust is not just shoved under the continental shelf but so was water. This water is essential for the formation of volcanoes. 42:38 "What's really interesting is when you go up to the top of Mount Everest there's actually marine fossils at the top." This is also evidence that the mountains were formed by water. This is assumed to be evidence of an ancient sea, but that stems from a scientific aversion to flood related explanations. Yet, truth is truth. 45:28 Discussion of Hawaii. "No subduction, no formation of mid ocean ridge, why do we have this here?" While plate tectonics can just insert a hot spot explanation, it does not provide a reason for why the islands of Hawaii specifically point to a sharp corner in the continental shelf wall. As evidenced by the arcs Alaska, energy rippled through the region. The fact that the islands of the Hawaiian chain end at this corner is essential. It is indicative that energy was getting trapped in the corner as the Earth was expanding and the continents were moving, causing the corner to deposit material over the ocean floor as the system was in flux. This left behind an imprint of the motion where it was going in one direction and then suddenly--as if running into resistance from the other side of the world pushing in the opposite direction, there was a shift in the motion of the ocean floor being formed relative to the corner depositing material which gives it the distinct L shape. The islands being formed in the presence of water are volcanic in nature, but as the energy dissipated it formed smaller islands until they became under water parts of the chain. Plate tectonics provides *no explanation* for why the Hawaiian islands would just arbitrarily happen to end at a very unique corner structure where waves would reasonably amass materials. "It comes up here and subducts under Russia." There is no sense in an extremely anomalous island chain that takes a distinct bend to end at a corner by utter happenstance. The two are undoubtedly related. It isn't "just" where the chain "happens to" subduct and evidence disappears. It is where the islands were formed and only in the earlier phases of the Earth expansion was there enough energy involved to produce enough material so as to be above sea level--thus why what are *actually* the first of the islands formed are the largest (Hawaii) and the rest are smaller as the energy in the process dwindled. The point being, this can all be interpreted in a completely different model and even if some of my personal takes are "lacking" does not mean plate tectonics, being worked on across decades by thousands of people, is more sound. The earth for certainty underwent expansion, *not* plate tectonics. This is a conversation the scientific community must have once again out in the open for the world to see.

Thank you for this it was both fascinating and instructive. Though I must state that when describing the Apalation and Caledonian mountain ranges you state they go through Ireland and Scotland, “yet not though Britain” you might with to state “England” Great Britain comprises of Scotland England and Wales, The United Kingdom incorporates Great Britain and Northern Ireland. It’s a regular mistake and I’m trying not to be a “Karen” about it just just wanted you to know. Otherwise fab!!

May not be the right place for advancent speculations. But planetary expansion resulting from the decay of heavy matter into lighter elements is compelling althought not taken into account. Funny part is that the surface and the volume of a sphère do not grow equally! Geometricaly the double of the surface of a sphère is smaller than the surface of the double of the volume. Witch suggests that new resulting surface is constantly been filled by new crust from the magma.

Sir, if the continents are fixed to, and are part of their respective plates, then why would a good "fit" regarding the continents to Pangea be formed by connecting the continental margins rather than by the plates themselves. If the plates are constantly being compressed and subducted, by their interactions with each other, then some sort of contact would have had to have been occurring beyond the edges of the continental margins. The visuals of the margins and the plates that you present are quite different in size, and in number as well. Thank you for your presentations and in advance for helping me to understand.

Where is the subduction though? No photographs or any evidence of it. All there is is diagrams and the same inadequate explanation. Plenty of pics and evidence of sea floor spreading but none of subduction. And if the subduction was in the shallower parts of the sea and very close to our shorelines, then surely it should be easier to prove subduction? Surely it would push something up as it dives down, or we could find some sea floor pushing under the continental crust but there is zilch.

Point of order: The Appalachian/Caledonian chain *does* go through Britain - the nation state of the United Kingdom, informally known as Britain, includes the country of Scotland; the Caledonians are the Highlands of Scotland, which as a country is made up of the northern part of the island of Great Britain, plus a boatload of islands. The country the mountain chain does *not* go through is England!

The 50million yr prediction, is that assuming the magnetic field doesn't flip in that time or does the magnetic field not have too much say is plate directions?
@EarthandSpaceSciencesX2 жыл бұрын
It will probably flip a few times during the next 50 million years but there is little to no evidence that the reversing magnetic field will have any influence on plate tectonics.
