The continental plate forms high mountains, the Andes in South America. Plate tectonic theory grew from Wegener's continental drift hypothesis and is the unifying theory underlying modern geology and geophysics. The lateral movement of the Plate tectonic theory arose out of the hypothesis of continental drift proposed by Alfred Wegener in 1912 and expanded in his 1915 book The Origin of Continents and Oceans. How could such glaciation occur on a mountain that did not exist until after the Flood? Earthquakes, volcanic activity, mountain-building, and oceanic trench formation occur along plate boundaries. Scientists have successfully used it to explain many geological events, such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions as well as mountain building and the formation of the oceans and continents. The Society's writers are not unaware of the facts that high mountains existed prior to the Flood, that plate tectonics explains their formation, and even that mountains have gone through many cycles of creation and destruction. Continental drift) as a contributor to climate change. Divergent or spreading boundaries, and transform boundaries. The paper in the above paper assesses plate tectonics (i.e. I really love all your posts about continental and plate tectonics and the nature of the LAB and mountain building… this is easily the most interesting aspect of geology/geophysics to myself and i really enjoy your writing regarding these subjects. These cycles of continental drift have produced many episodes of mountain building. If continents are drifting, then plate tectonics is responsible. Metageologist says: 9 August, 2012 at 8:24 pm.
