Tell me Mr Bercovici is wrong and that the subducting slab is not pulling the world apart (because it's cold ) (because it's dense). The slab, that is. Tell me the subducting slab doesn't really drive Plate Tectonics after all. I always thought the earth being hot inside and making convection currents had something to do with it, but now I learn, No, ..there is no need for potassium or any other 'um' in the core, ..that convection is a poloidal-toroidal motional thing, driven by the subducting slab, and the energy for driving is because the subducting slab is cold, ..that it sinks, ..dragging the whole ocean floor with it, creating pull-apart at the ridges, which are intruded by sheeted dyke swarms, because of partial melting, ... and transform faults cutting them as complementary results of slab-pull half a world away, due to minimisation of stress release in toroidal flow., .. This is mind-blowing stuff. I don't think I will sleep tonight, nor Jonathan's probably climbing into his bath as I write. Come ..I have to go away in a few days, ..Don't leave me in suspense. How Will some kryptonite do? ...or shall we call Bruce Willis You must Sign in before you can post messages.
