Subject: Question for the board
If it can be shown that the mid-ocean ridges have distended along
their length by an amount commensurate with that across the ridge,
would that put plate tectonics up the Proverbial Creek without the
Proverbial Paddle?

Just asking....

Sure it would, but this is not the case with mid-ocean ridges, so it is
a moot question.

It would, but the tricky bit, the data......which I suspect you have
otherwise you would not have raised this question.

Indeed that indicates that far from being only a Drift,  what you observe
( with data up you sleeve of course ) is NOT a drifting but a streching !
In a streching of course and remaining on a two dimensional appraisal, of
two points in relation to one another,  one appears to be drifting ! Correct
?

But the question which should be put to all the Geological blokes ( the
Oxfod, ANU, MITH etc bullocks included ) IS :

ARE YOU,  BLOODY FOOLS,   ABLE AT LONG LAST TO INTEGRATE  THAT WE ARE IN 3
DIMENSIONAL ENVIRONMENT !

Apparently those chaps at Curtin, WA Uni or Murdoch _  closest  to you then
_ , are still as well reasonning in term of Flat Earth !
I think someone got to take his courage with him, walk to Nedlands etc and
break the news to the poor sods !
I am sure after the initial surprise, they will celebrate you and that most
important breaking news !

Go ahead Don. You may get a medal on top of it !

Best luck. jp

Would it though?  Seriously...  Don't you reckon convecting cells
**could convect along their length as well as across?  I'm sure if
they could 'do a radial' (like a diapir), then two directions should
be just a piece of cake. (Well ok four.)  Then you could have
convective delamination going north (and/or south) under California as
well as east west, or you could vector it diagonally and make another
four.  ...Basins in every direction and as far afield as you like (if
EPR to Western Pacific subduction means anything).  No probs.  Things
all zigackly as they should be!  (Eh, b'jesus, ...just a tweak here
and a finagle there..!)  I know it's risking presenting pterotonics
with it's 'piece de resistance'(unasked), but I need to know.  (..I'm
surprised Carey didn't deal with this one.)
(Chewin' on spinach),
Don.

Well, that is the way they work every where but in a theory needing a
mechanism.  In fact, the tar pit of Holmes inspiration, the convection
radiated out in a circle.

There is only so much  one man can do.

I see, directional convection cells, hmm, how blindingly obvious.
