So, Pterologists still want India to collide with Asia to crumple/
throw/ toss up the Himalayas... How did India manage to cross the
spreading ridge to carry out this feat?
http://users.indigo.net.au/don/nonsense/indiadrift.html

Why didn't it crumple Madagascar (southern position) or Ethiopia
(northern position) instead of the Himalayas?

Come on you lot. Let's see the crinkle of your crumple of your

Well said Sir, .. But for the meantime geologist are going to have to
put up with the terror of having no explanation for an Earth that is
patently getting bigger. I'm not sure what can be done about all the
other problems that implicitly arise from that, for example how the
elements come into existence. Plate Tectonics ignores this by saying
they were always there as they are, in just the right amount to
explain what we see. Certainly it's going to be interesting times,
once the Earth's spin is taken into account.... which forces them
down an expansion road, and to address questions about a whole lot of
things. Talk about a sinking ship...

In fact the problem, Don, is that the reasoning of those Googling
Gogologist Geeks ( GGG) is still founded on a Flat Earth model ... and
I clearly mean that you, Florian, Oriel36 and a few other bright &
seeking minds have right here the parade from the True Geology
indeed !

No straight lines on Curved surface as a well known German
Mathematician demonstrated ... okay ?
What do we see then on the maps illustrating the alleged drifts or
rafting of continent : Vectors !

the Vectorial approach does apply to a flat surface like a flat Earth
but not to spherical one as it is in reality. Further as Oriel36 has
seen well the Equatorial bulging is the consequences of internal
plastic material response to the Earth spin & then to centrifugal
forces - on each planets too even shooting in outer space as in
Jupiter, Saturn & gone on further ones

No continents can jump over such Equatorial bulge without utter
deformation in scales following "track made good" and further as the
Equatorial Bulge is affecting all lithosphere including the Poles, no
continental alleged drift can take place on any longitude without
dragging without dragging the rest of the Lithosphere with it !

A) So vectors on a sphere shout in outer space and at best on
tangential points of application for a short span (arc) of Great
Circle, a few degrees at best
B) The intercontinental ridges or mid-ocean ridges demonstrates by
their own existence and stability of structure that NO such Dragging
of lithosphere takes places ... they demonstrates as well than NO
continental rafting of any kind is taking place as well since none
could cross the seems on the Earth continuity which they do represents
( and so for Equatorial Bulge)

In conclusion NO amount of demonstration from your well seen
observations & most distinguished comments on the incoherence of the
theory of PT matched with reliefs WILL EVER convinced the Academics
Parasites !!!

BUT Mathematical & especially vectorial calculus demonstrates that
the whole PLATE TECTONICS CONSTRUCTION IS THE OUTPUT OF MATHEMATICAL
IGNORAMUS

... elementary Dr Findlay !

The ridge that is the mid-ocean Indian ridge originally formed between
India
and Madagascar. India did not cross a ridge, did not have to crumple
Madagascar, did not have to pay 2-0-0...

For sure, India+Seychelles detached from Ethiopia+old 170-120Ma
basin+Madagascar about 90 Ma ago. Then India detached from Seychelles 60
Ma ago.
India remained connected to Australia+antarctica up to 120 Ma ago. Note
that Western Australia was connected to South-china 120 Ma ago.
And it follows logically that India remained close to asia during all
that time, only separated from asia by a narrow basin that got finally
close by eduction.

I don't usually take stuff for granted and prefer to check by myself
using hard data and not wishful interpretation that suit preconceived
ideas.

Look again: http://nachon.free.fr/GE/indian/Indiadrift.jpg

Australia was connected to South china 120 Millions years ago according
to the isochrons. As India was connected to australia at the same time,
then India was close to Asia 120 Millions Ago. As India is currently
connected to Asia, it logically follows that India remained close to
Asia during all that time. Case closed.

Second, he fails to included data from the ocean floor, primarily
because none exists, which makes it an artistic rendering more from
imagination.

Florian:
Case open: you did not interpret the isochrons correctly.
Some of the isochrons that would have appeared between
Australia and Indonesia (not "South China") several million years ago
have been eliminated by the Australian plate's subduction beneath
the Sunda Plate (i.e,., beneath Indonesia).
The yellow line around Indonesia indicates an
"Overthrusting front", i.e., a subduction zone where Indonesia
has been overthrust over the Australian continental shelf, and
formerly over oceanic crust north of, and attached to, that shelf.
The isochrons older than 150 Ma that would have appeared
north of Australia cannot be represented on that map because
the rock that old has disappeared.
According to the isochrons, India was separating from Australia
up to about 50 million years ago, along a defunct "Spreading ridge"
now extending southwest from Sumatra.
That defunct spreading ridge then started being subsumed
beneath Sumatra because of increased activity along the present
spreading ridge that extends southeast from the Arabian Peninsula.
According to the isochrons, the defunct spreading ridge, and
the Indian and Australian Plates, started to be subsumed beneath
Indonesia a little more than 50 million years ago.
According to the isochrons, the Sunda Plate existed between
South China and Australia 140 million years ago, so,
according to the isochrons, there is no possibility that
"Australia was connected to South china 120 Millions years ago".
Indeed,
according to the isochrons,
Australia was more than 30 degrees latitude
(i.e., about 4000 miles or about 6500 km)
from South China "120 Millions years ago".

Please, why did you use a graphic aid that so clearly demonstrates
that your claims are false and that your logic is faulty at its base?
I am confuused; were you joking, above?
Please elucidate your true position.

Correction: The following is NOT an interpretation, but the result of
an over active imagination, using assumptions.

If you wish to show how the isochrons, which exist, supports your
view, you must provide actual data, NOT "would have" "disappeared"


"That defunct spreading ridge then started being subsumed"

The only thing you have shown to be false is your grip on reality.

That is good, made me laugh.

As for psychology and the workings of the mind, I do understand how
hard it is to break with conditioning and stop imagining things that
are not there.

There is no ocean between India and Asia, and it is imagining to see
one in the past.

When you can admit that little bit will consider progress has been

Oh boy, let's examine your arguments.

Some isochrons between Australia and Indonesia have been eliminated by
Indonesia? Jeeez, that certainly makes a lot of sense...

Let me explain you the correct interpretation derived from the isochrons
without using any assumption and based on that figure:

<http://nachon.free.fr/GE/indian/Indiadrift.jpg>

The isochrons between Australia, the east coast of India and Indonesia
display an extinct ridge oriented SE-NW and fractures oriented NS.
Obviously that ocean floor got overthrusted by bulging indonesia.
Still the existence of that ridge show that western Australia was
connected to a continent in the continuation of India east coats, before
the expansion of Indonesia, i.e., south china.

So about 120 millions years ago Africa/India/Australia/South china were
all connected. This is well illustrated by Maxlow's model based on
isochrons and geological data:

<http://nachon.free.fr/Maxlow/MaxlowIndia.png>

Note that the other side of India (North West Coast/Gujarat/Rajasthan)
was connected to Arabia and Africa's horn, down to Madagascar.

He's using FLo's map in the link given above.


Flo is flat out wrong. In fact, quite frankly,
I have no idea how Flo arrives at SE-NW orientation for a fossil ridge
and I suspect
neither does Daryl.

The only thing I can figure is a comedy of errors where Flo looked at
the
seeming symmetric isochron pattern in the Eastern IO, which does have
a
SE-NW orientation. However, even that wouldn't be the direction
parallel to the
axis of the fossil ridge. Or maybe Flo doesn't know his W from his E.


The fracture zones are aligned in a SSW-NNE direction. The spreading
segments have a nearly
E-W axis and the fossil ridge is oriented as Daryl says SW-NE, as
indicated by the "yellow streak"
in the eastern IO. Some pretty good extinct transform faults too.

Still want to publish your ideas Flo?

Nuance JT. There was a narrow oceanic basin, but not a 10000 km wide
ocean. That basin got crushed by later crust emplacement.

Most reconstructions at 200 Ma show India entirely souther than africa's
horn.

However, that is not possible as North-West India (Gujarat/Rajasthan
provinces) must remain north of Africa's horn, because the ridge passes
south of Arabia and North of Ethiopia.

Except for those who believe that India jumped the ridge. Are you one of
these believers?

Some isochrons between Australia and Indonesia have been eliminated by


Indonesia? Jeeez, that certainly makes a lot of sense...

Let me explain you the correct interpretation derived from the isochrons
without using any assumption and based on that figure:

<http://nachon.free.fr/GE/indian/Indiadrift.jpg>

The isochrons between Australia, the east coast of India and Indonesia

display an extinct ridge oriented SW-NE and fractures oriented NS.


Obviously that ocean floor got overthrusted by bulging indonesia.
Still the existence of that ridge show that western Australia was
connected to a continent in the continuation of India east coats, before
the expansion of Indonesia, i.e., south china.

So about 120 millions years ago Africa/India/Australia/South china were
all connected. This is well illustrated by Maxlow's model based on
isochrons and geological data:

<http://nachon.free.fr/Maxlow/MaxlowIndia.png>

Note that the other side of India (North West Coast/Gujarat/Rajasthan)
was connected to Arabia and Africa's horn, down to Madagascar.

Good boy.

There is an extinct ridge oriented SW-NE, with ridge segments oriented
E-W and perpendicular fractures oriented N-S.

Note that the fractures becomes progressively NWW-SEE, from 90 Ma to
130-140 Ma which means that australia rotated counter clockwise by about
60° during that period.

So, at 140 Ma, the west coast of Australia was jointed to another
continental mass symetrical to this extinct ridge and in the
continuation of India's east coast. And that continental mass can only
be a piece of current China.

On a growing Earth, that configuration did not change much before 200 Ma
because the growth was much slower than current growth and craton did
not move too much relatively to each others. So one should expect that
australia and China remained close, from archean to 150 Ma. This is
confirmed by geochemical and geological data (*).

Even better, the data also confim that australia was surrounded by
India/Antarctica/China/Laurentia, in good agreement with the growing
earth model made by Maxlow. Case closed.

Why does that make any sense? India had already collided with Asia by
the
time Aden opened up.

You seem to be of the opinion the central Indian ridge has always been
extensive
as it is now.

So what? It does not change nothing to the issue.

So you really don't understand why it is not possible for the Northwest
part of India to cross the horn... Quite amazing.

At least Torsvik is aware about it, as he respected this constraint for
retrofits in his last paper (Fig3a; Torsvik et al, 2008, Reviews of
Geophysics, 46, RG3004 / 2008), even if it does mess up the fit around
antarctica...
Of course, as the bits were once joined on a smaller globe, when one
tries to make them stick all on a larger globe, a hole appears on one
side when one tries to fill the hole on the other side...

Can't you use your brain?

Do you expect that the configuration has evolved a lot between 150 Ma
and 1440 Ma if the growth during 150 Ma is much larger than that between
150 and 1440 Ma!

Obviously not! And as the pacific was only a margianl bassin at that
time, you expect all the old cratons surrounding the current pacific,
India/Australia/Antarctica/China/Siberia/Laurentia/Amazonia, to be close
to each others at that time.

Guess what? This is exactly what is *observed*.

Sure EE applies no constraints at all. Why you can have the Earth
stretch this way,
then that way. It can bulge here and there, and now you claim its
bulging at 30S.

Your expansion is completely ad hoc with no constraints of physics or
anything else.

There's nothing in Tron's review paper that gives any comfort to EE,
nor is there anything
to suggest India over ran a ridge.

Silly.

Oh boy, showing how ignorant you are in matter of planetary growth.

On the contrary, the displacement of cratons are extremely contraint as
they cannot wander all around the globe and their relative displacement
is very limited at the time the growth was much slower, i.e., 150 Ma.

That's why the planetary growth model can predict the configuration of
cratons billions of years ago. They barely moved as more surface was
empalced between them.

You just can't get it. Go fishin'

Believe? keyword: "observed"

Ignorant zealot, this how sicence works:
Observation=>model=>prediction from model=>confirmation of prediction by
observation=> validation of model.

Planetary growth is a validated model, whereas PT can't make predictions
at all. Case closed. Go fishin with Stuart.

Please explain how you get andesite from peridotite if you don't
use subducted sediments to yield the felsics you need.

Your only argument is a heterogeneous mantle . But , considering that
andesite like magmas have become more common as we approach
modern arc deposits , that looks more like selective enrichment than
permanent heterogeneity. That is , heterogeneity is a " recent "
mantle
geochemical aspect. Andesites should be as common in ancient flows
as they are in modern flows ,and that is not the case .

Andesites appear to postdate granite occurance geologically.

I know this doesn't follow from the thread your thread . But , it is
an
aspect of your overall argument that I'm convinced you haven't
fully explained.

You must understand that we don't know the constraints on the
composition of the rising material.

Heterogeneity results inevitably from successive emplacement of material
as the planet grows.

Which would mean that arc magmatism changes as the planet grows.

And they are certainly many more aspect like that. The task of

Planetary growth by accretion is a validated model; planetary growth

So what? Most sediments at a trench come from the forearc.

No dear. Subduction is all about recycling which should lead to
homogeneity.

Anyway, subduction does not fit the data at all. Everything point toward
upduction (deformation of arc material, arc curvature, heat flow,
intrusions, extension in the back arc, sediments in the trench).

Same problem here. The concept of subduction is baseless and against the
data.

There are plenty of proof on Earth, and lot of clues on other planets,
Especially those with a marked surface dichotomy like Earth: look at
Mars, Ganymede, enceladus etc...

The ridge started to the South of India. As India moved to the North,
the ridge propagated to the North and West, and Aden didn't open up
until
India had docked with Asia.

Either what you mean by "crossing a ridge" differs from what most
people
mean by "crossing a ridge", don't understand Scotese's reconstruction
or have some impairment that prevents you from noticing that India
didn't
cross a ridge.

This post is exactly why you have no credibility. It's just like when you
claim that some author's data demonstrates some nonsense in which the author
himself doesn't actually support you. Gee, if one were to go by what you
posted, one might get the impression that I never go to the library. The
fact is that this is what I actually said:

"Sorry. I don't go to libraries to read papers ***you cite as a defense of
your arguments on usenet***." In other words, you're just not that damned
important to me. You claim not to be a creationist, but you've obviously
taken logic lessons from them. Quote mining is the last defense of the
insane. Now, why don't you take a hike and go fuck yourself!

Nice cop out. We have a pretty good idea as to what the bulk chemistry
of
the mantle is. Thats why petrological models of the mantle give the
correct seismic
wave speeds to within a percent or two.

So what Flo basically suggest if he believes Maxwell, is that the
Earth's
mass has increased some 60% after formation by *expansion*, yet
current rising
material which gives rise to the expansion is now a substantially
different
composition then what has formed the Earth since it began expansion.

Kimberlites are rocks that have there origins in the upper mantle.
They have a
wide distribution of ages.

So EE is a *theory* in which the earth expands God knows why, through
the production
of God knows what.

Uh -uh. You begin with wave speeds, then determine petrologic models
from that. You said so yourself:-

If there's one thing you can't deny in Plate Tectonics, it's the use

..No. An observation tantamount to fact. Unlike Plate Tectonics,
which unashamedly begins with the convenient assumption of a

No need to wave hands and ululate in tongues. It would seem logical
to think that it expands by a process whose manifestation at the
surface of the Earth is water, calcium, alumina, iron, magnesium, and
silica.

You use wave speeds to constrain the petrologic models. The starting
point of
these petrologic models is what we find in rocks like in Kimberlite,
Ophiolites and other complexes. You squeeze and
heat them and ask what seismic wave speeds do you get?. There are
other constraints too, such as mass
and moment of inertia. The statement has some circularity, but not
what you think.

My fundamental point is that there is something seriously wrong in
suggesting that just recently
(geologically speaking), new material causing the expansion is
different than the material
that comprises the bulk of the earth, that according to EE was
generated over the past billion years or so.
That is an inconsistency.

Any composition is possible for the rising material? Then what is the
connection between current Mantle
chemistry and previous expansion? How can current mantle bulk
chemistry be divorced from previous expansion which
purportedly increased the mass of the Earth by 60% if not more?

No, ..no.. No. That is not what is at issue. It's your model of
planetary accretion that is in question. Sure, it's nice idea, and it
'fits' (much like 'epicycles', ..but it says essentially that what is,

JP's progression from the rocky planets to the gas giants as

Good questions, but they highlight the point of connectedness from
past to present. In the extrusion of the mantle (lower mantle) and
growth at the ridges, the Earth is providing us with a GREAT BIG CLUE
that I don't think has even begun to be investigated yet. (If it had,
we wouldn't be talking about this.)

Not that simple. There was an initial ridge between India/Seychelles and
Madagascar that got extinct 60 My ago, because a new one developped
between India and Seychelles along the whole west coast of India.

Stuart, get focused please.
As the ridge is symetric, If you remove the isochrons in sequence you
can't put NW India below the current gulf of aden, because you meet the
old ethiopia-Madagascar basin there.
If you do put the whole India below Aden, then it means that you
virtually crossed the ridge and put India over the old basin which does
not make sense at all.

Nope. Upduction does not account for the major part of the surface
expansion. The major part of surface expansion results from spreading
ridges.

The ridge develops to the west and South of India, not NW India.

Scotese has no problem with nothing, as he does not care about problems

Answer that simple question.
Where is NW India relatively to Arabia when you close back the ridge

Just the geological maps. There's a bit of a kink displacement across
the Owen Fracture zone, but nothing that very much interrupts
continuity.

Comparing Figure 3a in Torsvik et. al. (2008) which is their
reconstruction
at 200mya, to Scotese's reconstruction at 195mya:
http://www.scotese.com/jurassic.htm

I don't see much if any difference between the relative positions of
Africa w.r.t India
in the two models, considering the difference in projections and
reference frames.

Why are you beating around the bush?

Isn't the real problem from the EE point of view, that EE doesn't
accept
subduction and therefore as a result India was always docked with
Asia?

Its not a strawman, silly goose. Its what Paleomag models show.

Its laughable that you think that satisfying EE is somehow a proper
test
of paleomagnetic results.

Not the following one, because nothing justifies that India should be

You really don't understand that theory...
There was a narrow basin between India and Asia, the so called tethys
sea. That basin got closed when new crust got emplaced forming tibet.

You're the goose. Suggesting that I said the ridge developped NW of

No evidence justifies that India was not still connected to Arabia,
when that ridge developped.

"The Tethys was primarily an epicontinental sea which in Palaeozoic time
transgressed on an undivided Indo-Tibetan platform. Within this sea an
axial oceanic trough separating India from Tibet came into being only in
the Mesozoic. This oceanic trough reached its maximum development only
in the Late Cretaceous. Consequently, the Indian Ocean did not open at
the expense of pre-existing wide Tethys. The geology of the Himalaya
fails to indicate a Tethys ocean of Palaeozoic - earliest Mesozoic age,
and in this respect supports the theory of Earth expansion"

Why do you make so stupid comments, despite you know certainly that the
remains of the oceanic crust corresponds to the ophiolitic suture?

Again, see Scotese's animation of the evolution of the Indian Ocean
over the past 90 million years.
Please show where in these reconstructions that evidence based on the
isochrons is ignored.

Thats not denial, but a statement of fact.

You've offered no testable hypothesis.

I've never seen anything that referred to the Tethys as "primarily
epicontinental". Your reference is perhaps well out of date.


So your reference is saying that India was separated from Asia by an
epicontinental sea.
It even says "undivided Indo-Tibetan platform". Doesn't that mean that
India was attached to
Asia in Paleozoic time?

This is a looney reference to begin with, but supports my statement
and not yours.

Epicontinental means on top of continent, hence India was
always connected to Asia in EE, just that the connection was covered
by an epicontinental
sea.


Within this sea an

What geological information is this based on? When somebody writes
"axial oceanic trough"
that means there was oceanic crust. If there was no oceanic crust, why
is the term "oceanic"
used?

This seems to say, that India was separated from Asia, by a failed
rift, that produced
no oceanic crust? Thats fine, but it makes no sense to call it
"oceanic".

I ask again, how wide did this separation get? 100km? 1000km?

Consequently, the Indian Ocean did not open at

Then why does Gansser refer to an oceanic axial trough? If there is no
oceanic crust,
why is it called "oceanic"?

What a pile of absolute gobbledygook.

I don't know of any reference (besides this one apparently) to the
Tethys as primarily an epicontentinental sea. Maybe I need to go back
a few decades. If India and Asia weren't ever separated by oceanic
crust, then exactly how were they separated? and by what? And how wide
was that separation. These are pretty simple questions.

You should be able to answer them.

Oh yes I did. One testable prediction (not hypothesis) is that all the
old cratons surrounding the Pacific must have been close to each other,
250 millions years ago and before. This is testable and tested.

<http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/full/321/5886/235>

Plate tectonics is not a theory capable of making such predicitions,
because it can't predict the motion of cratons over 100 millions years.
It need geological data and geochemistry to figure out where the cratons
were.

That's because plate tectonists systematically ignore the work made by
hundred of geologist before Plate tectonics emerged.

Dude, try to quote properly and reply after the whole quote. You missed
the "axial oceanic trough".
If you don't know what it means, then go have a look at the south china
sea.

Oh, jeezzz, you're soooo sloooowwwwww.....There *was* oceanic crust. But
belonging to a narrow ocean trough, much like the South China sea. There
never was a 5000 km long ocean.

Yeah, you guys can just deny the work made by geologists prior plate

Dude, that "oceanic axial trough" was made of "ocean crust", that's why
it is called "oceanic". That oceanic trough got crushed by
upduction/extrusion of new material coming from the mantle, hence the
ophiolites.

You seem so lost... Make a drawing or look at the south china sea if it
can help you.

Touche'.

Thats me tooism.

PT predicts the existence of Pangea.

What EE cannot explain are apparent polar wander paths older
than 250mya.

Umm no. We just incorporate all the work done since then.

Wait a minute and this is hilarious. Previously you chided me for
saying
there was oceanic crust..

I said

You replied:


"Why do you make so stupid comments, despite you know certainly that
the
remains of the oceanic crust corresponds to the ophiolitic suture? "
>

> [...]

So now you claim there was oceanic crust between India and Asia.

Lets deal with this first.

If there was Oceanic crust between India and Asia, and there was no
subduction, then
what was wrong with me asking..


"> So you are claiming that the Himalayas are underlain by oceanic
crust
> that was the floor of the Tethys?

Your previous claims suggested that upwelling "crust" over-rode the
lithosphere, like
when you claimed the Marianas slab was pushed down by upwelling
material, not because it
was subducting.

In that case the ocean floor is getting buried by upwelling material
and forced down;
in this case as you explain below the ocean floor is buckled by the
process.

This is not consistent.

Then you don't know what is a prediction, honey.

PT does not predict the existence of Pangea. PT gives an explanation for
the formation of Pangea. And that's all.

PG actually predicts that all craton were closer to each other going
back in time.

Not even true. PG is actually much better at explaining the polar path
which are actually also predicted. See Maxlow and Chudinov.

Underlaying the himalayas...

Dude, I hope you know that there exist the lesser, the higher, the
tethyan himalayas...? Do you understand that not all himayas are
underlain by oceanic crust?

For example:

It is not pushed down, it is buried.

It is not forced down. The absolute motions are always surfaceward.

It depends on the dynamic of the arc, and how it induces overthrusting
and buckling. For example, at the papuan ultrabasic foldbelt, the
oceanic lithosphere is sliced in overthrusting sheets.

Google "Wilson Cycle"

Pangea was not the only "Pangea"

Chudinov if I recall invokes TPW. WHich simply adds to the ad-hocery
of EE.

Dude.

I'm asking you to be precise. You seem unable to be. I have to get
basic information out of you step by step.

First India wasn't attached to Asia, then it was, then it wasn't, then
there
was an axial rift, then there wasn't.

Either way.

Then why is the slab bent down if the "absolute motions" are always
surfaceward? Shouldn't it be bent up?

How does it induce that?

So in an expanding Earth we have overthrusting oceanic lithosphere.

Interesting.

Or is it that its not really overthrusting?

Frankly, do you really think I would cite a reference about rodinia but
ignore the meanng of "Wilson cycle"? You should quit thinking that
people are all idiots like Ron.

Besides, "Wilson cycle" is not a prediction either, it is yet another
interpretation.

So you really don't know the distinction between a prediction and an
interpretation. No wonder that you don't understand why Plate tectonics
is wrong.

Give me a break.

Nope. *You* got confused. Read back the thread. I gave you as an
illustration the south china sea, example that you continue to ignore.

Not either way, silly goose! it is buried.

It looks like you believe that the upward movement is limited to the
arc-side?

More non sense from plate tectonics zealots.

Compression forces resulting from an extruding wedge.

So now, you even deny that this is what is observed in papua new
guinea... Jeez.

I think I gonna leave you in your hole.
