There’s an immense amount about plate tectonics that’s still a mystery. It’s a very young science and it doesn’t explain many observed geological features/phenomena. While it has revolutionized geology it’s still in its infancy as a field of study.
Not being Canadian, I have no idea.
Good one!
He needs to call a World Conference and pass a law limiting only 1/2 of India be permitted to sink into the mantle!
Somehow we must be the cause of Global Colliding. Stop technology now!! We are causing this Continent Change!!
Al Gore, FLY to the Himalayas to save the cashmere goats!!!! It’s all OUR “fault!” Hurry! Get your cameras and go!!
The extra heat is causing more rocks to melt, softening the larger Eurasian plate into a puddle, allowing the dagger-shaped Indo-Australian plate to cut through it like a hot knife into butter.
There’s more curry in Britain, than in all of India.
Here I thought the science was settled, the debate was over, nothing more to see, all that is knowable is now known about plate tectonics.
The fact is, we really don’t know jack about anything, and are only scratching the surface and that is how it will always be. The arrogance of so many scientists is mind boggling, with Richard Dawkins being the poster boy for that arrogance. I would include al gore too but he is no scientist, never has been, and never will be.
Hmmm. India sinking into the earth’s core while the rest of the planet is still floating. Didn’t we hear speculation last year about the big atom smasher in Europe leading to a small black hole deep in the earth?
Maybe there really is a Black Hole of Calcutta.
Re-unite Gondwanaland!!!
I think you could extend that comment to most of our species. We live on the wrinkled and dynamic surface of a piece of water and rock that's hurtling through an unknown void at unimaginable speed. At any moment the ground we walk and build on can burp molten rock or shimmy with Richter force, destroying us and all our creations. We don't even know where we are yet we endlessly propose universal "solutions" for all things.
The Greeks called it hubris.
