Pangea is taking the continental plates and then flowing them back
together artificially. What about the plates under the ocean?

The whole earth is covered in plates. So how can they move when there
is no where to go?

Plate techtonics as it stands is wrong science. The plates under the
oceans don't go away.

Under each other. Over each other. Slide by each other.

Any other stupid questions?

Here is a better theory...from the mouth of a geologist.

What is interesting to physicists is that the long necked dinos could not
live in todays gravity because their hearts were too small for their
body.

The cover the whole Earth with ahrdly any seperation inbetween. So all
those movements are vastly small. They just about cover the whole
Earth under the ocean and for land obviously.

Maybe people sightsee these small gaps. I don't know.

my favorite practical test for 'plate tectonics' goes like this:
Take a large pumpkin and paint pangea somewhere. Than take some tools,
say a knife, and move pangea apart.

A few restrictions, though, had to be followed. First problem to solve
is, that horizontals must stay horizontal - not perfectly, but quite-
because we find large horizontal structures on this planet.

Than we have of course a 'continuity condition', meaning we had to cover
the entire pumpkin (planet) at every moment.

Some other experience tells us, that rocks are heavy. So we couldn't
lift a piece of shell and hover it to some other location.

The crust is also quite stiff, because it is not only thick and hard,
but is also spherical shaped. We know from experience, that such shells
could withstand enormous forces, compared to the same materials in flat
configuration.

Than we find, that the interior of the Earth is hot and kind of pushing
from underneath. So the surface is actually a crust on top of something
very dense, hot and under high pressure. So it would be hard in any
case, to get something inside, while we experience the opposite
(something coming out) regularly.


We could try to push some surface inside, but sweeping a continent
'under the rug' would not be without consequences for that rug. That
means, the 'subduction' would be accompanied by an uplift of the
surface, the continent is pushed underneath.

To melt this piece away we would need high temperatures. But these
'subduction zones' are mainly under the oceans, where the water would
efficiently cool it or that water had to boil away first (what we don't
find).

So in total, 'plate tectonics' is bad science at best.
