• What pushes continents in all directions around Pangea?

    From mitchrae3323@gmail.com@21:1/5 to All on Tue Aug 29 14:08:31 2023
    The continents around Africa have to get
    pushed in many directions and opposite directions.
    If there is one source why is there different
    directions?

    IF they get pushed back and forth they would
    tend to not travel by cancel.

    If drift is happening now and that will
    cause the continents to come together
    on the other side of the Earth how can they get
    pushed opposite in drift and start over...

    Asked many and answered many times but you are too stupid to
    understand the answer.

    Different convection currents, Roy Masters Jr.

    What does that gibberish mean?

    If drift is happening now and that will

    New Pangaea or NewPangaea or something.

    how can they get
    pushed opposite in drift and start over...

    Once a convection current starts underneath it and starts splitting it
    up. Just like all the times before that.

    What can make the same current different
    for different push directions?

    If you say that get pushed back and forth
    they don't go anywhere.

    How does the current start over in an opposite direction?

    No. That has never happened. The continents have
    always been where they are.

    Green Moon Two:
    I do think it is possible that Pangaea was a second moon, say M2.
    As a moon comes dragged into its planet its elliptical trajectory will be dragged into a circular path. This effect would be small, and the process would be quite a long time coming. The idea of a gentle touchdown of two spheres is quite extraordinary.
    But if the continental tectonics are the result of such a landing then are we simply witnessing the settling out of this profound accretion event? Could fossil fuel deposits in extraordinary locations mean anything extra? When would it have happened? If
    it's all going to erode into the ocean then we'll wish we were fish again.

    Well, suppose a satellite were in an elliptical orbit initially, and that it is already experiencing atmospheric drag during part of its orbit. The action of the drag would bring it into a more circular orbit wouldn't it? At any rate, the descent, given
    that it is already in orbit, would be gradual, and especially for a satellite of considerable momentum, then the drag effect will be more slight and so this gradualistic argument could hold up. At first touch of M2 to Earth won't the interface be liquid
    water? Perhaps a grind of a sort must bring things into tidal lock if this process were to work out, so I'll concede that 'gentle' is going too far. Still, we know that there are geostationary orbits, and the planar nature of the solar system is nicely
    understood to be compatible with that:

    "A geostationary orbit, also referred to as a geosynchronous equatorial orbit[a] (GEO), is a circular geosynchronous orbit 35,786 km (22,236 mi) in altitude above Earth's equator, 42,164 km (26,199 mi) in radius from Earth's center, and following the
    direction of Earth's rotation.
    An object in such an orbit has an orbital period equal to Earth's rotational period, one sidereal day, and so to ground observers it appears motionless, in a fixed position in the sky. The concept of a geostationary orbit was popularised by the science
    fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke in the 1940s as a way to revolutionise telecommunications, and the first satellite to be placed in this kind of orbit was launched in 1963." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geostationary_orbit

    It looks as though we'd be quibbling over four thousand miles of retro action, possibly with an answer in the eccentricity problem
    As well, in the case of a large enough M2, the treatment of the Earth as a static may be invalid; meaning that the center of mass of the system is a function of both M2 and Earth, if M2 was large enough. Enough heat to melt a snowball Earth even, eh? But
    whether it could be done gently: I think there would or could be a recurring event of accretion, leading to an M3 as well. As the solar system settles, larger and larger accretion events take place, generally speaking, simply because initially the
    accretion events were of smaller smithereenes of a prior star gone supernova, supposedly.

    Here is some support on the eccentricity argument: "Aerodynamic forces (drag atmospheric friction, opposite to the velocity vector, and lift, perpendicular to the velocity vector). They are proportional to the density, and therefore more relevant in low
    Earth Orbits, at the perigee, as density decreases exponentially with altitude. This effect (mainly drag) reduces the energy of the orbit and therefore produces the reduction of the apogee height, reducing the eccentricity (orbital decay). "
    - https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/engineering/atmospheric-drag

    I suppose a last resort for support of such a thing would be to pry upon the three body problem and whether M1 could play a part too.

    What about Africa? Is the center of Pangea drifting?
    and in what direction jim?
    No. None of the continents are drifting.
    They are where they formed.
    How could Africa be an exception jim?

    Hmmm.... maybe you are right. That 4000 mile figure must have been off. None the less, As a violent process the supposed M2 would proceed in its circular trajectory; dragging itself down as it whips up more and more drag. Is that enough to reduce the
    oxides? I was really hoping for big long necked dinosaurs that were in a low gravity environment on a jungle M2 subplanet somehow being shuttled to Earth. Instead this is turning into a sort of mash that would leave no record. Thanks Jim for you thought
    and feedback. This is the best falsification that I've seen yet. Pretty simple so I should have been onto it myself.

    Now I see that the Earth is travelling at 67000mph around the sun. Is there no way to get a natural gentle landing? It sure would confuse the geological record, wouldn't it? You'd have the accretion of a moon essentially sandwiched on top of the
    accretions of the Earth; you'd have some dense stuff there as well that arguably should have settled to the core long ago. You'd have long term settling; actual kinetic energy; something that would cause a lot of plate tectonics.

    Some geologists will talk to you about Kelvin's model.

    It calculated how long it would take for the Earth's
    interior to cool down.

    Basically, it used in its calculations the insulation
    and lack of heat conductance of rock. The outer layers
    insulated the inner layers of the Earth from heat transfer.

    The ultimate result of the calculations was that it would
    take tens of millions of years for the interior of the
    Earth to cool down so that the outer layers might have
    more similar heat to the inner layers.

    They would also say that his calculations in the 1800s
    were not wrong.

    So why is the interior of the Earth or other planets
    in or solar system still hot?

    They would answer - added to this insulation effect, is
    an input of heat in the interior from nuclear processes.
    It could be slow fission in the heavy elements in the
    Earth's core, or other nuclear processes that do not
    involve fission in other layers as well. Those processes
    do not have to be rapid - the insulation effect of rock
    in the Earth keeps that heat inside the Earth and it
    comes outward through volcanism relatively slowly.

    In theory some convection moving heated rock could also
    drive plate tectonics.

    Nonetheless, geologists would not be familiar with
    specific computer models of this - and so they would
    be very hesitant to support any specific computer model.

    Thus they would tend to say 'we don't know'.

    I am thinking that at some point in the later 20th
    century despite some statements about 'theory versus
    fact', that the Vatican has come out with a statement
    giving the idea that Galileo's interpretations of his
    observations might have had some credibility.

    Nonetheless, is it possible that several hundred years
    in the future, geologists will still say 'we don't know'
    on the issue of the theoretical motive factors involved
    with plate tectonics? Who knows.

    Then there is the word 'continent'.

    Most geologists will say that there were other 'islands'
    besides the land mass of Pangaea when it might have existed.

    Is a 'continent' anything with a surface area equal or
    greater than that of current Australia?

    I am thinking that Greenland might be one island less than
    a third of the land area of Australia, or maybe it is a
    chain of islands connected to ice. Then again is New Guinea
    part of Australia?

    Many geologists claim that there might have been something
    called 'Cimmeria' during the existence of Pangaea. Was it
    a chain of islands like Indonesia now, or were they all
    connected together at some points in time with a land mass
    similar to Australia? Who knows.

    Then again, if neither North America, South America,
    Antarctica, nor Australia are continents, then does
    'Pangaea' still exist with a name something like
    'Afro-Eurasia'?

    Something like an early Pacific Ocean may have once
    had three plates moving away from each other. A lot
    of two of them have gone under North and South America,
    but bits of them still exist, and they are still moving
    away from the Galapagos Islands. This is some times
    called the 'Islands of Turtles'. So maybe it is turtles
    all the way down, or at least to the side somewhere.

    This supposedly might have been a long time ago. A lot
    further back in time in theory than I can directly
    remember.
