Neal Adams says planets expand...
...continental drift not due to plate tectonics.
Odd theory. But the more you look at it the more you want to believe... http://www.nealadams.com/nmu.html |

Here is the issue, without looking at all of his data. As a planet cools, it will expand, I think that is basically common sense. Mars is a dead planet and cooled relatively quickly, never even had a strong enough magnetic pole to hold onto its atmosphere, much less hold in its own heat.
It would make sense that the Earth has cooled over a few billion years, if not we would still be a molton planet. Especially if you believe that a mars sized object once hit Earth to create the moon. But while it is possible that no subduction on a relatively quick cooling Mars, does not mean that it didn't happen on Earth. Just because subversion is happening doesn't mean the Earth is not cooling and expanding. morphius will read this guys theory in a bit Last edited by morphius; 08-13-2006 at 09:46 AM.. |

Very cool theory. I have to admit that the idea of floating land masses slipping all over the place crashing into one another sounded stupid. This theory makes quite a bit more sence.
