Hi Kamron — i usually don't jump into this kind of discussion and probably
shouldn't this time either, but here goes anyhow. It seems to me that you are
extrapolating from your observations of how things work here on the surface of
the planet. If you expect to convince folks that your ideas have merit, you
need to quantitate and model based on the physical properties of materials
and the environment below the crust. That is what the people who do plate
tectonic theory do. Until you make a better model than they have, you are
doing what many scientists call arm waving. Lots of luck. >—->howard
