Science is dominated by the so-called plate tectonics. It says that all continental plates move on the Earth’s liquid mantle. Continents diverge, the ocean floor increases along midoceanic faults (spreading zones), and in other parts the oceanic crust (as a thinner crust) subducts under the continental crust. It sinks under it and melts (subduction zones).
There are also zones where two continental platforms collide (the Himalaya zone) – this is a collision zone.
Indeed, the western coast of Africa follows the contour of the eastern coast of South America. But what happens is, for some reason, one continent arose on Earth, a continental platform, which has a much greater thickness and mass than sections of the ocean floor.
This will lead to an imbalance in the rotation of the Earth. Centrifugal forces simply will not allow Pangea to form; the masses on the Proto-Earth should have been distributed evenly. And here they also stand out in terms of composition (granites).
Oceanic crust cannot form separately (basalts), and continental crust cannot form separately (granites and sedimentary rocks). Something is wrong here.
The second fact is the young age of all oceanic crust on Earth.
Drilling data and analysis of the age of sedimentary rocks of the ocean floor show that the oldest sections of the ocean floor are 180 million years old. This is one day in the multi-billion-year age of the Earth according to geology.
Almost the entire ocean floor has been formed over the past 30 million years. The maximum is since the era of the death of dinosaurs 60 million years ago. These dates can be treated differently, but let’s leave everything as it is.
So the contradiction is that, on the one hand, we have Pangea with an ancient ocean floor, and on the other hand, data on the age of sedimentary rocks of the ocean floor, saying that there is no ancient bottom.
One can, of course, come up with an explanation that all the ancient sections of the bottom were melted long ago in subduction zones. But they should have been preserved in places where there are no subduction zones. This is the east coast of North America, northwest and northeast Africa. But even there, the age of the ocean floor is estimated at a modest 170-180 million years.
Over hundreds of millions of years of ocean existence, many kilometers of sediment should accumulate around Pangea. They should, but it turns out that they are not.
Another strange feature is the rate of spreading and subduction. If the size of the Earth is constant, then the recession of the continents (the area of formation of a new ocean floor) is equal to the rate of subsidence of the oceanic crust under the continental crust.
An amazing process precision but the exception here is the western coasts of both Americas. Mountains nevertheless formed there – the Andes and the Cordillera, like the crushing of a continental platform over an oceanic one. This does not happen in other spreading areas.
These contradictions are not explained in any way. Although, they clearly show that the Earth was previously a planet with a smaller diameter, where the entire surface consisted of continental plates connected together. As they expanded, they began to move away and continue to do so.
The hypothesis about the expansion of the Earth turns all science upside down. Everything will have to be reviewed. That is why no one will dare to seriously consider this concept in science.
