Plate Tectonics: Continental Drift and Mountain Building Wolfgang Frisch, Martin Meschede, Ronald C. Blakey

If continents are drifting, then plate tectonics is responsible. These cycles of continental drift have produced many episodes of mountain building. Why are there old and young mountains? Plate Tectonics: Continental Drift and Mountain Building (PDF) English | 2010-12-22 | ISBN: 3540765034 | 217 pages | PDF | 119.20 Mb. Scientists have successfully used it to explain many geological events, such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions as well as mountain building and the formation of the oceans and continents. Precisely used, the term continental drift is actually rooted in antiquated concepts Other scientists also attempted to explain orogeny (mountain building) as resulting from Wegener's continental drift. Metageologist says: 9 August, 2012 at 8:24 pm. This is in contradistinction to the idea that all the high mountains of the world were . Continental drift, in the context of the modern theory of plate tectonics, is explained by the movement of lithospheric plates over the asthenosphere (the molten, ductile, upper portion of the earth's mantle). How could such glaciation occur on a mountain that did not exist until after the Flood? Greenstone Xenoliths in Archean Gneiss, near Sand River, Ontario, by Ron 9 August, 2012 at 8:18 pm.

The Society's writers are not unaware of the facts that high mountains existed prior to the Flood, that plate tectonics explains their formation, and even that mountains have gone through many cycles of creation and destruction. I really love all your posts about continental and plate tectonics and the nature of the LAB and mountain building… this is easily the most interesting aspect of geology/geophysics to myself and i really enjoy your writing regarding these subjects.
