Study from this week:

In this dialogue forum, please address current understanding of plate tectonics. Choose one of these various perspectives to discuss:

1) standard mainstream thinking — moving plates, with subduction zones and hot spots;

2) alternative (upstart) views by mainstream geologists — “elevator tectonics,” and “surge tectonics”;

3) young-Earth views of timing and effects — fast (so-called “catastrophic”) plate tectonics with rapid horizontal motion and (vertical) sinking of plates;

4) views in which plate tectonics ushers in a “new age.”
