tectonics it tells you basically that..the current position of the continents are due to a mechanixm called plate techtonics….wherein the current plates are moving..you can recall various terms like subduction..astenosphere..and thelike..s i would like to use histroy in he discussion of this topic.. there was this certain scientist alftred wegener who wondered why the sides or border lines of a certain continent match that of the other continents..he wondered could there be atime that these continents were linked? And so..that was his theory ..and it was called Continental Drift Theroy.. a theory won’t be atheory unless..it is proven by crtain evidences..among his eveidewneces are ... Read Full Story

WE ARE ABLSOLUTELY OPPOSED TO CONTINENTAL DRIFT AND PLATE TECTONICS!

As they say in the radio ads for drag racing, "SUNDAY! SUNDAY! SUNDAY!" Folks, the gates may open a noon, and there may be "55 funny cars," but we'd only consider going for the 50 cent beers and the wet t-shirt contest. It's not that we don't like fast cars, but we like loose women better! Life is full of choices and we've made ours. Speaking of choices, yesterday was Saturday, and the day before was Friday (funny how that works, huh?), so we had some choices to make. The obvious one was to just roll out of the sofa-sleeper, get dressed and head ... Read Full Story

Harvard-Smithsonian Scientists Zero In On Key Sign of Habitable Worlds

"It would be hard to believe that the continuous movement of tectonic plates has no effect on the development of life on Earth." James Trefil, physicist and author of Other Worlds: The Solar System and Beyond? According to Harvard scientists, habitable worlds are most likely found on large, rocky planets that are up to ten times the size of Earth and contain plate tectonics. Plate tectonics play a critical role in determining the rate of cooling of a potentially habitable planet by creating the optimum temperature ranges for the development of intelligent animal life -as continents grow, planets cool. The researchers found that super-Earths, ... Read Full Story

From: lecturesofcharity.wordpress.com

I went out at late late night, intending to charge my phone at MiniStop’s I-Charj. I ran towards theplace. I waited ten minutes. During all thosetime, the FHM & Maxim Magazine to my left at a certain portion of the store attracts and tempts my eyes. Oh, human weakness, why can’t you understand that I devote my life to charity. I intend never to marry. Yet, maybe, that’s the reason… we get more & more attracted to women – if we are more away from them. It must be God’s call for men & women to unite. The ten minutes ended, I look at ... Read Full Story

The blacks had a tremendous uphill battle in the United States of America. It all started in 1619 when a few African Slaves were delivered to Jamestown ,Virginia.(X) Then came the issuing ofthe EmancipationProclamtion by President Abraham Lincoln (Y) "In 1955, Rosa Parks refuses to give up her seat in a segregated bus in Montgomery, Alabama. her arrest sparks a successful yearlong boycott lead by Martin Luther King to desegregate the City buses. A few years later, Martin Luther King delivered the "I Have A Dream" speech speaking of a future of equality. Then came the ultimate victory for the black thou the election ... Read Full Story

Earthquakes within plates: we don't know when, and we may not know where...

Ed has already given the lowdown on a new study in Nature which might lead to a rethink on earthquake hazards in the continental interior. Plate tectonics treats plates as entirely rigid entities, but continental crust is too weak, and too riddled with faults left over from when it was close to a plate boundary, for it to entirely hold up when subjected to the stresses of plate motion. So although a very large proportion of the Earth's...
