The paleomagnetic record from the Amadeus Basin in Australia (marked by the star) indicate a large shift in some parts of the Gondwana supercontinent relative to the South Pole. (Illustration: Ross Mitchell/Yale University)

Much warmer core and thinner crust maybe?

>with some regions attaining a speed of at least 16 (+12/-8) cm/year,
OMG, that is 6.3 inches per year! Ah! Clearly GW.

If the shift was due to plate tectonics, wed have to come up with some pretty novel explanations. New discoveries are always challenging accepted science. It's the scientists who cling to past and present theories in the face of emerging skepticism who fail the test of true science.

Do people actually get paid to dream up this crap? Show me where to join...I have a few ideas I’d like to get paid for. (snicker)

Huh, and I thought the Cambrian Explosion took place in Chicago in 1893.

I watched a documentary on earthquakes last night (one I hadn’t seen before).
One guy had the opinion that if we didn’t have earth quake the earth would not be habitable.
IOW quakes are a good thing for nature to keep re-establishing.
They did allot of interviews and should tours of the homes that were destroyed in the 89 N. Cali quake (where I was in the process of leaving for a more rural life in the PNW)

If it weren’t for the molten core keeping the plate techtonics going and causing earthqukes, the land would erode away to settle on the floor of the oceans.
That molten core also gives us our magnetic field which protects us and prevents the solar wind from slowly stripping our atmosphere away.
