Geologists have it all wrong. Sixty-plus years of the continental drift myth....

Thanks! Interesting and a keeper doc. I totally agree with meteor strikes contributing to much more earth change than has been given credit. One look at the moon should convince anyone of that. I don't agree with the trough theory from oblique strikes, they seem to be quite rare on other bodies.

IMO, it's more likely the result of rapid plate drift and fracture due to the massive pressure waves generated. :)
