Dr. Derrick Hasterok, Lecturer, Department of Earth Sciences, University of Adelaide.

In 100 years the heat from global warming will melt all the plates together and our world will become a huge lava ball again.
Okay, 150 years.

Looks like the Marianas Trench is all out there by itself between the Australian Plate and Pacific Plate. It doesn't have a home plate?
(I know, that is a softball question)

But it does not explain oceans so it does not work for me. I’ll stick with the old theory for now.

No Ural Mountains, Rocky nor Appalachian Mountains either. Rather weak on all of the features inside those plate boundaries on every plate.
