“Plate tectonics can’t explain many of the geologic features we see today without sudden and massive movement —which the accepted paradigm doesn’t allow.”
Along with celestial impacts, what about polar flips rippling the global surface?
Well, there's that too. But it wouldn't necessarily even need to be a flip. A polar shift would likely create all manner of havoc. Or even the magnetic pole(s) wandering around for a while which some theories suggest has happened. Gotta also wonder how long our magnetic "shields" can decline in intensity before something unusual happens. As an added bonus, it looks to me the sun has all but given up on a solar max for this cycle. Very little activity when it should be at or very near a peak. The next ice age cometh??? Me, I dunno...
