I am confused at what you are saying. Are you saying plate tectonics is nonsense or are you mocking those that do?
Plate tectonic theory was taught in my 1964 high school science and ‘64 college physical geograpy class.
Yesterday a news release said parts of the African continent were found under Eastern US.
I was being facious about not having to prep for the Cascadia event.
I was in first grade in 1955. Looking at a map I saw what anyone sees; eastern Brazil fits nicely into west Africa. I commented on this and my first grade teacher told me that such an idea was nonsense; the continents didn’t move. The discovery ofthe mid-ocean ridge at about that time proved that Alfred Wegener had been right all along.
