Summary of "claims" for each theory (in 3 stages, considering 5 different Earth features at each stage)
_Stage 1
F: (Formation) Origin & Dating of Earth & Solar System
C: Origin, Arrangement & Composition of Continental & Oceanic Crust
S: Origin & Dating of Sedimentary Rock Strata & Fossils
O: Cause of Orogenesis
GL: Cause of Glaciation
1. ET: Expansion Tectonics __ James Maxlow __ www.expansiontectonics.com
THEORY: Earth's radius has doubled in the past 200 million years.
_1-F: >Nebular Hypothesis?< After formation Earth (and other celestial bodies with magnetic fields) expanded significantly over millions of years.
_1-C: Earth oceans are where most expansion has occurred at Earth's surface. Earth's mass increase comes from the solar wind, which causes expansion at the core-mantle boundary inside the Earth.
_1-S: >See JM answers<
_1-O: Mountain ranges occur near continental edges due to reduction in the Earth's radius of curvature that occurs with expansion at the surface.
_1-GL: >See JM Manu. or ask<
_2. PT: Plate Tectonics John Weirich __ Wikipedia __ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plate_tectonics
THEORY: Mantle convection forms plate extensions at ocean ridges and subducts them at subduction zones.
_2-F: Stars & planets form by gravitational accretion of cosmic dust as per the Nebular Hypothesis & Big Bang. Plate tectonics is only one part of tectonics.
_2-C: Islands formed and mantle convection caused them to slowly form a supercontinent. Mantle convection caused the supercontinent to slowly split apart into continents. A basaltic oceanic crust and a granitic continental crust are one of the main features of plate tectonics. Basalt oceanic crust forms at spreading centers, and granitic continental crust forms at subduction zones. www.sanandreasfault.org/Tectonics.html en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partial_melting
_2-S: Sedimentary rock strata were deposited in shallow seas on the continents over millions of years. To see why the oceanic crust is thinner, you can read about isostasy here en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isostasy . The type of isostasy relevant to crustal thickness is Pratt isostasy.
_2-O: Mountain ranges formed slowly from continental collisions and magma plumes etc. All continental crust was ultimately formed this way. Most of the continent that is not part of a mountain range contains material that was eroded from mountains.
_2-GL: Glaciation was caused by cooling. Or glaciation is more about weather patterns. See Snowball Earth and/or Milankovitch cycles: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snowball_Earth __ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milankovitch_cycles
3. ST: Surge Tectonics __ Dong Choi __ ncgt.org __ forums.naturalphilosophy.org/showthread.php?tid=113
THEORY: Earth has shrunk greatly and densification has caused continental lands to sink and surge channels have caused orogenesis etc.
_3-F: PT Nebular Hypothesis.
_3-C: Earth shrank significantly over millions of years, due to cooling.
_The lithosphere contains a worldwide network of deformable magma surge channels in which partial magma melt is in motion, due to Earth contraction and rotation.
_The Earth contains several concentric shells, which are explicable only if the Earth differentiated efficiently and at a much higher temperature than today.
_The antipodal positions of the continents and ocean basins (unlikely a matter of chance) mean that Earth passed through a molten phase. Heated spheres cool by rupture along great circles and remnants of two such great circles are active today: the Circum-Pacific and Tethys-Mediterranean fold systems.
_Flood basalt covering most of the seafloor and parts of continents originated from surge channel ruptures.
_Oceanization is the tendency of continental land to sink and become seafloor.
_Earth and planetary (particularly solar) interaction affects global tectonics
_3-S: >Ask Choi<
_3-O: Mountain ranges are formed by vertical uplift from below.
_There is Earth's core, mantle and crust interaction, in which thermal energy from the core is the fundamental energy source of global tectonic activities including earthquakes, volcanoes, rise and sink of the Earth surface, and global climate as well
_3-GL: >Ask Choi<
4. EU: Electric Universe __ (Ralph Juergens, deceased), Wal Thornhill, Don Scott __ holoscience.com __ thunderbolts.info
THEORY: Electrical forces formed the Earth and its features.
_4-a. (Main:) Earth works as a ring to ring multiple phase energy step down solar transformer
[Stars and planets form from galactic electric currents, which continue to power stars after formation.]
_4-(F:) Condensed plasma, could have been created and destroyed many times
[Stars and planets form from galactic electric currents, which continue to power stars after formation.]
_4-(C:) Electrical circuits heat and cool (expand and contract), Surge Theory with an electrical reinterpretation makes the most sense for our model.
_4-(S:) Sedimentation occurs constantly, can be chemical precipitates, weathered rock, turbidites etc. -- This has been covered well in many text books
_4-(O:) Arc Blast or Static discharge between planets and the sun seem to be primary factors -- Recent field work, can be shared. [Mountain ranges were formed from electric discharges from the Sun or a large planet that heated a large discharge channel, which expanded, uplifting mountains.]
_4-(GL:) Cosmic Ray density with particle cascades creating storms, volcanic eruptions and global envelope of cloud cover leading to ice ages. Glaciation is a small subset of the ice ages and increases every winter more snow accumulates than melts. -- I can bring some references on cosmic rays
_4-(Critique:) 2. Slow Continental Drift, 5. Gradualism / Uniformitarianism, 8. Mountain Uplift by Plate Collisions, + Plate Theory
_4-(DomForce:) Electro-magnetic fields and waves, i.e. photons, aether are part of this. Evidence suggest gravity may be a dipole attraction atom to atom, thus gravity may be explained electro-magnetically. -- Bill Lucas has the Math.
5. ESU: Electrostatic Universe __ Charles Chandler __ qdl.scs-inc.us/?top=6031
THEORY: The electrostatic force is the fundamental force in the macrocosm; vast implosions form stars & planets with CFDLs, current-free electric double-layers.
_5-a:
_5-F: Stars and planets form by implosions of galactic electrostatic filaments, which produce current-free electric double layers within the bodies, which produce radiation, earthquakes, volcanism etc.
_5-C: Stars decay, eventually becoming gas giant planets, which lose atmosphere and become rocky planets.
_5-S: Not yet considered...
_5-O: Mountain ranges were formed by rapid continental drift due to a large asteroid impact.
_5-GL: Not yet considered...
6. SD: Shock Dynamics __ Mike Fischer __ NewGeology.us , (LK1-4) funday.createaforum.com/index.php
_6-a: A large asteroid impact broke up the supercontinent, causing rapid continental drift, orogenesis, volcanism, glaciation, etc.
_6-F: >Ask MF<
_6-C: A giant meteorite impact north of what is now Madagascar divided the protocontinent into the continents and islands via Shock Dynamics.
_6-S: Some centuries before the major impact an orbiting asteroid caused tsunamis, producing a Great Flood for some months or years, which deposited sediment from the continental shelf onto the supercontinent.
- Smaller asteroids also fell to Earth and removed much atmosphere; as atmospheric pressure fell, much calcium carbonate precipitated from the sea water, forming thick limestone strata.
_6-O: The movement of tectonic plates raised nearly all of the mountain chains via horizontal compression, and initiated global volcanism.
_6-GL: Movement of continents toward the poles along with atmospheric moisture and volcanic and impact dust led to glaciation.
7. EMH: Earth's Metamorphosis Hypothesis __ Doug Ettinger __ EttingerJournals.com "Earth's Metamorphosis (EM) Hypothesis" and "The Great Deluge: Fact or Fiction" (Ref: 'The Electric Universe'; D.S Allan & J.B. Delair of 'Cataclysm'; Walt Brown of 'In the Beginning'; and Zecharia Sitchin of 'The Twelfth Planet')
_7a: The Earth and Moon were brought together about 3.9 billion years ago during the LHB (Late Heavy Bombardment). The Earth was hit and gorged by an icy impactor that tilted the spin axis and displaced its orbit toward the already existing Moon's orbit at one AU from the Sun. The impact at about 2.7 AU - created debris for the Main Belt of asteroids; and caused the only solar system body to have large, raised, distinct, granitic continents surrounded by an already differentiated, heavier, basaltic oceanic crust.
_7-F: During the LHB (Late Heavy Bombardment) the young, soft, molten Earth was struck by a hard icy rogue body, which moved its orbit from the asteroid belt to the Moon's orbit. The Moon was repeatedly struck by impactors that Earth brought. The Moon's mares and mascons are evidence that it swept the remaining debris brought from Earth for the next 900 to 800 million years. When the impactors slowed or ceased, more advanced life began on Earth about 3.0 billion years ago. The oldest rocks or continental cratons on Earth are dated at about 3.9 billion years ago.
_7-C: Earth sustained a major impact that penetrated and expanded the Earth's mantle diameter thereby cracking the existing oceanic basaltic crust. The impactor, probably the size of Ganymede, brought such volatiles as water, NH3, CH4, and CO2 that mixed with the Earth's already differentiated mantle. The major result was the lighter, granitic mega-continent that broke up and drifted on top of the molten mantle. A slippery interface or Moho between the crust and mantle was enhanced by volatiles. The rising volatiles continuing even today increased water volume and added N2, O2 and CO2 to the atmosphere.
_7-S: Sedimentary rock strata and the fossils found in these strata are chiefly caused by repeated catastrophism that have spans of gradual change giving time for animals to develop and adapt. The fossils are created by the cataclysmic fall of dust created by mega-volcanoes and asteroid strikes or by the burial from tsunamis and huge mud slides. The plastic folding of these layers is caused by lateral thrusts caused by either plate tectonics or sudden geoid changes of the Earth's shape.
_7-O: The original orogenesis on Earth was caused by the Early Great Impact, which created the rise of mega-continents above the original oceanic crust. The complete absorption of the impactor bloated the Earth's mantle and caused huge cracks in the existing oceanic crust that initiated plate tectonics. Due to the dynamics of the spinning Earth, the mega-continents began to move apart. Generally, the heavier oceanic plates were shoved under the lighter continental plates creating mountain ridges and explosive volcanoes. Geological "hot spots" created chains of islands in the oceans and also in the center of continental plates.
_7-GL: Glaciation is similar to the melting and freezing cycles of CO2 on the Martian Ice Caps. The ice sheets melt thereby increasing ocean surface and condensation and cloud cover. These factors lead to increased cloud cover, more reflection of the Sun's energy, and eventually more cooling and freezing. When the cloud cover disappears and dryness returns, heating and melting return to complete one of the numerous continuing cycles. However, glaciation is complicated by Milankovitch cycles, continental drift, geoid changes, and random volcanism.
_8. GM: Growing Matter __ Eugene Ellis __ ionic-expanding-earth.Weebly.com
_8-a: No Big Bang. 98.8% of Earth’s matter consists of 8 elements that started the planet, heated the planet, and has doubled the planet’s radius twice in less than a billion years.
_8-F: The initial elements began as dark matter until they ionized and acquired electrons to become spectra-visible. Calcium was first to ionize ~8800 MYA.
_8-S: Water formed ~1400 MYA to cool a molten crust. Archaic sedimentary rocks (older than 1400 MY) did not exist. Water’s arrival limits radiometric dating of “ancient rock” to the time of solidification.
