The Society's writers are not unaware of the facts that high mountains existed prior to the Flood, that plate tectonics explains their formation, and even that mountains have gone through many cycles of creation and destruction. When two continental crustal plates collide, the compressional deformation usually crumples the rock in the collision zone to produce a mountain range. The continental plate forms high mountains, the Andes in South America. Blakey English | 2010-12-22 | ISBN: 3540765034 | 217 pages | PDF | 119 mb. Plate tectonic theory grew from Wegener's continental drift hypothesis and is the unifying theory underlying modern geology and geophysics. Divergent or spreading boundaries, and transform boundaries. What caused such a dramatic about-face? The lateral movement of the Plate tectonic theory arose out of the hypothesis of continental drift proposed by Alfred Wegener in 1912 and expanded in his 1915 book The Origin of Continents and Oceans. Blakey, "Plate Tectonics: Continental Drift and Mountain Building" Sp--er | 2010 | ISBN: 3540765034 | 180 pages | PDF | 116 MB How are mou. This is in contradistinction to the idea that all the high mountains of the world were . These cycles of continental drift have produced many episodes of mountain building. For example, the Indian-Australian Plate has collided with the Eurasian Plate to form the Himalayas. The arguments concerning the obvious tectonic shortening corresponding to the formation of mountain ranges, without that there is discontinuity between the buildings. Today that persuasion has been reversed—plate tectonics, incorporating continental drift, is the ruling perspective. Earthquakes, volcanic activity, mountain-building, and oceanic trench formation occur along plate boundaries. Frisch, Martin Meschede, and Ronald C. Plate tectonics resumes continental drift , as it was designed by Alfred Wegener (1912) and as it was abandoned for nearly fifty years under the blows of momentary geophysical arguments, despite the favor she continued enjoy in some Arguments tectonics.

How could such glaciation occur on a mountain that did not exist until after the Flood?
