Your friends, the geologists, and every earthquake or volcanic disaster.
As I understand the situation Oz is moving NE and scraping along the Asian plate
Do you have a problem reading compass directions and maps, Roy? The Oz plate, moving NE (on its trek to the north of the Pacific Ocean), bumps into the SE Asian plate at an almost perpendicular angle.
And you conveniently ignore the Indian Ocean plate moving east...
just as California is doing
Since when is California moving North EAST?
which does not form a subduction zone or deep trenches.
I have news for you: in 1906 an earthquake destroyed San Francisco by creating lateral fissures
There is no deep trench where England has collided with Scotland
Correct: they have mountains, the highlands.
or where Africa has hit Europe
Correct: they have mountains, the Alps.
and none where India has hit Asia.
Correct: they have mountains, the Himalayas.
Mountains, yes, quakes, yes, volcanoes, yes, trenches, nil!
Except for the Wallace, Weber, Lydekker, Mariana and dozens and dozens of other trenches of course. Just because
you don't see them doesn't mean they ain't there...
No I am not a geo, therefore I listen to those who are and do not claim to be superior in knowledge to them.
Then you're a docile fundie. I'm not a priest, minister, or pope either, and I DO claim to be superior in knowledge to them.
floating, rafting etc is not walking
If a trek of 100,000 kilometers
walking involves 200 river/water/strait crossings, 99% of which are less than a couple hundred metres, then that is a
walking trip. Not a boating trip.
you can't keep on facing both ways nor ignoring the evidence nor the opinions of geologists.
If Galileo Galileï could then I can too.
as you can read here the sea floor north of Oz is rising, if you accept what geos state of course.
Yeah, exactly like Surtsey did. Local aberration.
