Is there a viable alternative to tectonics? Yes!

I.) INTRODUCTION

Three themes of discussion run jointly through this article: a.) The fallacy of the tenets of the current earth sciences (i.e., plate tectonics); b.) Nature’s laws (physics) as the basis of all science; and c.) The RB-Effect© as the primary force system (the dynamics) that drives earth’s processes.

Physics is the study of the natural laws that discovery has shown to apply to the workings of everything we know to exist: from earth processes to the everyday machine and the utility of the laws of optics, electromagnetics, heat transfer, etc. But students may recall the tests and problems at the end of the chapter that were steeped in math and abstract concepts that were impossible to avoid because of the instructions and the wording at the top of the page .. "Show all your work!"

But not all disciplines recognize the obligation to be forthright and "show their work," as it’s conspicuously lacking in the studies of the "physics of the earth" (i.e., plate tectonics)! So it is that when verification of tectonic processes is sought, the failure to verify their work shows through as fallacious science and mis-interpretations!

II.) EXAMPLES

a.) Conveyor belts of molten magma (according to tectonic theory) are said to drive the movement of continental and oceanic plates. But when we turn to physics books for the missing verification - we find that the processes as stated are impossible. It is instead, that materials (magmas by example) can do work (i.e., cause movement) only as they expand and subsequently turn molten as they are heated. Once formed, no amount of additional heat will cause further expansion. Hence, on reaching the molten state, magma can no longer engage in producing motion. It follows, thereon, that the statements made of this conveyor process by tectonics are false.

b.) Non-volcanic mountains (according to tectonic theory) are said to be formed by the collision of tectonic plates. Yet we find mountains in the interior of every continent on earth where no evidence of collision can be found. When we turn to physics books for scientific verification of the process - we find instead that mountain building by colliding masses is impossible. The physical principles that can be advanced in proof are well known and everywhere utilized in the proper design of vehicles, roads, and foundations the world over.

These principles that challenge collision tectonics relate
