Plate Tectonics debunked

[User Name]

I can understand clocking the speed of surface movement, but how is it determined how fast the mantle beneath the plate is moving (re: Nazca plate)?

This is a good question and I'm not sure of the answer. Can anyone else help out here?

You could try reading the thread for a start.

Have you read it, Stripe?

How about you tell us about the hydroplates now? That's hilarious.

The Himalayas are held up how? By magic?

In this video, the horizontal motion of GPS station NAST, located in Kathmandu, Nepal is displayed for the 25 April 2015 Mw 7.8 Gorkha, Nepal earthquake. The inset is a youtube video from a stationary camera of the ground motion experienced by a crowd of people in an open square in Kathmandu, Nepal. The back and forth motion seen in the crowd and the GPS station shows the basin resonance:

Therefore, something. :idunno:

Good grief.

Therefore that the earthquake resulted in a permanent change of some metres in the location of Kathmandu relative to the rest of the planet surface, as is measurable by GPS.

But by all means post the data that shows a change in the radius of the earth during that earthquake, which would support your shrinking earth 'hypothesis'.
