What is volcanism, then?

SpaceX

Blue Origin

Maby all evidence is fake

uh.....what? volcanoes and magma rushing to the surface??

what does that have to do with it?

Where does the magma come from?

listen

under the surface

Why does it rise?

pressure. like a coke

Where under the surface?

most of time when i come on here i seek a nice constructive discussion about the shape of the earth

however

What makes a volcano appear one place and not another?

i can only seem to get such a conversation on 24/7 mostly level

we don't know yet. when I was a geology major we learned about "Techtonic plate theory"....subduction zones etc..

but all theory

never observed

Well

and not mutually exclusive to flat surfaced earth model

here, on the other hand, is filled with people who like to insult attack people personally which is something i try not to do even when provoked

We know that some areas are increasing in distance from each other

And some are shrinking

Locally measured

so what?

even if you trust the data

So we know something is moving

so what?

I trust data I witnessed being collected

so what?

Sounds like plate techtonics

so what?

it's a theory

You said no observations

we have NEVER observed a plate moving under another plate!!!!!!!!

It explains just as much as your sheol model

exactly. it's a model

it doesn't necessarily describe

Models unify

but when the horizon is dead flat at 180,000 feet.....
