Hello,
I've just added a picture to try to explain what this old OU program was showing :-)
I’ve just watched a TV documentary attempting to explain
plate tectonics. Whilst this and many others show well the creation of the
plates at the Mid Atlantic Ridge, they do not explain why they are also sliding
left and right along fracture zones across the ridge.
I remember seeing a
long time ago, an old ‘OU’ black and white TV programme saying that these
fractures form concentric rings right around the earth sliding past one another.
Can anyone explain why this is the case and why also, these seemly
important movements are not considered in future predictions of how the plates
may well look in the distant future?
Thanks,
Daniel.
