  Earth Expansion
          (...Previously known as Plate Tectonics....)

(Lower image: continental assembly prior to Pangaean dispersal viewed from opposite sides of the Pacific; dilation is hinged in the Mediterranean region.  Earth is shown smaller than in the top image to conserve space.)
 

Purchasing the disc accesses the content below and contributes to support of the site. Thank you to ALL correspondents.

The lists below largely reflect the order of writing and prolific links between pages frequently repeat themes so that the main points are quickly apparent. The site does not include an exposition of Plate Tectonics, which is only mentioned insofar as refutation deems it necessary (the Wikipedia provides a reasonable account of the consensus view).

The geological construction is an original work exclusive to the site, so if referencing please credit accordingly.  Essential elements are:- 

  • A planetary oblateness in Mesozoic times somewhat greater than that of today,
  • Equatorial rupture coupled with massive mantle breakout focussed in the Indonesian - South China Sea region. 
  • Large-scale swivelling crustal accommodation to breakout followed by longitudinal dilation of the Atlantic, 
The importance of Earth rotation in steering adjustment to Pangaean dispersal follows directly from this construction.
