Formation and drift of continents
« on: 10/05/2025 21:13:24 »
Formation and drift of continents.
Nanotechnology Society of Russia. https://rusnor.org/pubs/articles/28319.htm

The Earth's crust, in the early stages of its evolution, was boiling magma, the poles of which, after a decrease in axial velocity and as a consequence of the Earth's geological activity, began to cool.
Then, the cooled magma in the form of continents, under the action of centrifugal forces, began to drift from the poles to the equator.
Then the continents, under the influence of the western transfer of the atmosphere along the hot magma, floated from west to east - like an iceberg in the ocean. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iceberg
As soon as the crust formed at the poles of the Earth, magmatic gases began to accumulate under the crust, due to which geological activity of the continents began and the buoyancy of the continents increased.
The height of the continents above the magma level increased due to faults and microcracks that arose during the period of frequent explosions of magmatic gases and strong earthquakes.
At the beginning of mountain building, seismic waves turned rocks into rubble and pebbles, and boulders rolled down onto the plain.
Constant vibration, as well as rain and wind, also contributed.
Magmatic gases, collecting between the earth's crust and magma, form a gas layer (foam), due to which the earth's crust does not overheat and the magma does not cool.
The geological activity of planets depends on their axial and orbital speeds, as well as their diameter and distance from the Sun. The speed of magma circulation also contributes.
It is possible that basalt columns and mesas in vertical faults and volcanic vents were formed under the influence of seismic waves during the cooling of magma.
Ice Waves: https://youtube.com/shorts/XxTQXZK-6qU?si=8NsoKWrKK_BgFvY0
The main reason for continental drift is the polar winds, which constantly move towards the equator, and today the polar winds, with an average annual speed of 20 m/s, and in gusts of more than 100 m/s, move huge icebergs towards the equator.
On Neptune, the wind speed reaches 600 m/s.
The continents drift also due to the imbalance between centrifugal and gravitational forces, and the greater the axial velocity of the Earth, the greater the imbalance of centrifugal and gravitational forces.
The polar compression of the Earth also contributes.
If the water in which an iceberg is drifting at a speed of 15 cm/year freezes, by how much will the speed of the iceberg decrease? 
https://simple.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oblate_spheroid
The area of ​​the continents of the Southern Hemisphere is much smaller than that of the Northern Hemisphere.
It is possible that Antarctica, due to early and high geological activity, did not completely leave the pole.
There is a high probability that Australia, drifting from west to east, also "rotated" around its axis.
https://images.app.goo.gl/FfcuHB32p2eeFF1q6
The Arctic, drifting towards the equator, split into two continents - Eurasia and North America, between which the Pacific and Atlantic oceans appeared.
As Eurasia moved south, Scandinavia fell behind Eurasia, resulting in the formation of the Baltic Sea.
Victoria Island also lagged behind North America.
I believe that North America, Baffin Island, Greenland and Scandinavia were close together as they moved towards the equator.
https://images.app.goo.gl/wjcDkrFzeBmShb5X8
When the hot Earth cooled and became covered with a crust, pressure appeared in the bowels of the Earth due to the degassing of magma, and as a result, cracks formed on the Earth, from which mountain systems and ocean ridges then grew.
The low geological activity of the ocean ridges and the ocean floor is explained by the fact that water penetrates into the faults and microcracks of the ocean ridges and the ocean floor.
Having penetrated the faults, water displaces magmatic gases from the faults, thereby reducing the geological activity of ocean ridges and the ocean floor, due to which the thickness of the oceanic crust does not increase. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth%27s_crust
As the Earth cooled, the average air temperature on Earth dropped to 20 degrees, resulting in favorable climatic conditions for the emergence of life.
The first plants and animals appeared on Earth beyond the Arctic Circle and high in the mountains; in the middle latitudes and at the equator, due to high temperatures, conditions for the emergence of life remained unfavorable.
As the Earth's axial velocity decreased, the Earth's geological activity also decreased, causing the average air temperature on Earth to drop from 20 to 15 degrees.
When the air temperature dropped to 15 degrees, due to the cold snap, animals from the Arctic and highland regions migrated to the middle latitudes, and the vegetation and the Arctic Ocean froze.
Temperatures in the Arctic Circle could have dropped even after the tilt of the Earth's axis decreased from 30 to 23 degrees. https://fr.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Origine_de_la_vie
According to the three-body problem, the "sharp" cooling on Earth occurred when the Moon formed from the Earth's rings, causing the axial velocity to decrease, and as a consequence, geological activity and average air temperature on Earth decreased.
According to the law of interaction of three bodies: The Earth is rotated by the western transfer of the atmosphere, then the axial velocity of the Earth is transformed into the orbital velocity of the Earth, then the orbital velocity of the Earth is transformed into the axial and orbital velocity of the Moon.
If the kinetic energy of the Earth's rotation did not transform into orbital energy, the Earth would continue to gain momentum and capsize. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-body_problem
During the formation of the continents, ocean basins were also formed, in which rainwater began to collect as the Earth cooled.
The torrential rains that fell continuously for millions of years during the early stages of the formation of the earth's crust also contributed to the formation of the earth's crust, changing the landscape of mountains and plains beyond recognition.
It is possible that lakes, bays and rivers are the result of heavy rains.
During periods of heavy rainfall, sediment carried by ocean currents could settle near groups of volcanic islands.
The amount of sediment in water depends on the axial and orbital velocity of the Earth, on the speed of movement of water and air masses, and also on the speed of rotation of whirlpools.
It is possible that the vertical movement of ocean waters occurs due to whirlpools, which, having the properties of a gyroscope, maintain the vertical position of the axis in space regardless of the rotation of the Earth, and as a result contribute to the formation of continents and oceans. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Pacific_Garbage_Patch

One thing you might add to your model would be the impact of the earth's surface water. The earth is a water planet. Imagine a time when most of the early earth's surface water was in the atmosphere, as hot steam. While closer to the molten surface, where this dense atmosphere touches the surface, we would also have hydrothermal water. Hydrothermal water is higher pressure and temperature water. It is not a gas or liquid but a dense fluid, that can dissolve minerals. This would keep the molten surface partially dissolved as a hot hydrothermal brine, with the high pressure steam above.

Water vapor is considered a greenhouse gas, therefore this thick atmosphere of water would act like an insulator, and therefore the hot steam atmosphere would become the main source of heat transfer into space; water regulated heat transfer. This heat transfer, into space, through the water atmosphere, would cool the atmospheric water vapor, condensing some in the upper atmosphere.

At first, the upper atmospheric rain would quickly convert back to vapor/steam, due to the rising surface heat. Nevertheless, it would gradually cool the upper atmosphere, with its high heat capacity condensation/evaporation cycle. This cooling will gradually cause the "rain line" to move downward toward the surface. As the rain finally gets to the surface, it also begins to cool the molten/solvated crust, cooling the hydrothermal phase of water, removing its solvent effect, leading to rapid crust solidification and the release of steam.

Since the moon was too small; less gravity, to contain its water, as did the earth, its surface evolution would be slower than the earth. The moon would stay molten longer since it lacked the convective cooling effect of the high heat capacity water cooling cycle.

As the earth's crust and oceans started to form, the molten moon would be like a very close and hot mini sun; radiational heat, that would initially heat/boil the shallow ocean water each pass around the earth. The modern orbit of the moon is closer to the equator, so the poles would cool first, while the equator would be the zone of daily and monthly mega storms.

If we look at the impact of the moon, when the oceans just started to form; first pools of hot water, the condensation cycle within the upper atmosphere, would have hot and cool zones; equator and poles, respectively, because of the external equatorial heat zone from the moon. This heat gradient would begin to form atmospheric and ocean currents, with the poles the main condenser zones, while the equator/moon is the evaporator zone.

Rains made a huge contribution to the formation of the earth's crust, changing mountain systems beyond recognition.
But the continents drifted primarily due to the winds.
And today, polar winds, reaching tens of kilometers per hour, move huge icebergs towards the equator.

Re: The reason for continental drift
« Reply #3 on: 19/05/2025 08:39:15 »
One of the reasons for the daily temperature difference on Earth is the rotation of the Earth.
The greater the axial velocity of the Earth, the smaller the temperature difference, and the lower the speed of the western transfer of the atmosphere.
If the daily temperature difference "evens out", then the speed of the western transfer of the atmosphere does not increase, and as a result, the axial velocity of the Earth does not increase.
Venus and Mercury rotate in the same direction due to the transformation of orbital velocity into axial velocity.
At the same time, the atmosphere of Venus rotates Venus in the other direction, significantly reducing the axial velocity of Venus.

It is possible that the Earth is rotated by the western transfer of the atmosphere, due to which the earth's crust, rotating around its own magma, mixes the magma.
Due to the circulation of magma, geological activity increases, electricity is generated, and heavy metals do not settle to the bottom.
https://ru.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%AF%D0%B4%D1%80%D0%BE_%D0%97%D0%B5%D0%BC%D0%BB%D0%B8
Before claiming that the Earth's interior contains a mantle and core, it is necessary to justify what they are needed for, otherwise they are not there.
The only place where the mantle can be is the craters of extinct volcanoes and faults. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth%27s_mantle
Between the earth's crust and magma there can be a gas layer, like a thermal insulator, due to which the earth's crust does not overheat and the magma does not cool down.
What is between the core and the magma, and why doesn't the core melt? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_structure_of_Earth#Core
There should be dense, fluid magma in the center of the Earth, not a solid core.
Does magma move in the core?
Does water move in the Mariana Trench?
I believe that in nature, hardness increases with decreasing temperature, not with increasing pressure.
