@@AndreiBerezin I don't know whom they are pretending but it leads to the meme stickered at 5:24. This image is from BBC weather forecast on 15 Oct 1987. The guy, Michael Fish, said "(A viewer said) there is a hurricane on the way. Don't worry there isn't!" on the broadcast. Hours later, the worst storm in centuries devastated Britain. This was caused by the underfunded computer system for weather forecast back then but the footage became a symbol of unpredictable weather in the UK. The footage even appeared in the opening ceremony of 2012 London Olympic Games as a joke.

3:00 according to one of my Geology lecturers, continental drift isn't caused by convection currents, and scientists have never thought it was. It just ended up in the textbooks somehow and became common knowledge. The real mechanism by which continents move are a combination of "ridge push" and "slab pull", which is essentially old plate dragging the rest along, while newly formed plate is pushed away from where it formed
@galenwest94492 жыл бұрын
Which is caused by……convection currents. All current science agrees with and has reinforced convection currents, which in turn cause slab pull and ridge push.
@Trixtah Жыл бұрын
@@galenwest9449 It seems like the lecturer was trying to explain that the older models weren't so highly regarded any more - such as the idea that the crust was directly dragged apart by the convection currents on the seafloor, which allowed the magma to come up. Or that the magma acted like a big boil and essentially pushed the sea floor apart as it bulges out. Whereas they think now that it's more that the softer raised surface begins to harden and become more dense, and slides down the squishy upper mantle to push on the more crusty stuff. Gravitational force rather than fluid mechanics, as such. Underneath it all is still the mantle convection currents, of course.

Ironically, I'm old enough that plate tectonics was discussed in primary school as this cool new discovery that the continents were whizzing around and smashing into each other. Of note to us in NZ, because of course the country straddles the boundary where the Australian plate is running over the the Pacific plate. The reason it was taught as a relatively new thing is that it until the late 60s that some scientific body endorsed the "continental drift" theory combined with the observations about convection currents in the mantle to give us "plate tectonics" as the approved theory.

It's unlikely that "massive crack" is the result of rifting in the area, instead these cracks often form after periods of intense rainfall and overnight, leading to the not so strange conclusion these might be sinkhole type gullies. However cool it would be to have the earth open up over 8 meters across in just one night, this is highly unlikely unless there is a VERY MASSIVELY SEVERE earthquake at the same time, instead the process is generally much more gradual. So even though this might seem impressive proof of something we know is happening, in truth we just make connections between (mostly) unrelated phenomenons.

Great video - but you guys might want to look into the latest research around what drives plate tectonics! It was the predominant theory since the '60s that mantle convection was the primary force moving the plates, but more recent research suggests that it does not provide enough force to drive to move the plates on its own. It's thought now they are predominantly moved by what by are called the 'slab-pull' and 'ridge-push' effects. Slab-pull being the effect of the already subducted part of a plate being continued to be pulled down by gravity and dragging the rest of the plate along with it. Ridge-push being the effect of the raised edges of plates at divergent plate boundaries causing the plate to slump downwards. Slab-pull is thought to be much stronger than ridge-push, and ridge-push stronger than mantle convection. All augmented by the fact that the further from the divergent ridge it was created at the cooler, and therefore denser, crust gets - and the more heavily laden with sediment. All this has been made possible by the greater understanding of the speed of movement of the plates and the rise and fall of land surfaces provided by satellites and the deeper (literally) looks into the density of the plates and mantle provided by gravimetric studies and seismology. We can 'see' how far into the mantle subducting lithosphere descends before it totally melts away. The same new knowledge has also revealed that Africa will in fact likely -not- split totally apart, as there is insufficient force. The Great Rift Valley will continue to spread for a while, and may even flood into a small sea, but total continental separation, and the creation of a new mid-ocean ridge and the generation of new lithosphere, will probably not occur. That's because the divergence is being driven by the ridge-push effect pushing it away from the rises in the middle of Africa (see the Ethiopian highlands) but as the other end has not started to subduct there is no slab-pull effect to finish the job! Compare that to the Arabian plate, which separated for similar reasons and because of the same upwelling in Ethiopia, but successful split away due to its continued subduction beneath Eurasia under the Zagros mountains. Try: The temporal evolution of plate driving forces: Importance of “slab suction” versus “slab pull” during the Cenozoic - Conrad and Lithgow‐Bertelloni, 2004 Quantifying the net slab pull force as a driving mechanism for plate tectonics - Schellart, 2004 Subduction tectonics vs. Plume tectonics-Discussion on driving forces for plate motion - Cheng et al., 2020 Always love Map Men videos, thank you for the amazing content guys!

@@markcooper-jones7494 Science is a continual learning process! That paper from last year I suggested has some new research that contradicts what the consensus was during my degree, suggesting that maybe mantle convection actually is the more powerful force! I love how geology is such a massive, ancient and fundamental science - why is the world the way it is? - but we're still figuring out something as fundamental to it as "Why _do_ the continents move?"

This is actually the first I've heard of this, and I consider myself an amateur geology junkie. So in southwestern North America, are you saying that the Gulf of California actually won't extend northward and turn Baja California and coastal US California into an island? Also, one possibly related theory I've heard regarding the mysterious New Madrid earthquakes in the central US (miles from any plate boundary) is that the partially digested remnants of the Farallon Plate (named after the Farallon Islands offshore from San Francisco), which was subducted under California at a relatively shallow angle, might have rubbed against the bottom of the crust underneath an ancient fault (which was possibly caused by the near breakup of North America when it pulled away from Africa and Eurasia). That shallow subduction eventually caused part of the Farallon Plate to remain at the surface as the Pacific Plate, and for the plate boundary to transition from a subduction zone into a strike-slip fault (the San Andreas Fault). North of the San Andreas, it continues northward as the Cascadia Subduction Zone, and only relatively recently (the '80s) have residents of Portland, Seattle, and Vancouver realized they're at risk for a much "bigger one" than Los Angeles and San Francisco.

And there was me thinking it was water acting as a lubricant in the form of steam. All I know is that the basalt and granite that comes out of volcanoes looks like it would convect quite easily and the water mixed up in the whole process would only help things along too. So I guess that's 5 things now causing drift all at the same time!
