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.

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

[@galenwest9449]

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]

@@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.

Tom Scott does a 30-minute video explaining why it is important to say that it is an ad, and how it can be confusing: Jay- "This is not an ad"

[@gen_zirrir9015]

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.
