A Unified Compilation of Anomalies in Plate Tectonics

This paper is basically a compilation of various anomalies and loop-holes in plate tectonic theory. The tectonic theory explains that earthquakes take place due to tectonic plate movement. Rhetorical questions are raised in opposition to the very basic principles of the tectonic theory and evidences are provided as to why the thin plate theory is implausible. Further evidences opposing crucial concepts such as continental drift theory, seafloor spreading and oceanic floor aging, subduction and emphasising contradiction between data and tectonic model predictions are presented as a part of a preliminary study on Plate Tectonic theory. Technical Area: The paper is a study of the concepts of Plate Tectonics and its ability to effectively deal with earthquake occurrences. There has been organized opposition about the theory called plate tectonics throughout the world. This paper tries to bring out the comparative study between pros and cons of plate tectonics and contains original calculations as well. The paper tries to bring out the facts and figures about plates, its occurrence and leads to another research where the earthquake can actually be negated.
