Re: intro to geology . . .sort of
The tecktonic theory is total bunk How does plate tectonics explain gravity abnormalities over the trenches. Did some of that water get sucked into the earth. What could cause the gravity abnormalities over the trenches?
Wow! Why do you suppose no geologists have ever noticed this before? How are they abnormal?

You have massive plates believed subducting under the trenches. So how come one weighs less over the trenches?
Because there is less mass between you and the center of the earth when you sail over a trench. That is because you have relatively more water and less lithosphere under you. Rock has more mass per unit volume than water. Very simple, really.
quote:
Massive amounts of water subducted into the earth beneath the trenches, or beneath the dense subducting tectonic plates?
Why beneath???
No, Charley. The water is simpy deeper there. Charley, you also weigh less in your house than in your yard. Gravity over a region can be increased by a mantle of snowfall. This kind of thing is easiy measured.

It seems easier to believe somethings wrong with the tectonic plate theory.

Sure. Weird that nobody thought of this before you. Alas, but no, you are incorrect. Tectonics explains the gravity anomalies quite readily.

The basalt mid-ocean ridges has lava beneath pushing ...
Pushing what? Where?
...unlike the tectonic plates that have water pressure pushing them up.
What do you mean 'pushing them up'?
Which is why you have hydrothermal vents venting water where the tectonic plates meets the basalt mid-ocean ridges.
As far as I can tell this is gibberish.
The tectonic plate (hydroplate theory) is floating upon this water layer because of the incompressible nature of water.
What is your evidence for this layer of water?
Was it this hydroplate water that was pressed below the trenches or was ocean waters above that was being sucked back into the earth as the mid-ocean ridges rose.
Some water is entrained into the subduction zone, however, the main reason for a gravit anomaly is the depression of the oceanic crust and its replacement by seawater.
The waters above the tectonic plate increased as the flood waters rushed off the earth.
Nonsense. That would mean that high density mantle material was repaced in the geological column by low density water. You need a better mechanism.
This increase in weight helped cause the mid-ocean ridges to rise.
Heh. Why weren't the ridges depressed then? They are basalt also...
As the earth seeks to equalize we see a lake draining into the earth in iceland its believed due to faults deep within the earth.
What is the point here? Where do you think the water went?
