Geomagnetism and the rate of Sea-floor Spreading

Ah, but the measured viscosity of molten iron at the core-mantle boundary is 0.016 Pascal-seconds, 16 times the viscosity of water at room temperature. Calculations in this pdf have it as much as 20 times that at the inner-core boundary. Less than pudding, in other words.Added by edit: is George's Majestic Lounge still by the tracks on Maple Street?

If you'll read that paper, HH, you'll find that it has absolutely NOTHING to say about galloping hydroplates. Zero. Not a fucking word.

I apologize, and amend that to "not a durn word."

The U of A had a pretty decent library 35 years ago, and likely still does. And they'll have interlibrary loan. It's right there on the hill....
