Mission Impossible - Convection.
Plate Tectonics' story. Think about it. 1. A whirling mass of space dust, planetoids and planetisimals gravitational coalesce in a cataclysm of impacts and heat generation. 2. The mass incandesces. 3. Using up the heat as it cools down, this mass differentiates and forms a crust. OK thus far? Y/N? So, .. 3. It's used up its heat to do that - make a crust and differentiate it. It doesn't matter how many sources of heat remaining are intrisic to the earth, there will not be enough left over to break the crust up and destroy the products of convection. If there were, why would it ever have formed a crust in the first place? What's difficult about this? Surely this is common sense? What convection-leg is plate tectonics standing on?
