Re^2: The worst case scenario

Good point about the drift. Of course, that doesn't explain how you get fossilized fish on top of mountains

Drifting continents have a lot of momentum. They don't stop on a dime, and when they collide the sea floor increases in elevation as the contents buckle (i.e. The sea floor is pushed up, forming mountains).

sigh And here I was expecting your post to end with continents ramming schools of fish and sending them flying through the air rather than simple creation of mountain ranges.	[reply]

Yeah, but when living fish are flung up into the mountains during these collisions, they don't fossilize; they evolve and learn to walk.	[reply]
