For nearly half a century, the planetesimal theory dominated scientific thought about Earth's formation. Earth and other planets were thought to have ... more » formed from dust grains that collided and stuck together, becoming progressively larger bodies and finally planets. But there was confusion; the pieces in this theory did not match critical observations about the Earth’s composition. Dr. J. Marvin Herndon’s ebook, "Beyond Plate Tectonics: Consequence of Earth’s Formation as a Jupiter-Like Gas Giant", proposes a new geoscience model to unite the seemingly disparate theories of plate tectonics theory and Earth expansion theory while eliminating their problems and inconsistencies. Herndon explores the ocean floor, hotspots, fold mountains, content fragmenting, ancient Pangaea and mass extinctions in this compelling read. Learn how ancient planetary formation determined the geography of Earth today. « less
