* Many Leading Experts Agree: There is tremendous observational evidence in the vicinity of the ocean trenches that contradicts the subduction claims of plate tectonics. On today's program, hear from the world's leading plate tectonics experts openly admitting the extreme contradiction between their theory and the actual ocean depths! And if you've heard of marine geology expert Chris Smoot, you're in for a treat because RSR here publishes this summary of his work by our friend Ellen McHenry!

Cont:
Plate subduction is believed to occur primarily in the Pacific at the deep trenches in mid-
ocean and along the continental margins. According to the plate theory, seafloor spreading in the
Atlantic, Indian and Arctic oceans causes the plates to converge on the Pacific where they collide
and overlap. When this occurs, one of the plates is subducted beneath the other and it descends
back into the earth's interior (where it is 'made mantle again') along the seismically active
Benioff-Wadati Zone. Subduction into the trenches supposedly eliminates crust as quickly as
seafloor spreading creates it. For every square mile of new crust created by seafloor spreading,
an equal amount of old crust must be consumed by subduction.
At www.ncgt.org (the New Concepts in Global Tectonics journal) (June, 2015) some of the mismatches are brought to the reader's attention. A connection between ocean trenches and deep earthquake zones is not always present as should be expected if subduction was taking place. Ocean trenches, rather than subduction zones, appear to be rift like structures (as occur on the land surface) which seems to indicate tensile failure. Not only that, many of the trenches in the Pacific contain horizontally bedded sediments on the basement (at the bottom of the trenches) dating back many millions of years ago – which by itself is very odd. Old sea floor is supposed to be subducting at ocean trenches, down into the Mantle. Clearly, this cannot be the case if trenches have sediments that should have disappeared many moons ago.
Subduction elsewhere (at continental margins for example) is also suspect. Smot et al (2001) in his book, 'Active Margin Geomorphology' found no evidence of seismic activity where subduction is supposed to occur (around the perimeters of the Pacific). Choi (2005) could find no evidence for subduction in Indonesia or at the Juan de Fuca Plate. In other places geological sequences are known to occur across what are thought to be regions of subduction (in the literature) hence being obvious evidence the landscape is not subducting. The author, Vadim Gordienko goes on to say that in spite of all this lack of actual physical evidence for subduction there is an ongoing enthusiasm in settled science for the isomorphic approach to global tectonics (which indicates there is something seriously wrong with the settled science of geology).
