Without plate tectonics all the water would soak into the earth and we would die of thist

>There's no way to predict them in advance unless they have already happened.
It is possible to predict Earthquakes, the problem is that scientists will NEVER find a way to do it if they continue to believe the Earth is a globe. It is only possible to predict all earthquakes in a FLAT Earth

>>15219266
>Now the tectonic plates move and collide because the earth's interior is molten, right?
No, no one actually knows what "the interior" is made of

>Part of the main components are already there, the iron core of the planet.
It's not made of iron you dumbass, the only empirical data (from seismic waves) says the viscosity down there is the same as water

What's with you non-geophysicists spouting so much garbage about the planet? Where do you learn all this nonsense from?

>>15219277
Okay. This is a simple fix. All we do is shove all the iron from the next planet destroying asteroid into the space the core is currently at. Part of the plan involves all the copper from one as it is, so this wouldnt be too much of a deviation.

That doesn't sound right

Whoever wrote this does not know what viscosity is, since they made the elementary mistake of not knowing water's viscosity, like anything else, changes under pressure and heat

>based on the relative prevalence of various chemical elements in the Solar System
No one actually went to any of those places to collect any of those elements, this is just astronomy being the pseudoscience it is. Moreover, the composition of another planet would not say anything about this planet.

>the theory of planetary formation
If you are too retarded to not see they're fitting data to the theory, that is, this is petitio principii and the usual fraud scientists do, I can't help you.

>and constraints imposed or implied by the chemistry of the rest of the Earth's volume
There are no constraints that impose or imply anything, this is just what their model, that does not predict anything and is constantly changing because they have no idea what they're talking about, says it should be. The only direct empirical evidence about what is in there is from seismic waves, everything else is trying to fit data to their supersonic spinning wet globe earth model (scientists never ever made a lab model of the globe Earth though, not even it's magnetic field, whereas flat earthers have). If e go by the same standards of evidence scientists use, a hydroplate expanding flat Earth model is MUCH more reasonable

>>B. Buffett estimated the viscosity of the inner core at 1018 Pa·s, which is a sextillion times the viscosity of water
Also, the way scientists determine this number is by experints with iron on their labs on the SURFACE, they're not measuring anything
https://london-nerc-dtp.org/2018/10/05/the-viscosity-of-the-earths-inner-core/

>While the viscosity of the Earth’s liquid outer core is relatively well understood (runny like water), that of the inner core is not. High-temperature experiments on solid iron at ambient pressure lead to estimates for viscosities of ~1013 Pas; however this is likely to be a lower limit as the value may increase at higher pressures. Seismological and geodetic observations have led to a number of estimates for inner core viscosity ranging from 1011 to 1020 Pas.

Empirical data says at the very least the outer core's viscosity is exactly like water's.

I would also recommend not using wikipedia as a source since the page you linked was written by people too retarded to know Earth is not a magma ball like pictured in your link illustration, as olivine, the mineral that composes most of the crust, is green, as written in their own other article
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olivine

>>15219609
Pic is a more accurate illustration, though the outer and inner core are actually just water and the Earth is not a globe, but you just can't expect such an advanced knowledge from scientists

That viscosity value is normalized, the temperature is already taken into consideration. Hers another resource with a similar value

>If you are too retarded to not see they're fitting data to the theory
Earth science is not really comparable to cosmology. To say data is lacking in cosmology doesn't discount what we've discovered about the earth. All the data points to the earth inner core being essentially solid
>>15219592
Pretty much every resource says something along these lines
>The inner core is a hot, dense ball of (mostly) iron.
>unlike the outer core, the inner core is not liquid or even molten. The inner core’s intense pressure—the entire rest of the planet and its atmosphere—prevents the iron from melting
