I did wonder about the olde english. :o Go whither thou wilt with that paronomasia, Ophiolite, it just goes way over my head. ;)
OK, tuned in, ....funny guy. :o
Yes, but it did seem like you were saying that water did not add the majority of the bulk to the plant.
er.... it dies :( Do you suppose guthrie meant that the soil itself evaporates, rather than the water in it? Now that would be a dramatic result :D
Yes, but something more dramatic actually happens to the plant! :eek:
OK But Several hundreds of gallons x 10% = several tens of gallons actually adding to the mass of the tree, no? Try weighing any plant material...
And has anyone ever noticed what hapens to a plant in a pot when you don't add water?
I know it's off topic but I don't think it takes much thought to explain this one, seriously 40 years? :confused: I would guess that it is...
Danniel, it's not often I see this term brought up in this debate, I usually bring it up though. I was going to reply to the OP that where Gould...
Changing the size of the earth to account for tectonic plates and orogeny, when there is a perfectly satisfactory theory that explains this, is a...
I do recall a theory that in the past the Earth was larger and the process of it getting smaller accounted for the uplift of mountains etc. The...

fuzzywuz, yes these plates are sliding around, and way back the currently existing continents used to be stuck together. However they were also...
Sorry Facial, I did mean taking the figure from your post. :o In response to your comment I propose that the distance across the Pacific plate...
I think that this is a misleading bit of text. My understanding is that it should state that - the Earth is a convecting system becuase of broad...
As for the diagrams in the notes, I also can't see anything in these diagrams showing the formation of a new plate boundary. I could argue that...
Sorry about that, after rereading my reply, I am confused as well, I must have been a bit wasted when I wrote that. I think that it was your...
My speculation would infer that when a continental plate collision stops and another subduction occurs at a distance away from the original...
After re-reading the post and thinking about it a bit more I think that I do see what you are getting at. I remember reading in some textbook (I will...
Why use the word divine? It is extractable mathematically, see my last post. Also, I did not say without any measurements, I guess Maxwell had to...
