Stick drawings? And these are evidence of what? Aliens? Mole-people? Lizards? Unicorns? Expanding Earth? Sea level change?On the rocks

That plasma thing is kinda neat. Give me some and I'll see if I can paint my dogs with it.

In this case very different pressures, the 1.000 magma just under the crust, the 7,000 deg magma is much deeper. The deeper you go in the mantle the higher the surrounding pressure is .
Mountain snow also stiffens up when an avalanche happens. BTW
I was asking for the science that supports the claim that ancient humanity documented a global catastrophe, and I'm sure you knew that.
All but one are stick men and one is a plasma discharge in a lab. If you saw a giant stick man in the sky you'd probably draw stickmen on the rocks? They all date to the same age and are global so then either they all saw the same thing or all went to kindergarten together. Which is it?
So you are saying the drawings are of alien stickmen? Did they cause Earth to grow and decrease in size and make the seas change levels?
I see lotsa things in the skies actually. Birds and clouds mostly. The occasional airplane or satellite. I think that these phenomenon are pretty inclusive to various areas of the planet. I saw a cloud that looked like a turtle the other day but no giant stickmen yet.
Plasma? Apparently you can do some nifty things with it besides drawing stickmen. http://www.plasma-art.com/
No. You'd best go back and read up before opening your yap on things your pedestrian education can't comprehend.
lol You mean about the guy that Dexter thinks is a nutbar? And what has he to do with old stickdrawings anyways? And what does all this have to do with the sea level and expanding Earth?
BTW, my education isn't walking anywhere.
No. That's not what I mean. Is it what you mean?
That's not all pedestrian means. It also means lacking wit or imagination. Basic, working class.
Just a question for whoever.
If the current continents are the oldest land when compared to the Oceanic crust is there any possibility that at some point the uplift forces being able to create a new landmass the size of North or South America in the middle of the Pacific?
Depending how far it rose each little bit would be pushing water onshore on each and every coast. To come up a mile or so (above the final water level) would swamp those islands with about 500 - 1500 ft of water . Alberta might get beach front property yet.

Highly improbable, I'd say, that doesn't appear to be how the mechanism works, continents aren't formed by the uplift of the oceanic crust. Continental and oceanic crust are mineralogically very different, continents being mostly granitic and the sea floor mostly basaltic. If present plate movements continue for another 100 million years, the Atlantic will be the largest ocean, the Pacific will be much narrowed, the east side of Africa will have split off down the Great Rift Valley, the rest of Africa will have collided with southern Europe and replaced the Mediterranean Sea with new ranges of mountains marking the former coastlines, Australia will have pushed up towards southeast Asia and built a new range of mountains incorporating many of the islands currently northeast of it, and a sliver of California will have been shaved off the west coast of North America and moved northwest to about the current latitude of Vancouver Island. Hard to predict with any certainty though, new subduction zones may appear, new oceanic rifts may appear, the earth's pretty dynamic. But it's not expanding.

Dex, your model says there is no expansion at the moment. There has to be some pressure created by the gravity of the crust that allows for the existence of volcanoes. At some point the pressure should become "0" and after the whole mantel cools it should begin to shrink, what happens to the crust. does it end up folding like the skin of a grape as it looses water from its core?
expansion isnt happening
the earths crust is made of mostly felsic minerals which are made of lighter elements that float on the top. The oceanic crust is made of mafic minerals which have heavier elements

most volcanoes form at cracks or ruptures in the earths crust
Sorry, but I don't think you've thought this through. You said there must be some pressure created by the gravity of the crust, which leads to volcanoes ( a very simplistic explanation by the way for volcanism). If the crust is still there, it's gravity is still there. The pressure can't reach zero in your hypothetical unless the crust disappears from your model entirely.
