Presented by Bob Watchorn. Over the last eight years Bob has been building a structural-geology framework for the Earth. New concepts have arisen from this research in Australia, China, Antarctica, Finland, Africa, South America and now North America.

This presentation will explain exciting new -

Discoveries:

Brittle structures and rings extend to core with sinistral movement in all continents
No evidence of a worldwide Mobile Mantle
Evidence that Atlantic seafloor spreading is relatively narrow and 50°E dipping
Evidence of a 4 billion year old ‘immoveable lithospheric barrier from Alaska to Terra de Fuego
Diamond and metal mine structural geology and targeting can be visualised world-wide
Late Heavy Bombardment ring structures (to 8000 km diameter) extend from surface to outer core and are particularly prominent in top 600 km.

New paradigms:

Earth started cooler and gradually heated up with all original constituents at -100 °C
The earth started rigid and only started breaking up perhaps in the Proterozoic
True Plate tectonics only commenced relatively recently
No lava lamp plumes – generally lithosphere is insitu replaced
Planar and ring structures down to Core correlate with surface mines
Ascending mineralising fluids from Core supply, scavenge and deposit minerals along their path
