Compare explanatory power:

     

    Plate Tectonics - A mechanism so flexible it is applied to explain any geologic situation, and the explanations are readily modified to incorporate unexpected evidence; a theory that cannot be disproved.  Globally random; each location has its own peculiar story.  Driving forces are speculative and inadequate.

    Catastrophic Plate Tectonics - Not connected to reality  

    Expanding Earth - Offers only generalizations.  Precise measurements show Earth is not expanding.  Cannot explain Himalayas or ocean trenches (Marianas and Tonga).  Some of its continental motion does not follow transform faults, as with Australia.  No rational source for new additions to Earth's mass, inside Earth!

    Hollow Earth - Offers only generalizations.  Seismic waves show Earth is not hollow (press "Play" button).  Fluidized crust explains crustal rebound from large impacts, not a hollow Earth. Cannot explain Himalayas or ocean trenches (Marianas and Tonga).  Some of its continental motion does not follow transform faults, as with Australia.  Precise measurements show Earth is not expanding.

    Hydroplate - Offers only generalizations.  Impossible initial conditions.

    Shock Dynamics - Virtually all features developed from a single event, features such as the Andes, the Philippines, the East African Rift Zone, the Mariana Trench, the Lord Howe Rise, the Appalachians, the Himalayas, Europe, the New Hebrides, the Bering Sea, etc.  Simple experiments show how turbulence in shocked crust shaped the seafloor (click on blue above).
