Thinner plates are weaker and more easily moved and so able to support the kinds of crucial planet-shaping plate tectonics experienced on this planet over the billions of years that life evolved from simple one-celled organisms to complex creatures that can fly, swim and read.</I><BR/><BR/>Well I'm thinking that thinner, easily moved plates, would also produce more earthquakes and volcanos.<BR/><BR/>On the other hand thinner crusts probably wouldn't build up nearly as much pressure before slipping, causing quakes and volcanoes to be of lesser severity.<BR/><BR/>On the other other hand, there would probably be a lot more of them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
