I forgot to add this video last night while waiting on the smilie to upload, it's where he's talking about the paper linked at the bottom where I got this information.


while pondering the plate tectonic/ micro nova, CME connection, I started researching to find plate tectonic movements as a result of irregular magma blooms from the outer core and found that the direction the plates are moving has changed,(radically in South America) .

in this study the difference is only 5 years and you can see at some points there has been as much as a 90 degree shift.

Our results show that the apparent hotspot motions derived by subtracting the observed hotspot migration velocities from the T25M plate velocities exhibit a combined pattern of being opposite to plate velocities and moving towards mid-ocean ridges. This pattern implies that asthenosphere return flow may play an important role in controlling the apparent motions between hotspots.
