Oh I'm not disputing they exist, but I thought that was using a round earth model.
Why would the view of mountain formation remain exclusive to the RE model?
What makes the current views of mountain exclusive only to RE?
I don't think some of these ideas are exclusively RE.
The Himalayas are caused by the plate India is on slowly pushing north. That is why Everest is still growing.

In the flat earth model the plates would be the same but that would mean the entire edge of the disc has to be the edge of those plates.
And what happens at that edge? In the RE model a subduction zones are boundaries where two plates converge, and one plate is thrust beneath the other.
But in the flat earth model there is no other plate because this is the edge. So what happens?
Subduction zones in RE are areas prone to earthquakes and volcanoes, if the edge of the disc is one big subduction zone then we're lucky the ice wall doesn't melt or crack.
I guess the question is if plate tectonics is accepted in the FE model then that does raise questions about what happens at the edge.
