Flat Earth Theory / Re: Earthquakes can't exist if the world is flat, but they do exist sooo....

Of course earthquakes can exist on a flat earth. You're addressing the current theory of the mechanism of earthquakes, not the phenomenon...there's a difference. And even the current theory of earthquakes can exist on a flat earth.

Universal acceleration can explain the modern theories for earthquakes, volcanism, and plate tectonics. Why? Because as the flat earth is accelerating upwards, matter is being pressed against the matter below it due to inertia (newton's first law of motion). The bottom-most matter of flat earth (the opposite side of us) receives more force applied to it from the accumulation of mass above it. So, this bottom-most matter changes state and becomes liquid. Then, the liquidified matter at the bottom rises because it's less dense (since it's liquid). This rising magma moves the plates and causes earthquakes, creates the many rocks, and produces lava.

These things don't require a spherical earth in order to operate. We know pressure and temperature have a direct relationship, and it doesn't require a spherical earth.

I see a few problems with what you are saying.
Why would receiving more force applied to it from the accumulation of mass above it cause the bottom of the earth to become liquid? (pressure and temperature do not have a direct relationship.) If anything, more force means more densely compacted, and harder to liquify.
Another problem is just because it is liquid, doesn't mean it's less dense, wood is solid and it floats on liquid water, solid water floats on liquid water...

Flat Earth Theory / Re: Tides and Tectonics

Hi, to be honest in round earth theory, it's not really the convection that moves the continents like a conveyor belt, (it does contribute a little bit) but the main forces are mainly 2 (there are others, but mainly these 2).
1: Like you said heat rises from the D region, and because of isostasy, the ocean bed rises when it is heated, creating a slope from the mid oceanic ridge to the edge of the oceanic crust. thus "falling" away from the mid oceanic crust.
2: Subduction. Subduction is caused because old oceanic crust is denser than new oceanic crust (newer oceanic crust is closer to the ridge, thus hotter) when it gets to dense (approximately 200 million years old) it essentially subjects beneath the continental crust.

Flat Earth Theory / Re: Is magma contained?

Well, from round earth theory, magma is not everywhere under the earth's crust, most of it is the asthenosphere, which is solid rock, but under the extreme conditions of temperature and pressure, this solid rock can flow, similar to lava that you see on Hawaii. Now magma, which is liquid rock, is created when solid rock is turned to liquid.
This can be done in various ways. but when it is created, it has a perimeter, thus, magma is contained.
