Planetary Accretion
You are currently reading a thread in /sci/ - Science & Math
I've recently become interested in planetary accretion.
Does anyone know of any good papers I could take a look at? I'm an undergraduate in physics/geology if that helps.

inst this graph the same looking on two different perpectives?

yes. the point is to see how bizarre the actual paths of the planets would be if earth was the center of the orbit.

Yes it is. notice how in the geocentricism scheme only the sun moves in a perfect circle. this is reflective of the fact that the earth orbits the sun
>>7769593
No, it's showing how the planets would have to move in order to fit the perspective we have on Earth from a geocentrist model.

I am interested to know if the earths current geological fault lines trace the outline of original accretion masses?

Almost definitely not.
Think more like the cracks that appear on a cake left out to dry.
>>7770262
Nah. Think of it like an egg. The planet was formed by collisions of small debris colliding. If you throw an egg at something, then the egg cracks. Same deal with the planet. The cracks on the planet are more like shockwaes hitting each other

It's really more like playdoh. Once a certain amount of gravitational force is applied to a mass, it starts to squeeze out. The continental pllates are where the earth is 'oozing' out.
The when there seeing open planets the end before and also today might even broke better yet in almost 20 miles considering how mild the attitude has taken coverage in the mortality trap currently.
