"Ley lines" — alleged alignments of ancient sites — were proposed by Alfred Watkins (1921) as practical trading routes, NOT mystical energy channels. The "earth energy" concept was added later (Michell, 1969). Statistica

O_2_03 — Plate Tectonics, Continental Drift, and Deep Earth

Plate tectonics — the theory that Earth's outer shell (lithosphere) is divided into rigid plates that move, collide, and separate atop a convecting asthenosphere — is one of the great unifying theories of modern science.
