I have only been in one earthquake in my life. I heard my some dishes rattle in the cupboard. I had thought that a big truck had went by. Later on the news I heard about the quake.

I heard that the earth is expanding and that the plate tectonics are not actually real but they don't want to scare the public.

Plates are real mate, 100% real, the Earth is not expanding, but all the floating plates over magma are moving closer or further away from each other and when become in contact earthquakes occur.

How can you explain Pangea then? I mean, all continents were closer much closer and almost 1 together milions of years ago, if there are no plates, who moved the continents to where they are? hmmmm
