I figured a distance of 3000 miles (roughly that between Europe and North America) that had to be covered in 4300 years ending at a speed of two to four inches per year. That is what gave me the 20 feet per day starting speed.

When did it slow down to the rate we have now? Would Ben Franklin have noticed it? Did anyone notice it and write about it?

Re: Getting back to the Mid-Ocean Ridges
And while all the rapid plate movement was going on the trees were quietly producing annual rings and Lake Suigetsu was producing tens of thousands of layers.
​
Man you walked right into that one.
​
The wind caused by the rapid plate movement caused the trees have more growth rings and caused ripples on Lake Suigetsu that produced extra varves. And we all know that wind causes radioactive decay to speed up, too.
