'''Hydroplate theory''' is a concept proposed by retired [[USAF]] [[colonel]] and [[mechanical engineer]] [[Walt Brown (creationist)|Walt Brown]] of superfast [[continental drift]] in his book titled, ''In the Beginning: Compelling Evidence for Creation and the Flood''. The vast majority of geologists and other scientists consider the idea to be religiously-motivated [[pseudoscience]] with no scientific evidence to support it. |

Brown proposes that there was once a [[layer]] of [[subterranean]] [[water]] that acted as a [[lubricant]], allowing the [[continents]] to rapidly move from their former position to their present-day position in only a few years (or less). Brown claims that a one-mile-thick layer of [[salt water]] has been detected 10 miles below the [[Tibetan Plateau]] [http://www.creationscience.com/onlinebook/]. This belief is used as support for a [[biblical inerrancy|biblical literalist]] view of the creation and [[Noah's ark|flood]] accounts in the [[Bible]]. |
