Sorry, but no. The hydroplate theory has been knocking around since 1980 is inherently implausible. Here's a critique.

From what I understand of Hydroplate, a large deluge of mud, muck and brine covered the lands, taking with it massive amounts of organic material, vegetation and animals, the result, many of them trap beneath the surface, through heat and pressure, those pockets became oil deposits.
Seems very interedting. Many some parts are correct, but others misrepresented and prolly in some other explainations. The Mid atlantic ridge DOES circle our globe like a baseball stitch...

LOL.....I wish I was a fly-on-the-wall when AngryCymreag read your post.....because the geological reality of the mid-Atlantic ridge circling the globe like a baseball stitch ...is an EXACT example of the geologic templates used to build the Global Continental Displacement Wave model......unavoidable undeniable tangible reality or proof upon which we may read the only truths possible.

Running from the North Atlantic down to the tip of South America isn't quite circling the globe though. Bisecting a hemisphere perhaps but that's not circling the globe or evidence for your hypothetical scenario.

Peter.... the point is proven that geologic evidence of what earth has been through abounds and it is the only "real proof" available hence MUST be where we begin ....cease and desist the Devils Advocate routine it detracts from your warm glowing personality pal.
...bisecting perhaps but not circling.....come on now.......yes technically you are correct.....you have difficulty parsing generic concepts....and Peter yes ...yes....this type of geological scarring is by proxy directly correlating to the GCDW model......please stop referring to anything as being "MY hypothetical scenario"......because nothing is original to me all of this data is already in the public domain.....by continually referring to it as mine you pull everyone away from the public domain sources of the data.....
I am going to begin referring to using geologic proof in proving out the GCDW model as the "Peter Principal" in honor of your influences.
The Hydroplate Theory explains the process of using satllite data to recognise geological patterns or scars....it in part correctly describes causality of some types of geological scarring and the process by which oil is made....the ONLY POSSIBLE way for oil to be made.

See, here's the thing.
Saying that geological evidence is the only "real proof" we have is only true if you discount the words of many ancient civilizations.
For example, H.P. Blavatsky parroted the teachings of ancient Tibetans when she accurately described the mid-Atlantic ridge unusual bathymetry in the late 19th century. Modern Science "discovered" and accepted this in the 1950's.
Those ancient Tibetans must've had some supernatural underwater breathing abilities to know that.
Just prior to Blavatsky writing "Isis Unveiled", an international task force, led by the British ship Challenger and the U.S. Dolphin, obtained the first map of the ocean floor. They lowered buckets on ropes until they contacted the bottom. In the twentieth century, sonar was invented to locate enemy submarines and later it acquired the peace-time use of mapping more accurately the ocean floor. Now satellites have obtained the same information. An article in "Discover Magazine" March 1996, displays this ocean feature with colored maps obtained indirectly - a satellite detected gravity that implied ocean bottom features.
Blavatsky used the then recently obtained information on the floor of the Atlantic to justify her position on Atlantis. She says the mid-atlantic ridge is a remnant of that continent.
"No more striking confirmation of our position could be given, than the fact that the ELEVATED RIDGE in the Atlantic basin, 9,000 feet in height, which runs for some two or three thousand miles southwards from a point near the British Islands, first slopes towards South America, then shifts almost at right angles to proceed in a SOUTH-EASTERLY line toward the African coast, whence it runs on southward to Tristan d'Acunha. This ridge is a remnant of an Atlantic continent.(SDii333)
Ignatius Donnelly's seminal work, "Atlantis: the Antediluvian World", published in 1882, has a map showing this ridge and what was known of it in his day. Blavatsky, however, claims to have knowledge beyond that provided by the research of the good ship Challenger."
She says:
"and, could it [the ridge] be traced further [past the island of Tristan d'Acunha], [it] would establish the reality of a submarine horse-shoe junction with a former continent in the Indian Ocean." (Cf. chart adapted from the "Challenger" and "Dolphin" soundings in Mr. Donnelly's, "Atlantis, the Antediluvian World," p. 47) [The map on page 47 that she references, was omitted in later printings of Donnelly's book but is rescued from a 1900 edition and made available by the hot-link above.]
Before examining 20th century knowledge on this point, we should note her exact words. We may think casually that she is making a prediction. But then she might have said "the ridge will be found and it will go along this path ..." - as though she were visualizing the future scene with clairvoyance. Instead she said "could it be traced further ...". Her language suggests she has no specific knowledge on whether or not it will be possible to trace it further. Rather, she simply has knowledgeSource

Come on Harte. I expect better sources from you. This tract is from Blavatsky.net and is written by an astrologer, not a researcher or academic. Hence, why she's placing emphasis on whether Blavatsky was making a prediction or a suggestion.
Blavatsky was making neither. She was making a statement because this information was known by her and other initiates of the time. Saying "it could be traced further" isn't ambiguous enough for an argument.
As for the British task force dropping buckets into the ocean, I was aware of that and I think you'd agree that this method couldn't and didn't accurately map the mid-Atlantic ridge like Blavatsky did, but rather merely acknowledge it's existence.

It does seem plausible. A quick experiment of two cups, one filled with water, the other with a small hole. When you compresses the top cup down, the water from the bottom cup shoots up through the hole.

Good point and it is remiss to not point out that Geological evidence is in a constant state of flux....which brings us round to the "timeline issue" again......you see it is as difficult to parse the geological epochs or stages of earths evolution into an accurate chronological order.....
