Until the end, when they ran out of water and skidded to a stop on the mantle. That part did produce a lot of heat which melted both crust and mantle.

As RD mentioned, it skidded to a stop creating a lot of heat. The energy could only have gone into mountains and heat. The sideways motion used almost no energy.
Yes, some went into potential energy in the mountains. But I'm guessing more than half went into heat skidding to a stop. Again, I don't think this is bad for HTP, but it would be nice to have the numbers.
Only negligible amounts went to heat, ie, (the net descent multiplied by mass) minus (the energy imparted to accelerate water plus negligible other forms).
If you drop a rock into a bucket of water, the energy goes to moving the water around, not heat. If you skip a rock off a river and onto the opposite bank, the transfer of energy to heat is essentially nothing.

Prior to that the plates were pushing water into the sky. Most of the energy went to accelerating the fountains.
Yes, this. It would be nice to have the numbers.
This is definitely not quite accurate. Let's say the bucket of water is full to the brim such that the rock you drop into the bucket causes the water to flow over the edge. This way we can quantify the potential energy you just created by increasing the height of the water. If we were to measure accurately enough, the energy used to stop the water from moving after it went down the sides of the bucket would be entirely heat. And I'm not talking about the entire interaction of the system but just the energy used to stop the water because increasing the surface area of the water exposed would allow for evaporation that would cool the system a great deal more than the heat used to stop the water from moving.
But still, not completely nothing. We can quantify how much "essentially nothing" in terms of heat is generated by the rock stopping on the opposite bank. And we can do the same for the crust skidding to a stop.
Let's be clear, all energy will eventually be counted as heat. The point with the illustrations is to show that the movement does not lead to the direct heating of the water, atmosphere or rock. It goes to other forms first.
Dropping the rock in the bucket moves the water like the hydroplate moved the water skyward. Yes, that energy to move the water skyward is going to convert to heat at some stage, but not in the atmosphere and certainly not in the rock, which is where critics of the HPT say it would go.

OK. So how much of the carbonates were formed underground? 99%? So are you meaning to say that it's closer to 10 billion megatons TNT worth of energy released during the geologic column's formation, rather than 1 trillion?
I guess so, but even if 99.99% of the carbonates were formed before the Flood we're still talking about 100 million megatons of TNT worth of energy released as heat during the sedimentary rock formation, right?
Right and so again, even if 99.9999% of the carbonates were formed below ground, it's still one million megaton TNT heat emitted above ground when the rocks hardened. I mean we keep saying megaton like it's some big number but remember the smaller bomb that blew up Hiroshima Japan in 1945 was only like 1/65th of a megaton and that killed like 70,000 people instantly.
But the energy of sedimentary rock formation didn't----it couldn't. What kinetically changed when the rock was hardening? It just released heat. Even if 99.999999% of the carbonates formed before the fountains broke, that's still 650,000 Hiroshima bombs worth of heat.
Because water would drain off the higher continents into the lower ocean basins quicker than 150 days, especially once the rain stopped after 40 days. Once that happened it's just a huge pile of water on land, that's going to drain off the land and into what are today the oceans. It's not going to take 150 days. But if God sustained walls around the edges of the continents (like He did when Moses passed through the sea) to hold the water on the higher elevated land, then it could take 150 days.
Are you thinking that perhaps the continental crust at that time was actually lower elevation than the ocean basins were? Because I hadn't thought of that. That's interesting. Like, the continents, which are less dense than oceanic crust, needed time to float to the top, and while it was rising due to buoyancy, of course the Flood water just sat in the depression like a continent shaped puddle. But once the continents achieved their modern height, the basaltic crust was now lower and so all the water went into the oceans.
idk. Interesting. Thanks for making me think.
Ok, and?
The heat generated in the crust was either converted into the kinetic energy that powered the fountains, or was used up in endothermic reactions as mentioned above.
You mean below the water that was already very cold because it was launched high into the atmosphere, where water lensing would have dissipated that heat?
See the above videos.
Keep in mind that the Hiroshima bomb was specifically deteonated around 2000 ft above the ground in order to be more destructive. The yield was equivalent to 15,000 tons of TNT.
Spread across the entire surface of the globe, which was still mostly underwater...
I'm not seeing the problem...
Or maybe I'm misunderstanding your argument?
The Bible states that the waters continued to rise after the rains stopped.
Consider what happens when you put a sprinkler into a pool and turn on the water. The water sprays upwards until the sprinkler is covered by enough water for it to not be able to eject the water upwards through the water in the pool, but the water level still rises.
This is similar to what happened with the Fountains.
See the above videos.

Appealing to miracles is generally a bad idea when scripture doesn't specifically state that there were miracles.
Nope. Rock doesn't float on water.
Essentially all of it.
No. The heat from the precipitation of carbonites went into the water. That energy turned kinetic when the fountains of the great deep broke forth.
There was a cap on the heat-carrying capacity of the water before it ruptured its container. The heating came from tidal pumping and carbonate formation.
The rock hardening was almost entirely a process of draining the water. The carbonates were all formed in the sealed chamber.
There was more going on than just water draining. There were vast isostatic changes — mountains rising as land around them subsided, seismic movement.
The continents were initially put at greater average altitude and are still sinking.
Yeah, you're most likely right.
There's a first time for everything.
Gravity. Rocks have cracks in them.
Vaguely, only from listening to Real Science Radio.

Not below about 5 miles.
Even with cracks, gravity doesn't take water very deep — although, to be fair, CM probably means pressure. And, yeah, at any great depth, the pressure gets too great for gaps. Water inside the Earth will only ever travel upward.
And good to see you again!
