the solid oil is turned into toxic gas, where there was once oil lubricating the plates there is nothing to prevent earthquakes volcanos and sunamis caused by a drop in the earths crust...try draining the oil out of your car and see how far you get

Oil does not lubricate the earths tectonic plates. By the way where did you get this misinformation?

You have got to be kidding...Where did you hear this junk
Why would oil turn into a toxic gas?
The tectonic plates are far lower in the earth than oil, and oil tends to be in sedimentary basins,Think of porous rock like a sponge with little pockets of oil in it. All the oil in the world wouldn't stop earthquakes and resulting Tsunamies.
Your analogy of a seized engine and earthquakes is not valid, Are you saying faultlines will slip with no oil? or won't slip and cause earthquakes? totally opposite concept.

Umm...oil doesn't provide earth lubrication...I have no idea where you came up with that. The burning of oil produces CO2...which is the major concern, it's not toxic by any means...just a greenhouse gas.
I don't recall any oil being solid either...otherwise oil wells would have a real hard time pumping that out.

no, it's not a fact. It's not even a good myth.
