Cosmic Impact Site That Created Earth’s Axial Tilt and Fault Lines

© Mihai Radu Draghici

Abstract: Using Google Earth and browsing the geographic appearance of the Earth’s crust starting from the South Pacific Ocean right above Antarctica and traveling over to Drake’s Passage and into the South Atlantic Ocean there seems to be a visual trace that some sort of cosmic collision occurred in that area. (See Figure 1) The impact of the object surfed across the ocean and collided with the bottom of South America where it once connected to Antarctica creating Drake’s Passage opening. This impact also may have had the kinetic energy to break the Earth’s crustal plate and create the fault lines (See Figure 3) in addition to changing Earth’s axial tilt (See Figure 2).[Report and Opinion. 2010;2(2):1-2]. (ISSN: 1553-9873).

 

Figure 1. Impact collision point and path of motion for the cosmic object

They say pictures speak a thousand words so before you read what I’m about to say take a moment and study the photos shown in figures below. In Figure 1, you can see a red outline drawn to represent the impact site and the path of trajectory. The object hit the South Atlantic Ocean and surfed around the top edge of Antarctica until colliding with what was once the connected land mass between the bottom tip of South America and Antarctica known as Drake’s Passage (Figure 4). As the object surfed across the ocean it tore away at the ice sheet and created a gigantic wave across the Pacific Ocean destroying almost every land mass above sea level in its path. The force of the water can be easily seen carving out the entire western coastline of South America all the way up to Mexico (Figure 5).

The Mayan’s placed a monument on Robinson Crusoe Island off the coast of Chile and some people believe this is “Apocalypse Island.” If this impact really did occur then this island would most definitely have been the center point which experienced the most horrific events from the tsunami and shock wave from the energy released in the area. Perhaps the civilization at Machu Picchu in Peru was started because it was the only place left to inhabit after this event occurred in the region. All history was wiped off the face of the southern hemisphere surrounding this impact and affected all civilizations across the globe. The shock wave and amount of water that was displaced out of the Pacific could have travelled as far East as the Lost City of Atlantis. There is a Google Earth image at the bottom of the Atlantic Sea showing a grid-like pattern on the ocean floor which may resemble a man-made city structure about 620 miles of the coast of Spain near the Canary Islands. The force of impact would have created the fault line that broke the Earth’s plate right down the middle of the Atlantic Ocean and would have flooded most of the plains in the area. The story of Atlantis speaks of giant volcano popping out of the Earth and destroying everything and then the city just sinks away under water. Depending on what this cosmic object was made out of it could have added to the Earth’s water mass and increased the amount of water on the planet. Astronomers have found asteroids that contain large amounts of frozen water and this type of object may have been what hit Earth.

If you study the fault line Figure 3 below you will notice that there are breaks in Earth’s plate along the exact impact location surrounding the boundaries of the object’s path as it traveled across the crust after impact. The force exerted on Earth’s crust perfectly demonstrates the pattern of cracks along stress points from the aftershock across the entire planet. In addition to the fault lines, Earth’s axial tilt was created from this cosmic impact as well. Take a look at Figure 2 to the left and how the impact location perfectly represents the physics associated with such a collision rotating our planet’s center of spin.

All this evidence puts into perspective the possibility of such a cosmic impact having occurred here on the planet Earth within recorded history and the existence of human kind.

The axial tilt was not caused by an impact. An impact could cause a wobble, but not a constant 23 degree tilt.

[mnehring]

Good thing then that our axis does wobble, it doesn't have a constant tilt. The Chandler Wobble

[Whenifhow]

FYI

" . . . in addition to changing Earth’s axial tilt

Welcome to Free Republic.

I've been taught that since the Earth is an imperfectly balanced object, it "wobbles" like any other unbalanced spinning object. Wobbles like a top nearing the end of it's spinning. To finish a complete wobble circumference takes about 26,000 years so today's inclination (23.5 degrees) as to the sun will lessen and increase as this cycle progresses.

It is a large wobble. If one circumscribes in the sky via the axis into the heavens, the circle currently extends from near Polaris (today's pole star) to Vega (the pole star in 13,000 years).

[wastedyears]

An impact that could cause a permanent tilt probably would have destroyed the Earth. Also, you’d clearly see a massive hole where the comet hit, and the spiderweb fractures that created the tectonic plates would decrease in size the further you get from the impact. Also, something that large traveling that fast would not have curved. It easily would have been a straight line carved out.

[Christian Engineer Mass]

It has a constant tilt of ~23degs sir, and a very slight wobble about that axis.

All this evidence puts into perspective the possibility of such a cosmic impact having occurred here on the planet Earth within recorded history and the existence of human kind.

Probably when the expression "Crapped Pants" was invented.

[Doomonyou]

That “wobble” gives us our seasons.

[mnehring]

The tilt changes between about 22 and 25 degrees on a cycle of about 41,000 years. The 23.5 degree number is the average that is the simplified version for children’s textbooks.

[Christian Engineer Mass]

No, it's the constant axial tilt that gives us our seasons.

[Christian Engineer Mass]

~23.5 degrees is not just the average, it’s what it is now, and used for meaningful calculations. It’s not going to change any time soon.

[stormer]

Precession.

Tiamat ping.

You guys are way beyond me; it is clear from my perspective, however, that earth has endured cataclysmic events which substantially altered the course of human events. Judgements, some would say.

Either we are random organisms adrift in the cosmos, or we aren’t.

Your call.

[arthurus]

That sure does look like a sideways impact but the rest of it just sounds silly.

[Strategerist]

Either we are random organisms adrift in the cosmos, or we aren’t.
Your call.

Given my preference for the available evidence rather than what people would like to believe, it's pretty obviously "random organisms adrift in the cosmos."

[Strategerist]

That sure does look like a sideways impact but the rest of it just sounds silly.

Psuedoscientific nonsense; site it comes from appears to be the "scientific journal" (please note I'm making air quotes with my fingers there) equivalent of the pay-to-publish book, with a bunch of random "papers" from Bangladeshis, Nigerians, etc.

[Erasmus]

Probably when the expression "Crapped Pants" was invented.

Well, yes it would have been, if only pants had been invented by then.

[One Name]

Then, obviously, there is no such thing as right or wrong. “Values” are imagination.

Darwin was correct.
