The New Madrid fault zone in Mississippi almost caused the North American plate to break a while back; “The Mississippi embayment is underlain by Paleozoic sedimentary rocks up to 570 millions years old. The Paleozoic rocks are underlain by even older rocks that appear to have been deformed about 600 million years ago when the North American continent almost broke apart.” https://earthquake.usgs.gov/learn/topics/nmsz/1811-1812.php
Now the Democrats are the big rift in our nation.
We just knew they'd find a way to "Blame Trump" !!!
Yes, it was in the neighborhood of 600 million years ago, when the suspercontinent Rhodinia was breaking apart. Rhodinia preceded Pangea, the supercontinent that existed during the time of the dinosaurs. When continents begin to split apart they do so in a 3-prong process. Ultimately one of the arms "fails", and spreading procedds along the other two arms. This is what is currently happening in the area of the Great Rift Valley in Africa, the Red Sea, and Gulf of Aden.
