I’ll be the first. Bushs fault.
First recorded event of global warming?
Man this is a horribly written article on what is very interesting work.
It gives the wrong impression this was some sort of sudden event rather than something that took millions of years.
Sub-prime loams. The collapse was inevitable.
Mu?
Lemuria?
How do you destroy mountains.
Particularly mountains that are mostly submerged already.
Maybe the author was just going for the dramatic.
One tectonic plate slipped out from under another, and in doing so, displaced a considerable amount of the overlying mantle, allowing a great deal of heat from the earth’s interior to escape, warming the ocean in a way that mankind, with all its concentrated technology and single-minded determination, could not possibly achieve.
It probably also thrust up the Sierra Moutain range, creating the Great Salt Lake Basin, which was once an arm of the sea.
The Great Salt Lake is simply the remaining puddle of that once huge sea that arced out across what is now northern California, Washington State and Oregon.
***MU, Lemuria..***
Curses! You beat em to it!
“The Japanese landmass then acted as a vast plug in the crack between the plates, changing their movement and rearranging the geography of the Pacific, the team found.”
Michael Moore could serve the same purpose today, if needed.
**How do you destroy mountains.**
An old book written or published around 1968 showed the “lost” continent of MU, or Lemuria. A mountain range over a series of caverns. when one end of the mountain range erupted, pressure in the other caverns was releaved and the other mountains collapsed into the caverns.
No one takes the MU books seriously.
Noah's Flood
And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg; for in his days was the earth divided; and his brother’s name was Joktan.
Amazing what you'll find in the Bible.
Or NAsbU 1 Chronicles 1:19 Two sons were born to Eber, the name of the one was Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided, and his brother's name was Joktan.
If that was an earthquake it would be about a 12. There was one a little smaller that raised the Andes a mile within the memory of the human species.
This is all nonsense - everybody knows that the Earth was created 6000 years ago.
You’re preaching to the choir. It’s in my other history Book.
BUMP!
