      When you look at how fast the lava can flow. It does make you wonder if the Earths surface is really billions of years old. Could not rapid sea floor spreading and huge volcanic eruptions released the earth from Glacial Ice 12,000 years ago or so?

    • @kerriadereth
      @kerriadereth 3 роки тому +1

      @@superchuck3259 This is the problem with our abilities to judge scale. Even our Pale Blue Dot of a planet is actually so big it is difficult to wrap one's mind around. The Siberian Traps erupted roughly four million cubic kilometers(!) that covers seven million km^2 over a two million year period, but Europe alone has a surface area of ten million square kilometers! The Mid-Atlantic rift, which is the geological feature driving this eruption, is only spreading at a rate of 2.5 centimeters a year. That's a speed that makes the pace of glaciers seem speedy!

    • @superchuck3259
      @superchuck3259 3 роки тому

      ​@@kerriadereth The Great Flood is real. The exact date, hard to say, 20k or 120k years, not sure, but I just know that rapid sea floor spreading is possible and likely the cause. If the Atlantic was created quickly, the hot lava hitting sea water would cause huge flooding and tidal waves. Also oceans filled with bubbles of steam would make the water take up more volume, causing flooding, plus tsunamis from earth quakes. Think about this, normally faults don't move much, but during earth quakes, they can rip and move a lot. The glaciers could have formed from the rain and snowfall from the warm oceans from the hot sea floor cooling. If you can't imagine this, then you are missing the thought experiments that are critical to understanding how things work. Enjoy the theories, but realize that 2.5cm per year, is just the current rate. There are rivers that erode 2.5cm of shore a year, then suddenly there is a 1,000 year flood and the shoreline moves 100s of feet!

    • @OneLeatherBoot
      @OneLeatherBoot 3 роки тому +1

      @@superchuck3259 There have been a number of major floods in various regions of the world. Most relate to the end of glacial ages where trapped melt lakes from retreating ice sheets (kilometres high) suddenly break free. Think of lakes the size of the US Great lakes and larger.
      The English channel was created by one of these. The Grand Canyon another. Probably the straits of Gibraltar were opened up by another.
      The Atlantic was not created quickly, as the rocks have measurable magnetic signatures, which flip around every 100,000 years or so it is possible to follow the spreading "conveyor" like pattern. This was discovered around the 1960's (I might be off a touch on the date), but it is well recognised scientific fact.
      Hot lava hitting sea water doesn't create flooding. It creates pillow lavas (think squeezed toothpaste) if underwater, or new land if coming from a land based source and there is enough of it (Hi Hawaii). The amount of steam and bubbles is going to be very localised and the ocean is a big place.
      These types of eruptions leave behind deposits that geologists can map and also come from volcanoes that have a different type of lava (more silica rich - sticky) than from spreading ridges on plate boundaries, which tend to be less silica rich and flow more (less sticky)
      Heat transfer and warming of water certainly does happen and the general ocean currents follow certain patterns, which certainly affects our weather.
      To create a tsunami, you need a very rapid displacement of water such as a massive earthquake with an uplifted, or down faulted component like off Indonesia, or off the coast of Japan in recent times. Or from a very violent volcanic eruption, such as Krakatoa (Indonesia), or Santorini (Greek Islands) where the islands basically blow themselves apart. The Atlantic spreading ridges do not have the explosive type of volcanoes to support your hypothesis. I have excluded foreign objects from Space in this, as your comment was about Volcanoes & EQ's, which are more common in any case.
      The planet and sun also go through different phases in terms of distance to each other, solar output, oxygen output (global cooling if too much CO2 is captured & released as O2) and the like as they move through the Milky Way, which has affected the planet with ice ages.
      So in summary, the land didn't suddenly appear ~12,000yrs ago along with a great flood from volcanoes & glaciers as there are remains of people living in many parts of the world for far longer than that.
      There is a massive of evidence that supports the planet being very old indeed.
