... arising from the bottom of the pot to displace the cooler surface mixture which then sinks to the bottom, is heated, and then rises once more. To observe any part of the convection process, even indirectly, is difficult, but bits of data can be made to fit. Thus, the fact that submarine canyons are coincidental with earthquake and volcanic and mountainous zones implies a turbulent function, such as subduction would be. One cannot deny the evidence of upwelling magma along the great oceanic ridges; there is an output, and there is a movement away from the output. But is there a subduction? The submarine trenches appear to be cleared for action tomorrow, but ...
112. Cosmic Catastrophism [Journals] [Aeon]
... From: Aeon II:6 (1991) Home | Issue Contents Cosmic Catastrophism (1 ) William Stiebing Jr.A large comet or asteroid hurtles through space on a collision course with the earth. As the impact nears, the earth is racked by cataclysms: Volcanoes erupt simultaneously; earthquakes shatter what was once firm land; mountain-high tidal waves destroy continents and change the earth's topography. A science fiction plot? Not according to many authors who have presented a similar scenario as historical fact over the years. A supposed collision or near-collision between earth and an asteroid, comet, or planet in ancient times has been used variously as the explanation for the destruction of Atlantis ( ...
113. Sunk Without Trace? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... legends and names of locations (including the Atlas Mountains and the Pillars of Hercules) were transferred westwards from their origins during the period of Greek colonisation. Nevertheless, Troy could not have been Atlantis, for there are no legends coupling the Greek conquest of Troy with a natural catastrophe. On the other hand, there are legends of severe earthquakes and associated floods causing devastation in the Troad and more southerly regions of Asia Minor some three or four generations before the Trojan war. This was in the time of the Lydian king Tantalus, whose city, called Tantalis, was destroyed by an earthquake and then flooded by the waters of a newly-created lake. James argues that Tantalus was ...
114. The Bible Through a King James Filter [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... translations into the English language has been the Authorised Version of the time of King James I where the translation - or rather mis translation - of many of the original Hebrew terms obscures the plain catastrophic context of many scriptural passages. For example: ". .. in the days of Uzziah, king of Jerusalem, there occurred a devastating earthquake called raash or commotion'".(2 ). " Raash is translated earthquake', which is incorrect here: cf. Jeremiah 10:22: a great commotion (raash) out of the north'. Earthquake' is rendered in the Scriptures by words derived from the roots Raad , hul , regoz , hared , ...
115. New Fashions in Catastrophism [Books] [de Grazia books]
... like rain." In every instance with which I am personally familiar, the resulting deposit could be measured in millimeters. Cities, of course, have much heavier fuel loadings than do forest. But again, ash residue from the burning of a city is measured in inches, rather than feet. The accounts from the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and fire are good evidence on this point. In firestorms, forest or city, there are no ashes left. Firestorm winds scour the burned area clean. Although it is completely out of my field, I would theorize that the only possible way in which a deposit of wood ash many feet thick could be produced in a single ...

ELECTROMAGNETISM Electrical pollution New Scientist 25.1 .97, p. 15 Lightning flashes create enormous amounts of nitrogen oxides and these are major greenhouse' gases. Climate could therefore be affected by periods of intense electrical activity in the atmosphere. Earthquake shocks New Scientist 1.3 .97, pp. 34-37 A team of Greek scientists have been getting positive results in detecting electrical currents in the earth shortly before earthquakes but much of the scientific establishment still doesn't want to know because they cannot explain them.

... whole coast and many homes have been added recently to the more than 30 villages which are known to have disappeared in the sea." Yorkshire offers no exception to the rule. Lincolnshire, from Humber to Wash, is continually fighting the waves, and this is not surprising in view of the fact that it has frequently suffered from severe earthquakes, while the coast stands up only from 4 feet to 20 feet above the sea, beyond which all along its shores can be seen the remains of submerged forests. Within historic times part of Clee Parish has been engulfed; Itterby has been drowned, and the signal-house south of Cleethorpes has three times been set back out of reach ...
118. The Miracles of the Exodus by Colin Humphries and The Moses Legacy by Graham Phillips (Book reviews) [Journals] [SIS Review]
... century AD, when groups of Christian monks inhabited the region, eager to experience the wilderness. One of these groups claimed a particular mountain was Sinai, and somewhat later, in the time of the emperor Justinian, St Catherine's monastery was built, perched on the mountain side. Humphries explanation for the crossing of the Jordan involves an ordinary earthquake and landslip. The Jordan lies on a fault line and earthquakes are recorded in 1927, 1906, 1834, 1546, 1534, 1267 and 1160 AD. However, we may note that Moe Mandelkehr, in C&C Review ( 'Part Two: The Geological Evidence'), claims that impact events were followed by several ...

120. The Rise of Blood Sacrifice [Journals] [Aeon]
... know more about such circumstances. In Assyriology, the cause of the ritual is vaguely perceived as a "power not of this world." (11) Students of mythology even concede "supernatural objects" (12) or threat of chaos. (13) Are these supernatural causes of fear then supposed to be more powerful than ordinary earthquakes, storms, volcanoes, eclipses, and tidal waves? To answer the question as to the character of a "power not of this world," archaeology proves helpful by coming up with more specific evidence. A bronze relief mounted on the gate of the New Year's Chapel in Assur carried the inscription, "The figure of Assur ...
