... obviously take many years of work yet to achieve anything resembling a consensus. The same could be said about the causes of activity within the plates, well away from the boundaries. According to the simplest version of plate tectonics, the plates themselves are rigid and thus theoretically undeformable, tectonic activity being limited to the edges. But whilst most earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, for example certainly occur in plate boundary zones, not all do. The series of shocks which hit New Madrid, Missouri, in 1811-1812 was not near a plate boundary, and nor was the great Charleston, South Carolina, earthquake of 1886. The active volcanic island of Hawaii in not near a plate boundary ...

... was a sudden disastrous drop in temperature and sediment shows erratic changes. Despite all this evidence, protagonists of a slow dying out of the dinosaurs, such as Dr. Alan Charig, declare that fossil experts are rejecting the disaster hypothesis. Tidal volcanism New Scientist 10.8 .91, p. 54 Further evidence that volcanic eruptions and earthquakes can be triggered by the tidal pull of Sun and Moon was produced at the time of the total solar eclipse on 11th July, when the dormant volcano Mauna Loa broke forth with a minor eruption, upsetting astronomers gathered on nearby Mauna Kea to watch the eclipse. Were they being told something? Recent oil New Scientist 6.4 ...

... was destroyed about 1600 B.C . by a general conflagration, an event which seems to have coincided with the demolition of the city's ramparts, though the evidence as to the date in the latter case is not so complete as to warrant a definite conclusion... Further extensive damage was done by landslide, originating presumably in an earthquake which broke one of the main walls in two and brought the brickwork of this and other walls toppling down in large masses. This disaster was accompanied also by local fires which completely charred and cracked the bricks and the contents of the surviving rooms... The tombs of the Hyksos period were the most numerous and most complete in ...
164. Letters [Journals] [Catastrophist Geology]
... From: Catastrophist Geology Year 3 No. 1 (June 1978) Home | Issue Contents Letters On the topic of piezo-luminescence (" Earthquake Lights", CG 212: 6-8), I saw a very striking example in the Balmat Mine of St.Joe Minerals Corp., in northern New York State, U.S .A ., which I visited briefly in 1952. During a conducted tour underground in this zinc-lead producer, where the ore-bodies are within a highly metamorphosed sector of the Precambrian Grenville limestone, now converted to mixtures of calcitetremolite-garnet-talc, and other minerals of that type, it was shown to me that certain rocks emitted light of one color or another ...
165. Postscript to Theory Workshop [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... From: Catastrophism and Ancient History VII:1 (Feb 1985) Home | Issue Contents INTERACTION Postscript to Theory Workshop Robert C. Stephanos In my article (C &AH, V/1 January 1983) entitled " 'As Above, So Below": Earthquakes, Volcanoes, and- Straight-Line Phenomena," I referred on page 34 to Arthur Day's dissent against the accepted (then and now). "internal origin" theories of volcanic eruptive activity. I wrote as follows: .. . Examining gases from the volcano Kilauea, in Hawaii, he found a temperature gradient as much as 100 degrees below the surface lava's heat: Such a temperature gradient does ...
... to hide Velikovsky's evidence. When we turn to Ages in Chaos, there is indeed a chapter titled "Firstborn or Chosen" on pp. 32-34. It states, "The biblical story of the last plague has a distinctly supernatural quality in that all the firstborn and only the firstborn were killed on the night of the plagues. An earthquake that destroys only the firstborn is inconceivable, because events can never attain that degree of coincidence. No credit should be given to such a record. "Either the story of the last plague, in its canonized form, is a fiction, or it conceals a corruption of the text. Before proclaiming the whole a strange tale interpolated ...

... climate. The Eskimos might become as prominent in the next epoch as the Egyptians were at the beginning of our present epoch. THE MIGRATION OF THE PRESENT ICE CAP WHEN the earth careens due to the combined centrifugal pressures of the Antarctic Ice Cap and the Greenland Ice Cap acting along the same Great Circle, the event will be heralded by earthquakes along the Equator at 45o E. longitude, which is just off the African east coast and at 135o W. longitude, which is in the Pacific Ocean. Those are the locations of points which are 90 distant, east and west, from the assumed points of application of the eccentric ice cap forces which are tending to change ...
168. Atlantis, Part 1 Venus Ch.7 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... From "Worlds in Collision" © 1950 by Immanuel Velikovsky | FULL TEXT NOT AVAILABLE Contents Atlantis The story narrated by Plato of the island of Atlantis that ruled Africa as far as the border of Egypt and Europe as far as Tuscany on the Apennine peninsula and that in one fatal night was shattered by earthquakes and sank, never ceased to occupy the imagination of the literati. Strabo and Pliny thought that the story of Atlantis was an illusion of the elderly Plato. But to this day the tradition, as revised by Plato, has not died. Poets and novelists have exploited the story freely; scientists have done so with caution. An incomplete catalogue of the literature on ...

... yet published is Lewis Aptekar's Environmental Disasters in Global Perspective (G .K . Hall, 1994). Aptekar compares studies from traditional, "developing," and "developed" cultures; he also explores the aftermaths of many kinds of disasters-including chronic disasters (droughts, famines), quick onset disasters (floods, fires, storms, earthquakes), and human-induced disasters (wars, toxic chemical spills, nuclear plant meltdowns). The findings he reviews are complex and varied, and researchers whose work he cites have come to differing conclusions. There is some controversy, for example, on a point central to the present discussion: Do the psychological effects of disasters persist for ...

... . Marine and non-marine life forms are found together entombed; land plants are found also mixed with marine animals. These land plants are typical types found in coal strata and coal can have an auto- or allochthonous origin. In this case all the evidence points to a tidal wave type event similar to those described in Earth in Upheaval. Earthquake Electricity source: New Scientist 24.6 .82, p. 846 We commend this delightful piece of writing on "earthquake lights", a phenomenon much reported, written upon and even photographed by the Japanese. "Scientists, however, have remained sceptical, since there has been no satisfactory way to explain how an earthquake could ...
