52. The Nature and Origin of Comets and the Evolution of Celestial Bodies (Part III) [Journals] [Kronos]
... over long periods of time compared to the life span of an individual member of the species. So, when a high percentage (i .e ., 75%) of all species on both land and in the sea perish at one time, accompanied by a geomagnetic reversal, an influx of meteoric material, renewed volcanic activity, mountain building, and genetic change in the remaining species, most scientists agree that the Earth did not do this by itself. The author agrees with Alvarez, Whipple, Clube, Napier, and others in that asteroids must have collided with Earth and caused extensive damage. This paper further suggests that many of the Earth altering events, including ...
53. H. H. Hess and My Memoranda [Journals] [Pensee]
... point on the original floor. The bottom would sink isostatically by .4 km. To get 1 km. of sediment on the sea floor means eroding 2.3 km. from the continents on the average. This looks as though the continents would be flooded but they rise most of the 2.3 km. isostatically and repeated mountain building thickens the crust about enough to leave sea level vs continent level relatively in the same place it was when the process started. Ewing's sand at 15000 ft. is now largely explained by him as the result of turbidity currents rather than submergence. With regard to paleomagnetism, Runcorn is very convincing but he completely neglects a most important ...
54. Challenges to Evolutionary Gradualism [Books]
... of Natural History, made them the subject of his address as Retiring President of the Paleontological Society. Newell argued that mass extinctions were real events which served to act as markers of boundaries between stratigraphic units, particularly the ends of the Devonian, Permian, Triassic and Cretaceous Periods [64]. They were not associated with crustal deformations and mountain building (orogeny), as they had been in the long-discredited catastrophist model of Élie de Beaumont, but nor did it seem that direct competition between species could be anything more than a contributory factor. Changes in atmospheric oxygen had been suggested as a cause but there did not seem to be any general correlation between mass extinctions of animals ...
... (shock waves, heat, pressure, hot ejecta, ash, vapor, dust, earthquakes, tsunamis, extinctions and a depleted ozone layer leading to ultraviolet radiation exposure) cannot be passed off as the "usual" effects of "normal" local perturbations. Flipped geomagnetic fields, episodes of tectonic drift, sea floor spreading, rapid mountain building and severe climatic changes call for non-gentle, non-uniform causes. To these two astronomers, catastrophes initiated by non-terrestrial intrusions are the only reasonable solution. "The fossil record is hardly Darwinian," they say, (163) for evolution is erratic, containing "numerous brief episodes of mass extinction" (164) and "rapid ...
56. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... : Open Earth No. 17, 1982-B, pp. 30-2 Not all geologists are unquestioning followers of the current dogma of plate tectonics. Peter M. James, an Australian engineering geologist, points out the weakness of a theory which relies on entirely hypothetical convection currents in the Earth's mantle. He supplies a new model for crustal deformation and mountain building which relies on oscillations of the equatorial bulge, producing alternate tension and compression of crustal material as it comes to lie on or off the equatorial bulge. The strain would be likely to show up at the edges of continental masses where the thinner oceanic crust begins, resulting in rifting, subsidence and subsequent deposition of sediment while on ...

Immanuel Velikovsky, Worlds in Collision (New York, 1950), and Earth in Upheaval (New York, 1955). Since these works were published, plate tectonics has explained the folding of rock strata, mountain building, earthquakes and volcanism. Velikovsky's catastrophes thus need not have been as geomorphic as he thought; this strengthens his basic theory. 10. Driscoll, op. cit. 11. Ibid. \cdrom\pubs\journals\aeon\vol0104\050smyth.htm ...

60. Earthquakes in the Early Irish Tradition [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... the basis of the material offered in the foregoing pages, the assumption is made here that earthquakes result from torsion of the crust following a change in the position of the equator and the displacement of matter inside the globe caused by the direct attraction of a cosmic body when in close contact. Pull, torsion, and displacement were responsible for mountain building too. "If this conception of the causes of earthquakes is correct, then there must have been fewer and fewer earthquakes during the course of time since the last cosmic catastrophe. The regions of the Apennine Peninsula, the eastern Mediterranean, and Mesopotamia, for which we have reliable records, can be compared in this respect with ...

... surprisingly, that such major breaks in terrestrial development correlate well not only with macrotaxic speciations and extinctions but also with conspicuous episodes of multiple diastrophism, or rearrangements of the Earth's crust. The chief manifestations of diastrophism are: 1. continental rearrangement (involving changes both in the number of continents and of their locations) 2. orogeny, or mountain building 3. magmatism, both volcanic (above ground) and plutonic (below ground) 4. glaciation, or ice-sheet formation The interface between the Archeozoic and Proterozoic eras, about 2.5 billion years ago, was marked by the merger of two previously distinct continents, known as Pan-Africa and Baikalia, into the single supercontinent of ...
62. Crustal Distortion in the Holocene [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... ) Home | Issue Contents Crustal Distortion in the Holocene Phillip Clapham The talk at the 2004 AGM by the geologist Han Kloosterman [1 ] pinpointed a catastrophe at the boundary of the Pleistocene and the Holocene periods. This boundary is a kind of shut-off as it marks a phase of mass extinction in conjunction with vast geological changes, such as mountain building episodes, volcanism and marine transgressions. Kloosterman associated it with a burnt charcoal layer – delineating vast landscape fires. It has been suggested by various authors (2 ) that this catastrophic scenario encompassed a shift in the geographical location of the North Pole – from somewhere in the Hudson Bay area to where it is now. Subsequent Holocene ...
63. Paleoclimatology and Infrared Radiation Traps: Earth's Antediluvian Climate [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... boiled dry. The Morris model would seem unlikely to reduce the latitudinal temperature range or to achieve moderate temperatures. The Patten Canopy Donald W. Patten has developed a scheme of catastrophism which is astronomical in scope in order to explain: (1 ) the antediluvian climate, (2 ) the mechanism of the Flood, (3 ) recent mountain building, and (4 ) the origin of glaciation. His proposal is a canopy which predates the last three events. This canopy is logically dependent upon the flood catastrophe only for its dissolution. We can thus consider his climatic model of the preflood atmosphere in isolation from the Flood itself. The Patten canopy is of continuous cloud within ...

... we seem to have been continuously losing our atmosphere, either by attrition or through catastrophe, and there certainly aren't enough venting mofettes, spewing atmospheric gases out of Earth's interior, to replenish what remains. Oleogenesis On one level, if we collect together a group of geologists into a committee, they will file a consensus report on orogenesis- mountain building. On another level, on a one-for-one basis, each of them will have their own respective laundry to hang on the line. Or one might amiably chat with a graduate student in geology, in which case the response may be right out of the textbooks currently in vogue (even if some of the concepts- such as ...

... (in Ragnarok), who pointed out that the pebbles found in them were striated in a peculiar way which he attributed to their having been formed in a comet's tail. Geologist Professor von Bitter countered with the received geological theory based on Lyell's the present is the key to the past'. He cited erosion, deposition, liquefaction, mountain building, fossil extinctions, etc. He described sediment as solid material in suspension moved by air, water or ice. He said cyclothems had been created by repeated rises and falls in the sea level - though he did admit that this up-and-down movement might have had catastrophic origins. He said, in response to Zysman comparing a cyclothem ...
67. Nemesis for Evolutionary Gradualism? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... (two in the Soviet Arctic, two near the Black Sea, and one in Iowa), and perhaps there is a much bigger one still undiscovered [140]. The detailed effect of impacts on the environment is extremely difficult to assess [63, 128], particularly since they may influence geological processes such as sea-floor spreading, mountain building and vulcanism on a global scale [16, 141]. Many environmental changes could thus be linked to extraterrestrial impacts, but of course some could still be of purely terrestrial origin. Hence it seems that some of the more severe mass extinctions, such as those at the end of the Permian and Cretaceous Periods, could be ...

... of coincidence. Next, Sagan's distortion of the story of manna was corrected, followed by the correction of five of Sagan's misrepresentations: the plague of scarabs, earthquake proof Hebrew dwellings, that all Hebrews crossed the Red Sea safely, grazing collisions, and collective amnesia explaining missing concordances. Sagan's comments about the extreme antiquity of geomagnetic reversals and mountain building were countered with the example of 8th century B.C . Etruscan vases possessing reversed polarity and the conditions attending the present height of Tiahuanaco in the Andes. Next to be rebutted were Sagan's remarks about Jupiter's fissioning, the odds against Worlds in Collision, and the stopping and restarting of Earth's rotation. "The scientific basis for ...
69. Galactic Domains, G Fluctuations and Geomagnetic Reversals [Journals] [Catastrophist Geology]
... volcanism, transgression cycles and polar wanderings are undoubtedly connected on a grand scale. Their common intensification in certain periods of the Earth's history shows this to be true. However, what is cause and what effect, only the future will unveil. ' Discussing the theory of these cyclical events, Steers (1964) speaks of one theory of mountain building involving sima passing through successive solid and molten phases at a frequency between 33 million years and 60 million years, but casts doubt upon the theory because the mountain-building has not been so regular. Of more relevance to the space domain hypothesis presented above, we note that Steiner (1973) reports a possible galactic relation between sedimentation sequences ...

... recently involved in planetary near collisions. That is to say, the astronomers with whom so much of Velikovsky's account is concerned have taken a step backward and left the brunt of the contest to the geologists, who are charged with the time scale of the powerful forces which they know all too well have shaped the surface of our planet. Mountain building was recent; changes in sea level and sedimentation on the seabed floor were recent; phenomena we attribute to the end of the last ice age, like the creation of Niagara Falls, were recent. It will be interesting to see how many years pass before the geologists, too, will be willing to say: Yes, ...
