RE: My Faults: A Journey Along the Pacific and North American Plates, Part 3 of 3 (Parkfield to Mexico)
I have always wanted to buy that strip of land.
100 feet wide and a couple hundred miles long. Then...
It would be all my fault!
I also am finding that the expanding earth model describes earthquakes and movement timing better than plate tectonics (floating plates).
It's everyone's fault! As for expanding earth, maybe but probably not. That theory has been around a long time and no one has really come up with any proof of it. Certainly, there are parts of the earth that expand (such as along the mid-Atlantic ridge) and other parts where expelled magma kind of deflate part of the proverbial balloon and the surface sinks (even while volcanoes deposit new material on top). That also happened along Cascadia during the last big earthquake there when the entire coastline sank, so when one plate subducts under another there can be big changes what we see on top and it seems like a contraction. On a smaller scale, when we drain an aquifer, the elevation drops and there the earth appears to contract rather than expand. I'd be open to other explanations that present actual evidence, but I think we're getting far along now with plate tectonics, though in geologic time it's still a new branch of science.
When the russians drilled their bore hole, after they got 8 miles down, they ran not into lava, but into a slurry of water and granite. So, basically all the previous ideas about the layers of the earth are pretty much thrown out.
Iron, heated to even red hot, is not magnetic. Thus, the idea that the earth has an iron core, and that is why we have a magnetic grid is false.
That gravity is caused by mass has only been shown by one insane rich guy in a barn, and the test never repeated. Electric universe models and aether theory models have different ideas for how gravity is formed. And with massless objects about to come into wide knowledge, then everything we think we knew about gravity will be thrown out.
Then you have hydrocarbons. Deceitfully called "fossil fuels". However, pockets of oil have been drilled into miles below where any earth surface ever might have been. (again, russian deep well drilling) It appears that the earth continually makes hydrocarbons and they bubble up through the earth. And where we find oil is in domed impervious layers, like salt domes.
Even further, you get findings that say the bottom of the Pacific Ocean is some of the youngest geology on the planet.
You add all of these up, and you get a very different view of the earth.
Then you add conspiracy theory and woo-woo...
NASA only has two photos of earth, the rest are confirmed photoshopped images. If the earth was a ball, then we should have thousands of images. One from each manned mission, at minimum.
Then there is the hollow earth theories. SOOOO many stories by so many peoples. That there is other people that live on the inside of the earth.
You add these in, and get in even weirder view of what the earth might be.
So, for me, this looks like an exciting field to be studying. The future will bring us surprises
