SECTION IV
NEW INFORMATION ADDED THROUGH 2015
- 2016
Section IV of this book examines new information
that I found in 2015 - 2016 that relates to the subject of this book.
This new information covers the following subjects:
1. Chapter
4.1 - Animal Evidence of Separation of Eastern North America from Western North
America
2. Chapter 4.2 - Evidence of Northwest Movement of Land in
Western North America
3. Chapter 4.3 - More Linkage Between Cosmic
Impacts and Fatal Volcanism
4. Chapter 4.4 - Western
Antarctica
5. Chapter 4.5 - Hotspots, Plumes and Volcanism
6.
Chapter 4.6 - Reduced Friction in the Crust and Mantle Rocks
7. Chapter
4.7 - Telescoping Subduction
8. Chapter 4.8 - Cause & Effect
Involving Cosmic Impacts and Antipodal Volcanism
TWO MAJOR HIGHLIGHTS
Of
particular interest are Chapter 4.2 and Chapter 4.8
Chapter 4.2 focuses
on three papers that speak to the northward movement of a western section of
the North American continent. In particular, the paper by Robert S. Hildebrand
shows extensive evidence that this northward movement must have occurred, even
though he gives no reason why land in the middle of a supposedly solid
continent should behave this way. He is merely reporting on the evidence that
he finds in front of him. Since this evidence provides wonderful support for my
theory, I am happy to find out that it exists. It's important to remember that
I was proposing this type of northern movement for a western section of the
North American continent (what I call the "Siberian tail) more than five years
before any of this corroborating evidence was published.
Chapter 4.8
speaks to a recent article that suggests that the Chicxulub impact may have had
some effect upon the cause of the Deccan trap eruptions, even though the
mechanism is not yet clear. After years of denial that the Chicxulub impact
could have had a cause-and-effect relationship with the Deccan traps, some of
today's noted geologists are now willing to take a new look at this
possibility. Chapter 4.8 explores the reasons why the article is a move in the
right direction, as well as why the science of geology still has a long way to
go in order to truly figure out the mechanisms involved |
