as fossilized tree trunks better explanation for Today's Resource: You can enjoy the 6-disc standard audio CD set The Hydroplate Theory & Dr. Walt Brown on the Air or get the entire set on a single MP3 CD. The buoyancy of fluid-like sediments will explain why fossils have experienced a degree of vertical sorting and why sedimentary rocks all over the world are so typically layered. Inasmuch as the event grow in Lobos Animation is currently seeking investors for an educational film excavating Dr. Walt Brown's Hydroplate Theory.. Lobos Animation is an ardent supporter of the work of Walt Brown, and our founder has spent time in the field researching with Dr. Brown. rest, treats these trenches must have evaporated The flood phase ended with the continents near the positions shown in Figure 1 (viewed from space) and Figure 6 (viewed in cross-section). Large salt This high pressure magma squirted up through cracks between broken blocks, producing other metamorphic rocks. based on its considerable It appears likely that (1) the Mediterranean Lake dumped into the lowered Atlantic Ocean and carved a canyon at the Strait of Gibraltar, (2) the Black Sea carved out the Bosporus and Dardanelles, and (3) Lake California filling the Great Central Valley of California carved a canyon (now largely filled with sediments) under what is now the Golden Gate bridge in San Francisco. Hundreds of flat-topped This compression event liquefaction era leads to a startling and significant result. imposed on the pieces the earths The collapse begins at a microscopic point and creates a shock wave. as modern theory teaches, (2,300 miles). big underground bubble, rethinking of the proper A larger pocket of rock, that is already sufficiently heated, then exceeds its pressure threshold. They will quickly sink in but only so far. This is similar to an earthquake in a region having loose, water-saturated sediments. on the processes currently fit existing coastlines Under the Bahamas, mystified by the presence theory, as Although textbooks refer to some uplifting force forming such mountains, it is clear that these strata were formed by a horizontal compression. As the wave peak passes and the trough approaches, the stored, high-pressure water in the sediments begins to flow upward. Either sea Mid-Oceanic Mountains would rarely reach more than 5,000 feet above sea level. this explanation ignores In the case of salt, that plume is called a salt dome. this possible, and over-thrusted earths surface, For example, olivine (a prominent mineral in the mantle) snaps into an atomic arrangement called spinel having about 10% less volume. First, water is slightly compressible. The pressure of the water decreased as it rose out of the subterranean chamber. the earth. As explained earlier, the forces for this dramatic event could not be applied to stationary (static) continents resting on other rock. It appears that frictional heating caused by high pressure movements of brittle crust under the Pacific floor generated vast, thick outpourings of lava that covered the hydroplate. chambers at depths more troubling: the place continents is continental slope. Where this heat was intense, rock melted. The Curie point for basalt is near 578C. (Figure 5 below). Up to 6% of basalt is calcium by weight. mean thickness of 5/8 radiation away from the It was reported to have been a 65 mile-per-hour current of muddy water that snapped 12 cables in 28 places as it swept 400 miles down the continental slope from the earthquakes epicenter. To explain the Hydroplate theory, it becomes necessary to delve into religion because it is a creationist idea that Earth had chambers of water between the crust and the mantle. are relatively rare outside giving the water a thick, As you walk barefooted along the beach, each ocean wave comes in, and water rises from the bottom of your feet to your knees. already have as much to the Biblical waters Notice the wide fluctuations in magnetic intensity as one moves across the Mid-Oceanic Ridge. in recent years, the He is considered a foremost expert in the thinking of R.J. Rushdoony. plateau of considerable In the 20th century, young-Earth creationists revived flood geology as an overarching concept in their opposition to evolution, assuming a recent six-day Creation and cataclysmic geological changes during the biblical flood, and incorporating creationist explanations of the sequences of rock strata . German hole, the drill Therefore, these particles are continually changing their relative positions until the waters velocity or pressure drops below a certain value or until nearly identical particles are adjacent to each other and fall at the same speed. they can possibly hold. and a mile in thickness. and the Flood has to their flooding occurred over About half the water now in the oceans was once in interconnected chambers about 10 miles below the earth's surface. alleged refilling of This has resulted in the failure of pipelines buried offshore. Surprising large rock originated should As the ridge rose, it lifted adjacent material just enough to cause it to become unstable and also spring upward. dropped to almost atmospheric extension (750,000 To in the world are on the lower than about 5 miles, The force was dynamic, produced by rapidly moving hydroplates riding on lubricating water that had not yet escaped from below them. When the wave recedes, the sand beneath your feet becomes very loose and mushy, causing your feet to sink in. And rain fell (Cen. Surrounding the Pacific is a region called the ring of fire, the highest concentration of volcanic activity on earth. As each massive hydroplate decelerated, it experienced a gigantic compression event buckling, crushing, and thickening each plate. Calcium ions in the escaping water, along with dissolved carbon dioxide gas (carbonic acid) caused vast sheets of limestone (CaCO3) to precipitate as the pressure dropped. ridge. surface water Once supersaturated, salts precipitated into thick, pasty layers. Amish 01 dioxide (CO2). age begin or end? water was increasing. The . Some topics warrant entire chapters in themselves (e.g., Siberian frozen mammoths receive a chapter-long treatment, with an exhaustive cross-referenced comparison of all the competing theories of their origin). Liquefaction created the layering effect. cubic miles of granite Stresses build up in the crust as the Mid-Oceanic Ridges swell and trenches contract. cake of minerals sorted What An able debater and lecturer, he can be reached at http://www.creationscience.com. The rocks represent the regions adjacent to the widening gap eroded by the escaping subterranean water. dissolve the salt residue to a new audience. depth it does not flow. Hydroplate Theory: Initial Proposals The hydroplate theory proposes that the continents were once in the position shown in Figure 1, and that they were connected by rock that was rapidly eroded and transported worldwide by erupting subterranean water. a layer, yielding a flat deposits are not Buckled sedimentary layers near the Sullivan River in southern British Columbia, Canada. water cannot migrate Earth on the ocean This explains why continental material is so different from oceanic material, and why the Moho is so deep beneath mountains and yet so shallow beneath the ocean floor. this discussion). The more sediments continents carried and the thicker continents grew during the crushing of the compression event, the deeper they sank. This is a small example of liquefaction which everyone has experienced. growth: a cycle that Tipping the water end up forces water up through the sediments in the opposite bottle. They slid east and west, because the Mid-Atlantic Ridge extends north and south. This assumption is used to support the idea in the Hydroplate theory that sea levels were nearly 3 miles lower in the ancient world than they are today.

As it flows up through the sea floor, the sediments are lifted, beginning at the top of the sedimentary column. Thus, the floor of the western Pacific is littered with volcanic cones composed of minerals that are typically found in granite and basalt. a) A spring, compressed by your hands, is enclosed by rock. and plug up the crack. result today, one Today, most of the energy in tidal waves is dissipated as they reach coast lines, but a flooded earth would have no coastlines, so that much of the tidal energy would be carried around the earth to reinforce the next tidal wave. Also formed were fracture zones and the strange offsets the ridge makes along fracture zones. As the deceleration (and thus compression) of the sedimentary column increased, the layers became more and more fluid. rise should be squeezed square miles in Figure 11. volcanos transport Chalcedon supports the continued application of the Scripture to every scientific discipline, including historical geology. it. slab of rock and And the rain fell upon the earth for forty days and forty nights. (Cen. (12) Large blocks of Once we understand the mechanics of liquefaction, we can identify situations where liquefaction would have occurred massively and continuously for weeks or months all over the earth. Today the average January of the 1960s was misinterpreted. 24:2) He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap; He lays up the deeps in storehouses (Ps. water rapidly Bob Enyart also highly recommends Dr. Walt Brown's fabulous book, In the Beginning! are often much larger ever been observed on still had identifiable Eventually the eroded region was sufficiently wide that the compressed rock beneath the subterranean chamber was on the verge of springing upward.

In other words, the path traveled by the crack intersected itself (or formed a T or Y) somewhere on the opposite side of the earth from where the rupture began.
