Neanderthals barbecuing saber toothed tiger steaks on their
Weber charcoal grills were the culprits back then.
So easy a caveman could do it - man-made climate change that is.

deepest hole ever drilled, the Kola Deep borehole in the Russian Arctic, reaches only 0.2 percent the way to the center...even the best scientific maps didn’t look much better than your middle-school textbook cartoon showing an outer crust, an inner core and a thick layer called the mantle in between But that picture is changing. Researchers... are...seeing is full of complex detail...The mantle appears to be layered like an onion, with major transitions 250 miles and 410 miles down. At the 410-mile level, researchers recently identified a tremendous interior mountain range, with peaks perhaps even taller than Mount Everest. “ [end of 100 word excerpt for those who only read the lead]
Researchers such as Barbara Romanowicz at the University of California, Berkeley are using seismic (earthquake) waves to scan our planet’s innards, much like doctors use ultrasound to peer inside patients...
“Recently, we’ve discovered another change at about 1,000 kilometers [600 miles] depth,” Romanowicz [at the University of California, Berkeley] says. The layers are riven by rising plumes of hot rock. And beneath the plumes, two strange blobs roughly the size of Australia bob atop the core, one beneath Africa and one under the Pacific Ocean.
“More and more, we’re understanding it’s not the standard cartoon picture,” Romanowicz says. “For geodynamicists, it’s a complete revolution.”...
mantle blobs are of special interest because of their impact on life on the surface...and those plumes can trigger devastating supervolcanic eruptions when they surface..and those plumes can trigger devastating supervolcanic eruptions when they surface...that unleashed a wave of eruptions in what is now India...Other plumes led to massive volcanoes that created Iceland and which continue to drive the rumbling activity beneath Yellowstone... . ...this approach cannot easily distinguish warm, dense material from cooler, lighter stuff. That leaves a lot of room for interpretation.

I saw that movie ,LOL
So they can tell that there are mountains and rivers of lava along with mysterious blobs floating under Africa, but we STILL don’t know what’s under Oak Island?

Butt, butt, butt Jules Verne................
That was such a good movie.
Un-possible. Al Gore told me it was 2 million degrees down there.
Coming real soon. They have been using a system that measures cosmic rays (muons) that will map the island underground. It is supposed to take several months (which is probably now complete but waiting for the right TV time) to get a good map.
It sounds like they have already gone boots underground. All that waiting for the correct TV time.
Yeah, and I'll bet it won't be 6,000 years.
We live in a dark age.
I wish Tommy Gold (Deep Hot Biosphere) were still alive.
“Journey To the Center Of the Earth,”
also featuring the memorable actor Pat Boone, who at least managed to not break out into song...
“also featuring the memorable actor Pat Boone, who at least managed to not break out into song...”
Yeah, he did. I think it was in the early part of the movie.
I liked both of them too. 👍
Underground Mountains? Mysterious Blobs?
Sounds more like batholiths and lacoliths to me.
I saw Rick Wakeman’s “Journey to the Center of the Earth” live in 1974.
every day we learn the apparently the only settled science is mad-made global warming science!
LOL
“I saw Rick Wakeman’s “Journey to the Center of the Earth” live in 1974.”
I had the album.
Sing along:
“Crystals of opaque quartz, studded limpid tears,
Forming magic chandeliers, lighting blistered galleries”
So, the earth is hollow after all.
Any space ships?
