no disrespect intended...I’ll call bullshit...it had to be equatorial to grow the corals.
aalso, beyond the plates shifting I’ll bet that there have been other contributing factors. Perhaps we have had other north south axis... suggesting that maybe the skin spun on the molten mas due to foreign impact as well as the continental drift.
For corals to grow most require around 80 degree water. To have that water warm to 80 then freeze, (killing the coral) is too tall a order for me to believe. Also thats a lot of water to move 90 to 120 degrees.
I might buy pieces of their argument....If I hadn’t been there, it might be different. Ise seen the ocean , mate, and walked dem shores.
I would question their editor and fact checkers to see if Team Obama and Eric Holder were involved.
Regarding water going from 80 degrees to freezing. Aside from significant shifts in the earth’s crust, and tectonic plate movement, more sudden changes can occur because of very large boloid crashes or megavolcano events. Think the great Permian extinction or the end Cretacious event, not to mention the Toba megavolcano 74,000 years ago.
