A proposed perennial plate tectonic map. Present-day plate boundaries (white lines), with hidden ancient plate boundaries that may reactivate to control plate tectonics (yellow lines). Regions where mantle lithosphere heterogeneities have been located are given by yellow crosses.

Well, you see, if the erf wasn’t getting sooooooooo hot and expanding, all these erf quakes could be avoided. Right?

No surprises there.

The New Madrid quakes and a long series of very low intensity quakes across the US show up on those two lines crossing the middle of the US.

This takes me to the hard to explain uplift of the the remarkably stable plate region of the Colorado Plateau (you can read a lot of history in the walls of the Grand Canyon) and the Basin and Range Provence which both of which rose two or more kilometers in elivation. What would cause the Colorado Plateau to uplift so far after accumulating sediments and occasional volcanics for some 600 million years.

This article might lead to some answers and a lot more questions.

You’ll never hear about this in the MSM unless it can somehow be connected to LGBT “rights”.

Thanks for the “Heads UP”. I’ve save the link for my week-end.

Theoretical Geology makes more sense Gore’s climate “facts”.
