Earth's Crust Missing In Mid-Atlantic

"Scientists have discovered a large area thousands of square kilometers in extent in the middle of the Atlantic where the Earth’s crust appears to be missing. Instead, the mantle - the deep interior of the Earth, normally covered by crust many kilometers thick - is exposed on the seafloor, 3000m below the surface."

Could the event that caused this huge section of crust to go missing have been responsible for the change in thermohaline circulation that occurred at the end of the period known as the "Younger Dryas" in which the temperature in Greenland rose 10 degrees in a decade. (Remember there was no industrial pollution at the time)LOL

In the autumn of 1949, Professor M Ewing of Columbia University published a report on an expedition to the Atlantic Ocean. Explorations were carried on especially in the region about the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, the mountainous chain that runs from north to south, following the general outlines of the coean. The Ridge, as well as the ocean bottom to the west and to the east, disclosed to the expedition a series of facts that amount to "new scientic puzzles."

"One was the discoverey of prehistoric beach sand...brought up in one case from a depth of two and the other nearly three and one half miles, far from any place where beaches exist today."

One of these sand deposits was found twelve hundred miles from land.

These considerations presented Professor Ewing with a dilemma: "Either the land must have sunk two or three miles, or the sea once must have been two to three miles lower than now...

The silver lining. :')

Um...I don't mean to be argumentative, But Karl Gauss spent a number of years studying that idea...and he has yet to form an opinion.

lol......

Global Warming is causing this. Oh no. Time to buy more carbon credits from Al Gore. /laughing

Very good. I remember this. Seems Ignatius Donnelly may have been right about many things.

Save The Crust!!

Stop Plate Tectonics!

(And Thermohaline Circulation)

[happygrl]

That's the first idea that came to mind when I read this article.

Expanding Earth.

The acceptance of Plate Tectonics was only a few decades ago.

This should not be too difficult to reslove, using GPS.

But we would have to have Real Scientists, uncommited to any orthodoxy, in order to have evidence for this made public.

I read about this revelation not in some scientific magazine or journal, but standing at a super market checkout stand back in 1978.

Nah, Cousteau was whining about it back in '74.

Sandy Berger went deep-sea trolling.

ROFLMAO!

[Red Steel]

Nah, Cousteau was whining about it back in '74.

Then this issue has been cook'n in the moonbat pot for a while. But didn't Ms. Jackie Cousteau of the sea cry about everything under the sun?

I don't think the plates are moving in the Atlantic, but along the Pacific, which is how the Hawaiian Islands are created. I should hit the ol' geology books, but I'm pretty sure I'm correct.
