Thanks fieldmarshaldj. Sounds like a kludge, just as similar ideas did to me 30 years ago.

Those moraines are from the most recent glaciations.
Stupidest hypothesis I have ever heard. The deposits would just be deposited in the oceans where there is accommodation space. It would take quite a subduction zone to transfer all of that into the mantle.
Huh? This has nothing to do with modern glaciation. The “Great Unconformity” was during the Cambrian Period about 500 million years ago.
Yuk, yuk.
Stupendousilistic!
Gravity is your friend. We are all destined to return to the oceans.
Nothing is “missing.” Nothing “belongs.” Earth is exactly as it is because it is. There is no “should.” Your ideas on how the Earth should be have no validity.
Right. Moraines around now are mostly from 12,000 or so years ago. But they are examples.
Moraine from 250+ million years ago would almost all be long-buried by plate shifts and extended glaciation periods since then. That’s why they’re ‘missing’.
The mother of all subduction zones.
Yup. We’re changing the condition/state of things but nothing is being added or subtracted. If we’re adding stuff, where did it come from? If we’re eliminating stuff, where’s it going? (sneaking out the ozone hole?) Reminds me that I need to re-order some more ‘bozonium’. Guess they’ll need to mine some more out of the bozone layer.
Lol. You’ve got me on that one.
“Is ‘ginormous’ a real word now? Ugh.”
Was mainstreamed in the movie Elf. There really is no final authority when it comes to determining which words become part of a particular language.
The heating and cooling of the earth is fairly regular. If these GW idiots did just a little reading they would understand this.
You would be able to find them in the bowels of the Cambrian ocean. It would be difficult to hide thousands of feet of rounded cobble-sized stones. They are not preserved anywhere. But it makes for a good bedtime story.

Thanks fieldmarshaldj.
If the Grand Canyon is, say, forty million years old and Ice Ages occur, say, every forty thousand years, then the Grand Canyon must have been covered with ice over a thousand times in its history. Odd that the Colorado River can leave its mark, but being covered by an ice pack a mile thick a thousand times -- for centuries at a time -- does not. [JoeSchem]
Of course it doesn’t, it was just in consensus with post #2 by sparklite 2.
That’s true. Slang usage in literature just chafes me. That’s all. Maybe the word is no longer slang. Certainly published articles using it will help it along! Of course, I still get irritated by the fact that we can’t be bothered to use the word “cacti” as the plural of cactus.
