Do you feel the drift? Is it possible for continental drift to happen much faster than most allow? Hear our groundbreaking podcast here (iTunes users here). Richard Moody who has a Masters degree in Geology (SUNY - Albany) believes that plates may move fast, up to 100 times current rates (~4cm/yr.).* We call this Rapid Plate Movements (RPM's).
Pioneer continental drift advocate Alfred Lothar Wegener
(d. 1930) had a Ph.D. in Astronomy (University of Berlin) and assumed that
Europe and North America were quite close to each other during the ice
age. Given the mainstream date that the
ice age ended 10K years ago, that comes out to plate movements of 1,500 feet
each year! RPM indeed.
James Head in a
paper in Nature, proposes that there
was a great flood on Venus and that it has experienced “rapid plate
tectonics.” Could the same RPM’s have
occurred on Earth?
Charles Hapgood who wrote Maps of the Ancient Sea Kings advocated catastrophic pole shifts
for the Earth. Hapgood’s work was the
basis for the disaster film 2012
directed by Roland Emmerich. Even
Stephen Jay Gould suggested that this theory deserves a fair hearing and should
not be dismissed out of hand. Can the
pole shift idea be rehabilitated by combining it with plate tectonics? Albert Einstein wrote the Foreword to
Hapgood’s book on pole shift and met him in 1955.
The New Yorker in
2015 had an article on how the Cascadia plate is likely to move coastal
Washington and Oregon about 100 feet in just minutes. Seattle and Portland could be destroyed. The likely 9.2 magnitude earthquake could be coming
to the Pacific Northwest soon. Shepard
Smith (FOX) dealt with this eminent danger in an interview with Michio Kaku.
Can you move as fast as Bruce Lee? Can you move as quick as the earth? Richard Oldham was a British geologist who
was the first to distinguish P-waves, S-waves and surface waves. His report on the 1897 Assam earthquake
described the Chedrang fault, with uplift up to 35 feet and ground movements
greater than Earth's own gravitational acceleration. Some ruptures may move as fast as 13K mph!
In the scifi film JapanSinks, the reality of Rapid Plate Movements (RPM's) was presented with great
dramatic style. It was long thought that
many geologic features took a long time to form. Now it is generally regarded that most strata
were made in a rapid, catastrophic fashion, such as turbidites. Why has the catastrophic paradigm not been
applied to plate tectonics? Go RPM's!
