Is it possible that any material that might have been "duned" into mountains could have come from, not another planet, but from elsewhere on this planet?
Whenever I look at the loops of magnetism on the sun, I always wonder if they are picking up substance from one end of the loop and depositing it at the other end of the loop.
The other "wild and crazy" idea that I've had lately is to wonder, if and when the next planet-wide magnetic reversal takes place, is it possible that there will be massive disassociation of the materials that make up the planet, and then a re-conglomeration of them after they have been "shaken and stirred"?
I got that idea from the phenomenon of liquefaction that can happen to soil during earthquakes.
If the electromagnetic gravity (or whatever it is that holds things together), when disrupted, allows their parts to break apart, then could that happen at a planetary level?
And what would it take to cause a planetary-level disruption like that?
Hi EGM,
I believe legend has mountains on Earth being blown to dust. There appears to be some areas of removal. Hudson Bay might be an example of removal. Meteor crater might have blasted dust into the atmosphere. The link below shows an area in Namibia that might be the result of surface removal.

But a comet the size of Venus might have a great deal of material in it's coma. This is what Dr Velikovsky proposed. If there were diocotron instabilities between Venus and Earth during close encounters, the dust from the coma might have been attracted and sorted from thousands of miles in space. It appears to me that areas of dry land were coated by material from above. It seems reasonable that material from the surface of Earth might have contributed to the worldwide plague of darkness. Mars is also a candidate for coating the surface of Earth. But comets seem to produce dust from electrical erosion. During a close encounter with Earth/Venus, the surface of Mars may have also have been electrically eroded, producing dust. Certainty concerning the exact details seems problematic.
