Earth - tectonics and geology

[mharratsc]

Woah! This is cool, Matt! Thanks for posting this!

This will be a very interesting little story to follow and watch develop, I think.

Yes Olly the river Murray apparently has two layers under it in what are described as ancestral rivers with aquefors. I suspect they in fact are the telluric currents . Other telluric currents I believe create gold veins whic are invariable ended with uranium veins . In other words transmutation of elemnets seems to of taken place .

Thats great to know Frank, thanks.

One of the things i have found and noticed is that the larger enclosed seas in europe like the black sea and the Mediterranean Sea have 2 layers of water varying in salinity but especially at the mouths. These 2 layers also especially at the mouths, very strangely, normally flow in the opposite direction.

If only it was an Electric Universe we lived in then you would be able to describe these as something like a double layer, a capacitor, a circuit etc.

Another puzzle that would perhaps show that surface rivers are in fact reliant on the subsurface river or perhaps telluric currents or electric earth is the mighty River Thames in England. The River Thames has supposedly been around for 100,000s of years and its course has changed so much its amazing. How has the river changed course so much yet kept flowing (if you believe the dates they suggest)?

Perhaps if the surface river is not the actual deciding factor of the rivers course this may explain it. Its sudden changes in courses over the years could reflect the great changes and catastrophes that have effected the earth. Each time the earth undergoes a sudden and dramatic change the electric circuits in the earth change to reflect this, we get a new climate and new river courses?

This could also explain all those ancient mighty rivers that were written about that have gone missing or dried up, much to the puzzlement of geologists.

I think you have mentioned it before or it was in one of your videos that the Aboriginals have tales of snake spirits flowing through the land and that is how the rivers were created? So if there are telluric currents or natural circuits underground then the discharge event or electromagnetic event or whatever they were would follow that.

Rifting

The opening and closing of ocean basins has had a dramatic influence on climate and biological evolution over Earth's history. These processes occur roughly every 500 million years, but how they're initiated—particularly in the case of continental rifting to form the seafloor of new ocean basins—remains enigmatic. To understand the beginning stages of continental rifting, Ligi et al. performed geophysical surveys and collected seafloor samples from aboard the R/V Urania in the Red Sea, which rests atop one of the most prominent modern continental rift zones. The Red Sea Rift is still in the process of rifting, so it includes a span of oceanic crust formed over the past two million years. The data suggest that new seafloor forms initially as an intense pulse of convection-driven mantle upwelling breaks through the continental crust, rapidly declining as convection of the mantle weakens with a widening rift. This process is pulling Africa apart from Arabia to form a new ocean, just as it may have contributed in the past to the breakup of supercontinents.

So what originates the "intense pulse ??


Lithospheric Thinning Beneath Rifted Regions of Southern California

ABSTRACT

The stretching and break-up of tectonic plates by rifting control the evolution of continents and oceans, but the processes by which lithosphere deforms and accommodates strain during rifting remain enigmatic. Using scattering of teleseismic shear waves beneath rifted zones and adjacent areas in Southern California, we resolve the lithosphere-asthenosphere boundary and lithospheric thickness variations to directly constrain this deformation. Substantial and laterally abrupt lithospheric thinning beneath rifted regions suggests efficient strain localization. In the Salton Trough, either the mantle lithosphere has experienced more thinning than the crust, or large volumes of new lithosphere have been created. Lack of a systematic offset between surface and deep lithospheric deformation rules out simple shear along throughgoing unidirectional shallow-dipping shear zones, but is consistent with symmetric extension of the lithosphere.

Sunken Islands

ravelling on the CSIRO vessel Southern Surveyor the scientists discovered the islands through detailed seafloor mapping and by dredging rock samples from the steep slopes of the two islands, now in water depths of over 1.5km.

"The sunken islands charted during the expedition have flat tops, which indicates they were once at sea level before being gradually submerged," said Dr Whittaker.

Collecting rocks from the abyss more than 1.5km below the surface was not easy, but the geologists managed to retrieve hundreds of kilograms and unexpectedly found rocks that showed the islands had not always been underwater.

Cretaceous period is debatable.
1.5 kilometer depth is impressive.

Today at 10:05AM Local (Eastern)

I have witnessed this several times over the years- including the events I discovered via a quick Google search HERE


This is a very real phenomenon, and was so pronounced this morning that my first thought was a serious explosion rumbling the ground in the distance. It shook the building I was in. I spoke to relatives immediately after that, and from clear across the county some 20 miles away they felt it at the same time.

Oddly, seismologists claim to detect nothing on their charts, which I find bizarre, for if some event that shakes an entire region of a state is invisible to their equipment, what good is it?

I got to thinking about the reading I've done here, on how electrically active the crust and core of the planet may well be, and posit this question to you: is there a chance that this effect is caused by subsurface lightning of some sort, or perhaps another geomagnetic/energetic phenomenon?

The fact that it has occurred for centuries eliminates the tinfoil hat military testing hypothesis.

I'm very interested to get your thoughts on this--

Kindest regards--

What are Seneca guns?
Ben Steelman
http://www.myreporter.com/?p=1275

... Although reported regularly at points up and down the Eastern Seaboard, Seneca guns seem particularly concentrated off the Carolinas. To date, no satisfactory scientific explanation for the phenomenon has been found. The name “Seneca Guns” seems to come from Seneca Lake in upstate New York, where the sounds are often heard. In 1850, James Fenimore Cooper (author of “Last of the Mohicans”) wrote a story, “The Lake Gun,” describing the phenomenon, which seems to have popularized the term.
... The “guns” seem connected to similar phenomena heard in different parts of the world, such as the “Barisal guns” in parts of India and Bangladesh, the “uminari” of Japan and the “mistpouffers” on the coast of the Netherlands and Belgium.
... On November 18, 2009 at 8:21 pm David Peacock wrote: Regarding the Seneca Guns, Hi, I’m a resident of Southport, and Boiling Spring lakes, NC. I have often heard the Seneca Guns down here. On one occasion back in the early 90′s i was working at the local Firestone garage in Southport. There at the garage, we had 3 large bay doors that we had closed due to the cooling weather. On that particular day we got hit with the Seneca Guns, three in a row. I remember seeing the doors literally move in and out due to the pressure of the wave. I realized then it was an atmospheric phenomena, literally a giant pressure wave. I have also noticed when they hit, it is almost always a day when the humidity is relatively low for that time of year. Anyway thank you for the article. I enjoyed reading it. Regards, David peacock

Sounds like the reporter is vaguely and unknowingly is describing where giant thunderbolts discharged. Then,
just like the captured lightning in arcylic blocks spontaneously re-discharging 20 minutes later, scaled up to a planet
2000 years later.
Allthough unlike the acrylic blocks, the Earth is under constant 'bombardment' from the Sun. The acrylic block would seem to be the upper atmosphere and the Earth.

[ElecGeekMom]

Do they tend to happen at a particular time of day? time of year? time in the solar cycle?

[MattEU]

do the areas of open water have a sudden and unexplained rise in level before, during or after these events?

[phyllotaxis]

I've never read of any water events coincident to the effect, nor am I familiar to any common time- aside from my recollection it has been daytime every time I've read of it and experienced it.

[Sparky]

These describe sonic booms, don't they?

Pre Mach 1 history, maybe meteorites or clear atmosphere lightning/thunder?

[phyllotaxis]

Perhaps- though I would expect that such phenomenon would occur in other places too, as opposed to the seemingly few places it is recorded...

Such a strange thing--
