Original Post February 14, 2014 Strange formations within a sandstone matrix are found throughout the Blue Mountains. Exactly what are sandstone and ironstone? The classic explanation is that they are both sedimentary rock, which means they are deposited in layers. In the Blue Mountains near Sydney, the sandstone layer is…
Apr 8, 2019 Scientific theories, which, at best, are only assumptions, can always be gazumped by observable facts. Down the east coast of Australia runs a 3500-kilometre-long mountain chain.The Great Dividing Range, as it is known, peaks at just over 1200 metres. Wollangambe Plateau is an area North of Katoomba…
Jun 5, 2017 The signs are all around us; signs that point to a different interpretation of the Earth’s geological history. Rather than vague theories that include millions of years magically appearing out of nowhere to explain what we see, we need only look at what is in front of…
Oct 5, 2015 Do we judge the solar system by what we see on Earth or do we look at the planets to see how the Earth was shaped? We have spent the last few hundred years exploring the Earth and are sure we know how things work here….
Feb 14, 2014 Strange formations within a sandstone matrix are found throughout the Blue Mountains. Exactly what are sandstone and ironstone? The classic explanation is that they are both sedimentary rock, which means they are deposited in layers. In the Blue Mountains near Sydney, the sandstone layer is around 600…
Nov 04, 2013 Understanding Earth’s geology is shaped by theories and ideas laid down over 300 years ago. Only four forces were known all those years ago: water, wind, volcanic and tectonic processes. It continues to be a fundamental premise in geology that it requires millions of years for…
Aug 21, 2013 When considering the topography of our planet, it is possible to look at it in different ways. The first consideration is that what is seen can be viewed with an assumption that it took millions or billions of years to form the current landscape. Second, considering…
Jul 24, 2013 When we look at the geology of our planet and how it is shaped, there are assumptions that govern our interpretation of the landscape that surrounds us. We have been told and taught that the only choices are wind, rain, and tectonic forces. We accept this…
Jan 24, 2012 In the consensus view, all valleys are caused by water erosion and solitary peaks must be volcanoes. The various peaks in the Glasshouse Mountains are supposed to be remnants of volcanoes that erupted eons ago, although there is no evidence of basalt, lava flows, or calderas that…
