General Condition of the Earth


The uniformitarian geological forces acting on the landscape of the earth are considered to be:
  1. Erosion – the forces of water and wind working aggressively with gravity to wear the surface of the earth down the lowest possible point.
  2. Volcanism – the process of upwelling material, placing it on top of the lithosphere and locally adding to the landscape.
  3. Uplift and subsidence – complementing processes where, due to currents below the crust, which drop or elevate areas of land.
  4. Tectonic – a composite of numbers 2 and 3, where the crust is effectively moved, rotated, subducted, crushed and raised on a plate level.
  5. Gravity – last on the list, but probably most important. Gravity demands that the earths surface be spherical, or near so.
The authors suggest that the world should be flat, or at least much flatter than it presents itself today. The uniformitarian geological forces presented above should, left to their own nature, present an earth with little deviation from “sea level”. The uplifting forces would offer some landscape, say in the Andes, the Himalayas, the Alps, etc on plate collision boundaries and subduction zones.

Below sea level, we expect to see the slight rises representing mid-ocean spreading (and then there is Iceland, where it is ‘spreading” above sea level), and the deep trenches where one plate is being driven down beneath another. Hot spots in the mantle would produce island chains or random volcanoes. That’s it; or should be.

Glaciers

The present-day world presents numerous examples of glaciers and the landforms and deposits currently being created by this mechanism. In the 15,000 years, these earth-moving engines have been held responsible for a great deal of landform genesis and climatic changes. The hypothesis suggest that much of the geomorphism that currently is ascribed to glaciers would be better described as Perigee Zero ejecta and crater structures.

The continent of Australia represents broad areas of landscape which appear to be ground down mountain ranges. Significantly absent are traces of significant erosional channels. These ranges were shaved to the roots without the aid of flowing water. Are they the result of glaciers, or could a Perigee: Zero impact & hydraulic scouring event be causal?

Further, the significant ocean-level rise ascribed to the end of the Wisconsin Ice age 10,000 years ago is seen by the hypothesis to be the result of water accretion from a mega swarm of cometary impacts over a 400-year window at the beginning of the Holocene era.

Perigee: Zero crater formations are also uniquely visualized through the photographic record. We suggest that the characteristic scrubbing of basement rock is easily resolved using these tools.

Given an alternative explanation for the hydration event, the existence of massive glaciers over the North America continent is no longer required.

Continental Dynamics

Recently, the National Science Foundation has opened a competition of grants to explore the concept of “Continental Dynamics” (CD). The program’s description is that while tectonic theory adequately explains the processes involved in creating much of the “basement” geology of our world,

… the geological, geophysical, and geochemical structure and evolution of the continents is still not clearly understood nor can the processes that control continental phenomena always be confidently placed within the plate tectonic theory.

We suggest that some of the processes the NFS is searching for are explained by the Perigee: Zero theory of cratering and ejecta blankets.


Geologic Anomalies Explored

We propose solutions to a number of enigmatic problems. In each of these we find correlating details that are highly supportive of the hypothesis.

    Uluru - Kata Tjuta National Park was first listed as a World Heritage properties in 1987 for two natural criteria:
    • an outstanding example representing significant ongoing geological processes, biological evolution and man's interaction with his natural environment, and
    • contains unique, rare or superlative natural phenomena, formations or features or areas of exceptional natural beauty, such as superlative examples of most important ecosystems to man, natural features, sweeping vistas covered by natural vegetation and exceptional combinations of natural or cultural elements.
