(5,764 posts)186. SUCH THINGS LEAVE FREAKING EVIDENCE
If you split the planet open, which is what is necessary to produce the effect you're looking for, that leaves teeny tiny little indicators behind. Like a split open freaking planet. The planet DID NOT crack open in recent human history. Period. Claiming otherwise is purely insane.
And to even consider it is ridiculous cause you know how much energy it takes and you know how much energy is in the hydrates at the bottom of the sea....and it ain't what the geologists say is there or there is no real energy formed by hydrates formed under the tremendous pressures at the bottom of the sea....and that when it out gasses it does not expand the volume of the liquid like basic hi school physics are teaching kids...
In other words, you didn't read one damn word I just typed in that last post. Not one. Instead of dealing with a single fucking thing I said you went off on a rant about a bunch of things that had nothing to do with what I said.
"it ain't what the geologists say is there". Yes, it IS what they say is there. what they say is there is NOT what YOU say is there. Get it?
"there is no real energy formed by hydrates under pressure". Yes, there IS energy formed by hydrates under pressure. But not enough to produce the crazy impossible tsunami you claim happened. Understand?
Etc...
And yes Japan is a tiny island. We're talking about global scales remember? Japan covers a whopping 0.07% of the earth's surface. And only one fraction of the shoreline of that tiny island was impacted by a tsunami that took the equivalent of 900 times the power of the combined global nuclear arsenal being let off 70 measly kilometers away to create.
And if that crust rented and magma flowed out of the cracks and onto a bed of methane hydrates a hundred feet thick I ca assure you there would come a plume of gas and water along with parts of the sea floor that would shoot into the atmosphere...and it wold last for days...and that out gassing would expand the watter...
Yep, yep, yep... and leaving aside the fact that we know none of that happened through this little thing called geology all of that WOULD NOT PRODUCE A MASSIVE GLOBE COVERING TSUNAMI ANYWAY SO WHO FREAKING CARES?!?!?!? You realize that the REASON tsunamis happen is because earthquakes happen violently and INSTANTLY right? Slow events that last for days do not produce tsunamis, which are sudden massive high energy IMPULSES being transmitted through the water. What produces the tsunami is the *jolt*. You don't even know what a tsunami is do you? You've been talking about them for dozens of posts and you don't know what they are.
You have no idea about *any* of this.
Now I asked you a several questions about your little theory and you've been constantly avoiding them.
1. How does a tsunami sort material in this pattern:
Top: Limestone Layer
Sandstone Layer
Another Sandstone Layer (#2)
Shale Layer
ANOTHER Sandstone Layer (#3)
ANOTHER Shale Layer (#2)
Sand/Conglomorates Layer
ANOTHER Limestone Layer (#2)
ANOTHER DIFFERENT Limestone Layer (#3)
YET ANOTHER Different Limestone Layer (#4)
ANOTHER Shale Layer (#3)
ANOTHER Sandstone Layer (#4)
ANOTHER Sandstone Layer (#5)
A Quartzite Layer
ANOTHER Shale Layer (#4)
ANOTHER Limestone Layer (#5)
2. How does a tsunami sort material into that pattern AND sort the material embedded in the layers by their radioisotope content?
3. How does a tsunami do that AND sort the fossils in the layers by their morphology instead of by their size and density?
And 4... HOW MUCH METHANE ARE YOU CLAIMING WAS RELEASED?
You have nothing and you know it.
Your little theory can't explain any of the data and you know it.
You can't answer these basic fundamental questions and you know it.

So if you have no evidence to support that hypothesis, why do you hold it to be true?
