Geology Theory Confirmed

There was important news this week regarding the geology theory, "The Story Of Planet Earth", on the geology blog.

The following two paragraphs are the brief abstract that I use to introduce the theory.

Basically, the theory which reveals the explanation for so much of the major features of the earth's topography and the seafloor ridges is that the continents on earth came from three Continental Asteroids. Much debris from the Continental Asteroids was hurtled back into space, where it coalesced by gravity to form the moon. The idea of the moon forming in this way is not new, the asteroid is commonly referred to as "Theia", but my theory expands on it to include the continents as well. Each of the impacts of the Continental Asteroids unbalanced the earth's rotation, by the addition of the new mass, so that the earth's poles and equator underwent three shifts to regain rotational balance by centering one of the poles in the new additional landmass. The land mass from each Continental Asteroid was eventually broken up by tectonic activity, driven by the centrifugal force of the earth's rotation. The south pole is today in Antarctica because that was the core of a Continental Asteroid. A similar situation is seen on Mars, where the southern hemisphere is higher in elevation and thus heavier, than the northern hemisphere. But this does not upset the rotation of Mars because the south pole is in the center of the heavier hemisphere. What this means is that there have been four polar eras on earth, with the poles and equator in different places in each era. We are in the fourth polar era, after the Third Continental Asteroid. The First Polar Era was before the First Continental Asteroid.

The spin of the earth causes magma, hot molten rock, to emerge from below along the equator by centrifugal force. According to the laws of fluid dynamics, this equatorial emergence must then be balanced by periodic longitudinal lines of emergence in a perpendicular direction to the equator. Each time the poles and equator shifts, to regain rotational balance after the added mass of a Continental Asteroid, these lines of magma emergence must also shift, but magma emergence continues along old longitudinal and equatorial lines for a long time. This scenario explains just so much about the topography of the land and seafloor, and leaves few major features of the earth unexplained.

We know that much of the interior of the earth is hot, molten rock, known as magma. There is heat left over from the formation of the earth and the decay of radioactive elements inside the earth releases heat. But the magma was thought to be mostly deep inside the earth, occasionally released to the surface by volcanoes or able to seep between tectonic plates.

But my geology theory requires that there had been quite a bit of magma emergence, not necessarily all the way to the surface but close enough to shape the land above it. In my theory the spin of the earth would bring magma up along the equator by centrifugal force. This would create an imbalance that would also cause magma to emerge perpendicular to the equator, as longitudinal lines of emergence. I knew that the magma had to come from within the earth but didn't have a full explanation of where all that magma would come from.

This week the vindication of the theory came. It was in the news that a layer of magma has been found, about 150 km down, that exists across the entire earth. This is great news for the theory that was not known previously.
