Earth Sciences & Geology (Science & Mathematics) - February 2007

maybe this question should be answered by scientists involved specifically with our planets evolution,and not ordinary citizens,
don't you think that global warming is part and parcel of our earth's evolution,after all it has gone through quite a few changes in the last few billion years?
going back to the ice age etc,will there be more volcanic activity in the next 30 or 40 years,when global warming is going finish all civilisation,its just the steady progression of evolution on this planet,nothing we can really do about it,i don't think switching of electrical goods and turning off standby controls will make any difference whatsoever,it's not human intervention that caused this,
just EVOLUTION that you cannot stop.....[watch this space]

Could there have been cracks in the earth in Lisbon itself during the great Lisbon earthquake of 1755?

There are eyewitness accounts of great holes opening up in the ground during that earthquake, but modern research seems to suggest that the epicentre was some distance away under the North Atlantic. Probably garbled accounts of the sea withdrawing during the tsunami?
