Your Geology Textbook: Fact or Fiction?

Question

If you don't believe in a worldwide (Noah's) flood, then please provide an understandable explanation for seashells on mountain tops.

Answer 1

If you do believe in a worldwide flood, explain to me the remote possibility of a person building a ship so big as to fit 2 of every species.

I'll give you an explanation on yours - shifting plate tectonics.
Two plates that were moving collided and drove each other upward. Hold your arms horizontally and finger tips from one hand touching the finger tips of your other hand. Push finger tips together....notice how they poke upward or downward. Now imagine the seashell rests itself on the crack of the sea floor where in the future the mountains will poke out of the sea.

Answer 2

a million. Fiction - flair has to lose faster or later and WM Vs. Michaels is very nearly as good a time as any. flair is rattling close to retirement age because it really is, this stands out as the WWE's way of shifting him into yet another non-wrestling function. i'm confident it's going to be an excellent tournament. also i do not see Shawn dropping each 12 months at WM being a style they opt for to proceed. 2. reality - we've considered adequate of Cena hostile to both Orton & HHH. Heck we've considered adequate Cena with the call for a at the same time as. Orton getting a run with the belt instruments up some better suited matches contained in the destiny that we would no longer have considered already. HHH hasn't had the belt later on. I only imagine that Cena has restricted in ring skills and we've considered adequate of him contained in the WM important adventure. i'd truly seena Cena Vs Batista tournament or some thing like that. 3. reality - i will supply the guy credit, he's a difficult little dude. That stated, if he's not 100% bypass get healed up and are available again. There are already too many adult adult males wrestling harm and abusing soreness killers as a effect. it really is only a style that desires to offer up. i recognize it really is a difficult, demanding business enterprise, yet i'd truly see a guy who's extremely harm, preserve himself and are available again at the same time as he's better suited.

Answer 3

Because some mountains used to be at the bottom of the ocean before they were heaved by plate tectonics into mountains. Likewise, once tall mountains can be worn down over time into flat areas which could be flooded by an ocean.

Answer 4

50 billion years ago big lizards walked the earth and all of a sudden there was this big crash and it sent ashes up into the air ,when the smoke settled a little bitty lizard can out of the water and started to grow feet ,then he went back in the water and came out with a tail and started swinging on a tree ,while he swang he threw seashells up into the air and the wind blew them way up into the air and they started landing on moutian tops , and one day another lizard came out of the water and mated with the first one and they went back into the water and made little itty lizards and they all swam around turning into bigger and badder lizards ,some grew hands and feet and started walking the earth, Some even had tails and swang in trees , but the ones that walked took handfulls of shells with them wereever they went ,and thats how we got seashells so far in land , Sounds believable to me so that must be what happend

Answer 5

Total global warming caused the floods. Soon as global cooling began it slowly made the glaciers that contained all that water.

Answer 6

Geology textbooks are generally fairly accurate.

Answer 7

Continental drift. Those mountains used to be under water a long time ago.
