INTRODUCTION
The Fossils of trilobites an ancient marine insect which lived on sea
floor before five hundred million years, but now found on all the seven
continents especially on mountains which indicates that all the continents
had once been under the ocean and now rose to the present height.
1. TRILOBITE FOSSILS The sea organisms which lived in shallow
sea water get buried alive when there is a land slide along with soil and
wet mud. Later when this portion of the shore rises up above sea level,
these buried insects after millions of years would have become fossils.
The continuous process of rising of mountains from below the sea enables
us to find the fossils of the sea organisms in rocks found on mountains.
While the mountains continue to rise, the surrounding areas experience
landslides and this in turn exposes the fossils of the embedded sea
organisms.
The fossils of Trilobite have been found on the mountains of all the seven
continents of the world and in more than thirty places on earth. This
clearly shows that these mountains and continents have surfaced from below
the sea.*[1] To be specific, thousands of fossils of Trilobite are found
on the three continents surrounding the Pacific Ocean . The continent of
North America is situated on the eastern side of the Pacific Ocean .
Burgess quarry which is situated on the Rocky Mountain in British Columbia
, there are about 30, 000 fossils of Trilobite are found on the exposed
slate. This place is about 500 miles away from the Pacific Ocean and at
8000 feet high above the sea level.
On the western side of the Pacific Ocean, the continent of Asia is
situated. In the chengjiang district of China recently numerous buried
fossils of Trilobite have been discovered on the mountain regions. This
mountain region is 350 miles away from the sea and 6200 feet above sea
level.*[2]
Recently marine fossils have also been discovered in the land locked
Sichuan region where the huge earthquake rocked.*[3] On the southern
region of the Pacific Ocean, the continent of Australia is located. On the
southern side of this continent, Adelaide Harbor is situated. On Ediyacara
Mountain which is 650 kilometers on the northern side also fossils of
Trilobite have been found.. This mountain region is 1900 feet above sea
level. The three places, where the buried fossils of Trilobite were found
lie around the Pacific Ocean and are hundreds of miles away and thousands
of feet higher than sea level which clearly shows that all these land
surfaces have risen from the depth of the Pacific Ocean .
An important feature to be noted is that all the land lies on one side and
the Pacific Ocean on the other side. The total area of the Pacific Ocean
is 5.9 million square miles. This is more than the area of all the land on
the earth put together. The Pacific Ocean is connected with
all the other oceans of the earth. Three fourths of water and one fourth
of land is what we see on the earth. Hence, as the land rose gradually,
the remains of sea animals are found on the mountains.
The fossils of a sea animal called Trilobite which lived 500 million years
ago under water have been unearthed on the mountains all over the earth.
This proves that millions of years ago, all these mountains were under the
sea and have gradually risen above sea level.

How do
fossils form? In the case of the fossils of Trilobite found
on mountains, there is no reason to state that the seas would have
receded from the mountains. It is because, when the land rises
suddenly, land slides are caused and the sea organisms get buried in
the mud and slush and when this rises above sea level, due course they
become fossils. Hence there is no question of sea receding and
exposing the remains and fossils. The real reason for the fossils of
Trilobite to be found on the mountains is that, the mountains which
were under the sea have risen above the sea level. |
Therefore the fossils of the sea arthropod Trilobite are found on
the seven continents of the world, it is proved that all the seven
continents were once under the sea and have risen above sea level.
(2).Dinosaurs fossils Challenge Drifting
Continents Theory
The mesosaurus fossils mystery
South America and Africa are separated by the Atlantic Ocean . But,
in both these continents the bones of a giant sized lizard,
Mesosaurs which was a land animal found. Based on this fact, Albert
Wagener, a meteorologist raised a question as to how the same type
of animal could be found in different continents when they are
separated by oceans? and concluded that previously they should have
been one single continent. but in the dinosaurus time land
connection existed between the continents due to low sea level
through which the animals migrated from one continent to other
continent. later the rising of sea level seperated the continents.
for example In the Bering Strait which separates North America from
Russia ’s Siberia , a land connection served as a bridge of land for
all animals like woolly mammoth, wild buffaloes, lions, bears
rabbits and cave men.
To support this theory, in Siberia, in the Yana river valley, the
Stone Age tools used by man and numerous bones of animals were
found. Like this land bridge which is known as Beringia there should
have been many land bridges between continents , through which the
dinosaurs would have moved and spread. Researchers said that other
than this it was not possible for the continents to move Wagener
refused to believe the concept about land bridges but argued that
continents are moving. 200 million years ago, a huge continent named
Pangaea got divided in to two continents called Laurasia and
Gondwana. 150 million years ago the continent Gondwana broke in to
many pieces and formed South America, Africa, Australia and India .
Among this, India moved in a north eastern direction, crossed the
equator 45 million years ago and collided with the continent Asia .
On account of this, the Himalayas were formed. Wagener also said
that this was cause for the earthquakes to occur there. The giant
lizards which were said to be as evidence for Wagener‘s concept of
moving continents have today become the opposing features.
palaeontologist unearthed fossils of 95 million year old dinosaurus
named as Rugops primus in africa which closely related South
American and Indian dinosaurus.*(4)
|
Professor Paul Sereno of the University of
Chicago who conducted the excavation has said, “We cannot get the closely
related species without transport”. *(5)
The problem here is that according to Pangaea’s concept, all these
continents got separated 150 million years ago and have been isolated by
the seas and oceans. So, the question now is that, how a species which
evolved after the separation of continents spread to other continents? to
solve this problem the researchers who believe the drifting continents
concept has now offer a new explanation. recently researchers believe that
the Gondwana an imaginary super continent splited,perhaps as early as 120
million years ago instead of 150 million years cherished by wegenor. |
|
But after the discovery 95 million year old dinosaurus bones in africa ,
now the researchers have explained that, the continent Gondwana should
have got separated at a later stage about 100 million years ago, and even
after that there should have been many temporary land bridges between the
drifting continents, for a longer period of time, through which the
dinosaurs would have traveled to and fro.*(6)
But the discovery of 65 million years old dinosaurus fossils in india
named as rajasaurus narmadensis also closely resembled the dinosaurus
fosslils of the South America Africa and Madagascar.*(7), According to the
Pangaea concept, India was an island continent 65 million years ago.
Dinosaurs which evolved during that period and lived in the other parts of
the world had no opportunity to enter India ..It was because, India was
surrounded by sea. But, the skeletons of dinosaurs have been found in
India. Therefore India had never been an island continent. It is proved
that as at present; it had joined Asia . On account of this problem
Professor Jeffery Wilson of the University of Michigan has said, “The
statement that India had moved has not been substantiated with direction
and time.*(8)
But, Paleontologists have said that, fifty million years ago
that is even before Mount Everest came into being , dinosaurs
like Rajasaurus had entered India. therefore it is proved
that India had always been part of the continent, Asia . Dinosaurs
have lived in Antarctica and Australia . Similar to the land
bridge which was formed in Bering Strait area due to the rising
of the land which made the sea recede and paved way for animals
to move from one continent to another. Hence, the continents
did not move; it is only the animals which moved from one
place to another.
If continents do not move, how do earthquakes occur? Earthquakes occur
only due to the rising of the land from below the sea to above the sea
level. The fossils of sea animals that are found on thousands of feet high
mountains including the Everest are the best examples for this. Apart from
the rising of land low sea level is also a reason for the presence of
fossils of same kind of animals on different continents which has been
separated by Wide Ocean .
(3) Forty thousand years ago, the sea level was about four thousand feet
lower than it is now. Did Stone Age people undertake Sea
Voyage?
Sandwiched between the continents of Asia and Australia , islands of
Sumatra, Java, Bali, Lombok, Sumbawa, Flores , Timor etc. are situated in
a long strip. The caves of the island of Flores were inhabited by 3-foot
dwarfish Stone Age humans, perhaps as early as 1..8 million years ago,
whose bones and the stone tools used by them have been unearthed by the
archeologists of Australia during an excavation.*[9]
The bones of the Stone Age humans who lived forty thousand years ago in
this region, have already been unearthed by the researchers from Timor
Island situated near the island continent of Australia . It is not an easy
task to reach the islands of Flores and Timor. Specifically, the islands
of Sumbawa, Flores and Timor are found in the ocean region which has a
depth of four thousand feet.
Lombok Island in particular, is thirty kilometers away from the island of
Bali . A dangerous strait called “Sape” is running between these two
islands. Hence, ships with sails and motor boats alone can cross this sea
strait. This has given rise to controversies and arguments among the
scientists as to how the Stone Age man could have crossed this dangerous
region between the Flores and Timor islands.
The bones and tools of Stone Age people have been unearthed in India and
Sri Lanka which are separated by a six hundred feet deep sea. Researchers
are of the opinion that, ten thousand years ago, when the sea level was
six hundred feet lower than the present level, Stone Age people should
have migrated from India to Sri Lanka .
Researchers believe that later the ice which was above the land should
have melted and raised the level of the sea level for about six hundred
feet. But it is a surprise that how the Stone Age people went to Flores
Timor islands and the continent of Australia , which have been separated
by a four thousand feet deep sea. Researcher Tim White says that, Stone
Age dwarf people might have been brought from Bali Island to Flores Island
by Tsunami waves.
But researcher Robert Bednarik says that the currents that are running
between the Indonesian islands can only be crossed over by boats made of
wood like catamarans using oars. He not only said this, but also tests his
idea by traveling from Bali Island to Lombok Island a few times. This
voyage in catamarans was made into documentaries by BBC News Channel and
National Geographic Channel. *[10]
The catamaran should be made by stone tools was the prime condition. But,
when bamboos were cut by these stone tools, they developed cracks. If a
catamaran was made with such bamboos, instead of floating it would sink in
the sea. Hence, this important condition was overlooked and the catamaran
was made by using iron tools. *!11) In the same way, using stones, it was
impossible to make even a single oar. even after rowing continuously for
twelve hours, the idea of reaching Lombok Island did not succeed.
How could have Stone Age people crossed the sea which was not possible
even by the present day men?
Referring to this, researcher Loin Davidson says that from the past two
and a half lakh years to seventy thousand years, there has not been a
large change in the stone tools that have been used by the Stone Age men.
They seem to be similar. Hence, the intelligence level in these men might
not have undergone much of a change. This proves that the Stone Age men
would not have planned long sea voyages using their limited intelligence,
says Davidson. *[12]
Moreover, the continent of Australia is thousand kilometers
away from Timor Island and is not visible from Timor Island
. Hence, would the Stone Age men venture a sea voyage towards
a destination that was not visible? In addition to this, it
took six days for the Robert Bednarik group to cross the deep
sea between Timor Island and the continent of Australia .
Would the Stone Age men have ventured a similar day and night
sea voyage? What would they have done for food and water for
six days?
“Barbarians did not undertake any sea voyages. It was the sea that was
four thousand feet lower at that time?’ Hence, the finding of bones and
stone tools of Stone Age men who lived forty thousand years ago in the
continent of Australia, which was separated from the continent of Asia by
a four thousand feet deep sea, proves that forty thousand years ago, the
sea level was about four thousand feet lower in the Indonesian region.
Hence, forty thousand year ago, a land connected the continent of Asia and
the continent of Australia . Through this strip of land, the Stone Age
people of the continent of Asia went by foot to the continent of Australia
. Later, when the sea level rose, the land also split in different places
and rose up along with the rising sea which resulted in the formation of
many islands. On account of this, the Stone Age men were unable to leave
the islands and were isolated there.
Why did the land rise? Why did the sea level rise?
The molted rock
material found inside the earth gradually cooled down and
hardened to form rocky plates in different layers. On account
of this phenomenon, water, gases and oil were separated from
the molten rock which reduced the thickness of the rocky plates.
As the thinner rocky plates formed from the thick molten rock
moved upwards, the land surface also rose. At the same time,
while the molten rock cooled, the water which was separated
from it, formed hot water springs under the sea, which raised
the sea level up to four thousand feet. When the land surface
rises suddenly from the sea floor, natural disasters like
earthquakes, landslides and Tsunami are caused.
(4)Twenty million years ago, the sea level had been ten thousand five
hundred feet lower than it is now.
In1835, Charles Darwin, a
scientist visited the Galapagos Island which is situated about thousand
kilometers from South America in the Pacific Ocean . On the island, he saw
a number of giant tortoises. He was surprised as to how these creatures
came to that island. It was because each tortoise weighed two hundred and
fifty kilos and looked like rocks. They would be unable to float on water
even for a second.
Researchers are of the opinion that these tortoises could have climbed on
the branches which were carried away by sudden floods in the river and
forced them into the sea. They would have traveled for about two weeks and
reached the island. But, the branches will not float in a manner suggested
by them. They usually keep turning and rolling. These tortoises have no
toes and their legs resemble that of the elephants’. Hence, it would not
have been possible for them to travel without rolling and falling into the
sea when the branches were rolling and tossing.
The important question is how they survived for two weeks without food and
water. Researchers say that sufficient fats and water were stored in their
body which would have helped them to live without food for two weeks. But,
Trevor Worth, a research scientist found the jaw bone and the thigh bones
of a rat like animal which could have lived nineteen million years ago in
New Zealand, a place two thousand kilo meters away from the continent of
Australia.
Michael Archer, an paleontologist is of the opinion that as the upper part
of the thigh bone is broader than the lower part, this animal would have
been hopping and moving and would not have been able to travel on a
floating branch to reach the island. *[13] Researchers say that traveling
to Galapagos which is nearly thousand kilometers from South America on a
floating branch would take two weeks for the tortoises to reach there.
When this is the case, to reach New Zealand which is in Australia about
two thousand kilometers away by traveling on a floating branch will take a
minimum four weeks. Could a small rat like animal have survived without
food and particularly water, for such a long period? To be specific, the
island of New Zealand is situated in a place where the sea is of ten
thousand feet depth. So, as the sea level had been ten thousand feet
lower, there had been some connection between the continents and using
this, these animals must have reached here from the continents by way of
walking. Later on the sea level could have risen. Moreover, bones of
dinosaurs have been unearthed in the island Chatham , *[14] which is close
to New Zealand . As the sea level had been ten thousand feet lower, even
dinosaurs could have migrated from continent to continent.
Instead of this, researchers say that all the continents were together
before and then slowly moved away from each other is incorrect. The reason
for the rising of the sea level about ten thousand feet high is the
continuous flow of water from hot water springs found under the sea.
The molten rock found under the crust of the earth gradually cools and
hardens to form rocky plates. The water which is eliminated during this
process only comes out through hot water springs. As the water gets
separated from the dense molten rock, it gets converted into rocky plates
which are of lesser density and these start rising upwards there by making
the continents also to rise. When the rocky plates in a particular area
rise like this, they rub against the adjacent plates and this only results
in an earth quake in that area.
“Only the rising of the rocky plates causes earth quakes”
(5,)Animals on remote island indicates ancient low sea level..
Chameleons are animals which originated twenty million of years ago.
Chameleons cannot swim. But, they are found not only in the continent of
Africa, but also in the islands of the Indian Ocean such as Madagascar ,
Seychelles and Comoros . These islands are situated at a depth of ten
thousand five hundred feet (two miles) in the sea. Hence, twenty million
years ago, as the sea was ten thousand five hundred feet (two miles) lower
than it is now, from the continent of Africa, chameleons spread by way of
land to Madagascar , Sussex and Comoros which are islands formed by
volcanoes. In the same way, in many islands found in the middle of the
sea, frogs, lizards and snails which cannot swim in the sea are found and
this proves the fact that, twenty million years before the sea was ten
thousand five hundred feet (two miles) lower than it is now.
Lizards and frogs.
As frogs live both on land and water, they are known as ‘amphibians.’ But
frogs mostly spend their life time near water bodies. The main reason for
this is, the first life which originated in the sea had to undergo a lot
of evolutionary changes.
Frogs were breathing with the help of gills in the tadpole stage but,
developed lungs in due course to lead a terrestrial life. But, the reason
for frogs to live near water bodies is that, unlike snakes and lizards,
frog’s eggs are smooth and slimy and are laid in shallow waters. If these
eggs were exposed to wind or sunlight for a long time the water content in
them will get evaporated and the embryo in the eggs will die.
Similarly, the skin of the frog is very thin and moist and so the frog
always avoids windy and sunny places. Hence, frogs come out during rainy
season and reproduce. The most important thing to be noted is that the
frog cannot survive in sea water. It is because, when the excess salt from
the sea water gets into its body, the frog will die. Under these
circumstances, the reason for the presence of frogs on islands is that,
twenty million years ago the sea level was two miles lower than it is now.
When compared to frogs, we can say that lizards are a slightly advanced
group of animals because they lay eggs which are protected by shells.
Hence there is no necessity for the eggs to be laid in the water or near
water. Moreover the body of lizards and garden lizards are covered with
dry scales. This prevents the water in the body from being evaporated. So
these animals have spread out far from water bodies.
The toes of lizards and garden lizards are capable of holding
on to the branches of trees but are not designed to swim.
So, the reason for wild lizards and garden lizards to live
on many islands is that the sea level was two miles lower,
twenty million of years ago. It is not possible to say that
man would have taken them there, because on each island, the
wild lizards are of different kinds. Likewise, after millions
of years new species will evolve.
Hence, as the lizards and frogs are different from each other, it clearly
shows that before man could inhabit those islands, these animals have gone
there. So, the reason for wild lizards and frogs which cannot swim to live
on many islands in the middle of the sea is that, the sea level was two
miles lower, twenty million years ago.
Amber snails on Hawaii Island
On one side of the spherical earth, continents are situated
and the other side comprises of the Pacific Ocean . Surrounding
the Pacific Ocean, the continents of North America, South
America, Asia and Australia are found. The volcanic island
of Hawaii is situated in the central part of the Pacific Ocean
, more than two thousand kilo meters away from these land
areas. But the amber snails which are in the color of amber
and found in North America, South America, Asia and Australia
are found on this island too. Definitely these amber snails
could not have reached the volcanic island of Hawaii situated
in the central part of the Pacific Ocean , more than two thousand
kilo meters away from these land areas by wind or water currents.
Hence, these amber snails also prove that the Pacific Ocean
had been lower before.
(6)The Ice age myth
Similarly, ice age is mentioned as a reason for the rising of the sea
level. It is believed that 12,000 years ago most of the land was covered
by layers of ice and snow and later when it melted and flowed into the
sea, the level of the sea rose.
The reason for the occurrence of ice age was believed to be the changes
that took place on the orbit of the earth. When the earth moved a little
away from the sun and revolved around it, the temperature decreased and
layers of ice were formed and when the earth moved closer to the sun and
revolved, the temperature rose and this resulted in the melting of the
layers of ice.
The contradiction is that, when the earth moves away from the sun and the
temperature falls, the evaporation of sea water will also be reduced. So,
the water which is already on land will only turn to ice. Similarly when
the earth moves closer to the sun, the temperature will rise and at the
same time, both the melting of ice as well as the evaporation of sea water
will take place simultaneously and so, no noticeable change will take
place in the level of the sea.
So, ice age is just an imaginary theory. so the melting of ice is not the
reason for the rising of sea level in large scale.
(7)From where did the sea water originate?
Hence, ice age is not the reason for the sea to be two thousand feet low
at a point of time and later rise upwards. In fact, thousands of hot water
springs which are under the sea and letting out?
Hydrothermal vent Water even today is only responsible for the rise in the
sea level.
(8) A submerged continent discovered under the Indian Ocean
(under two kilometer from the sea surface indicate the rising of sea
level)
An American researchers
haves discovered a submerged continent, at a depth of two kilo meters, in
the southern part of the Indian Ocean .*[15] The volcanic island,
Kerguelen is found near the continent of Antarctica, seven thousand kilo
meters away on the southern tip of India .
This island was discovered in 1772, by a French sailor named Kerguelen.
Hence this island is named after him. As seals are found in abundance
surrounding this island, only seal hunters were using this island. At
times researchers also visited the island and conducted researches.
Though this island is situated at the extreme end of the Indian
Ocean and nearer to the continent of Antarctica, the flora
found in this island is similar to that found in the continent
of South America which had been a puzzle for a long time.
This puzzle is solved now.
The submerged continent
The island, Kerguelen and the surrounding three hundred tiny islands are
situated on a plateau which is two kilometers below sea level. On the
center of this submerged plateau, volcanic lava has flowed and cooled to
form fossils in which the burnt parts of trees, seeds and pollen grains
were found by researchers. Moreover researchers have found that these
fossils were formed twenty million years ago.
Based on these findings, researchers have discovered that twenty million
years ago this plateau had been above the sea level as a continent with
dense forests. Twenty million years ago, when the sea level was two
kilometers lower, there had been land connecting the continents and pieces
of land which islands are at present. Through this connecting land,
animals like the Dinosaur and the flora had spread from one continent to
another and also the islands.
On account of this, the flora found on the island of Kerguelen is similar
to those found on the continent of South America . Later, the sea rose up
to two kilometers. This rise in the level of the sea resulted in the
submerging of the continent which was once above the sea level. This
continent which is three times larger in area than Japan is named by
researchers as the Continent of Kerguelen.
What is the reason for
the rising of sea level up to two kilometers high?
There are thousands of hot water springs below the sea. Through these
springs, water from the interior of the earth is pushed out and
continuously mixing with the sea. This water is formed when the molten
rock from deep earth cools down and hardens to form rocky plates.. This
water is known as “Molten Rock Water”. The water separated from the molten
rock is expelled through the hot water springs and gets mixed with the
sea, resulting in the rise of the sea level. When the sea rose two
kilometers high, many islands and plateaus were submerged in the sea.
For example, researchers have discovered three volcanoes in the Pacific
Ocean which were submerged two thousand feet deep in the western side of
North America . The research conducted with the help of deep sea robots
showed that the rocks eroded by waves, caves formed in the rocks by waves
and pebbles were found near the under sea volcanoes.
Moreover, through research we come to know that due to the action of the
wind on the volcanic lava, once upon a time, these rocks must have been
thrown on the land which was situated above the sea level. Hence, the
researchers are of the opinion that the volcanoes which are now submerged
two thousand feet below the sea level had been in the past beautiful
islands with seashores above the sea level. This submerged volcanoes
proved that twenty million years ago, the sea level had been lower than it
is at present.
(9) Islands are rising
The mystery of missing water
I will disclose another important matter. In the year 1990, environmental
scientists released a very important report. In that they had stated that
the atmosphere is heated too much and so the glaciers are melting and due
to this action, within ten years the sea level will rise. They warned that
when this happens, all the nine tiny islands like Tuvalu and Vanuatu will
get submerged in the sea. Immediately, the President of Tuvalu which is in
the Pacific Ocean wrote a letter to the president of New Zealand . He had
stated that as per the calculations of the environmentalists, their island
will get submerged in ten years time and in case such an event takes
place, shelter has to be provided on compassionate grounds to the
inhabitants of the island as environmental refugees.
Ten years passed but, no island sank! At the same time, the
scientists of NASA had found out through research that in
the polar region, ice has melted and fifty billion tons of
water had mixed with the sea. Though enormous amount of water
flowed into the sea why the islands did not sink? Interestingly,
when the level of sea was checked near the islands, the sea
level was found to be two and a half inches lower than before.*[16]
This incident clearly shows us that the islands are rising.
(10)Sea caves indicate that the continents are rising.
On all the continents found on earth, caves are seen on the sea shore. To
be specific, surrounding the continent Europe , there are numerous sea
caves. These sea caves are formed due to the erosion caused by the sea.
The roofs of caves thus formed are 20 or 30 feet above sea level.
Small ships can travel through most of the caves. How could have the roofs
of caves which were formed due to the erosion by the sea have gone up to
such a height? Many sea caves are found on the sea shore many hundreds of
feet away from the sea and many feet high from the sea level. Many sea
caves are also found dry without water. All these caves, the islands on
which they are situated, the land surfaces and the continents show us
clearly that the land is continuously rising from the sea. They say that
when two land surfaces collide with each other, mountain ranges are
formed. But, the Crete mountain region shows clearly that it did not form
by the collision of a land.
The Australian continent is rising
Robert backer is a research scholar in the New England University of
Australia .Every Sunday to take rest, he used to visit the Sydney Harbor
where he once played and enjoyed with his friends when he was young.
Incidentally one day, on the rocks he saw many nests made of lime and
those resembled the nests of wasps. These nests were the nests of
tubeworms which live in the sea. But, seeing it at such a height was
something abnormal. The nests were about 7 feet above sea level where much
erosion had not occurred.*[17]
These tubeworms need to be in water for at least six hours for survival.
Under these circumstances, what could be the reason for the nests being
built 7 feet above sea water level? Backer was able to arrive at only one
explanation. That is, the sea level in Sydney harbor has decreased by
seven feet. And this must have taken place recently. If it had happened
long before, the nests would have been eroded to a greater extent.
Immediately he conveyed the information to Professor Peter flood and Dr.
Bob Haworth and they decided to conduct an elaborate research.
Subsequently, they went to the island New Caledonia which is 600 miles
away from Australia and searched for the nests of the tubeworms.
Curiously, there also they found the tubeworms’ nests at a height where
the sea waves could not touch them.
Next, in island of Madagascar found near Africa in the Indian
Ocean, in South Corona on the border of North American sea
shore, and in South America on the sea shore of Brazil, they
found the insects’ nests at a height above the sea level and
based on their findings of 8 years, they finally announced
that the sea level has fall down up to seven feet around the
world.*[18] But, they did not reveal why it has dropped. Where
did all the sea water go? What happened to it? There was no
explanation for these. It is more than three billion years
since the seas were formed. It is not possible for the sea
to reduce its level throughout the world. So, only the continents
have risen. This is the reason for the insects’ nests seen
at a height above the sea level.
The South American Continent is rising.
Similar to the finding of fossils in the deserts, huge deposits of salt is
also found. The largest salt deposit of the world has been discovered in
the desert region of Uyuni which is situated on the south western side of
Bolivia in South America . This salt desert is of an area of 4600 square
miles. Ten billion tons (1 billion = 100 crores) of salt is found
here.*[19]
This place is situated 11 thousand feet high from sea level. When seen
from there only salt is seen in all directions as far as the eye could see
and so this area appears as a white region. Similarly in Kavir desert in
the Plateau of Iran, Death Valley in the central part of North America,
Atacama Desert in South America, Great Victoria Desert in central
Australia , Kalahari Desert and in Botswana in South Africa and Sahara
Desert in North Africa , large deposits of salt are found. How could have
salt of such magnitude be formed in deserts?
Already the fossils of sea organisms have been unearthed in deserts. So it
is confirmed that all these deserts had been under the sea once upon a
time and later have surfaced above from below the sea. When the sandy area
rose above the sea level, some areas were lower and the sea water which
stagnated in due course got evaporated and the large deposits of salt were
formed.
The Antarctica continent is rising.
In March 2002, on the eastern corner, peninsular area, in the continent of
Antarctica situated at the South Pole, the ice sheets which form on the
land and extend on the sea suddenly broke into hundreds of pieces and were
thrown in all directions. This incident surprised and stunned the
scientists.. Geologist Eugene Dumac of the Michigan University stated
“This is a new event which has never happened before”. David Wagon, a
research scholar of the British Antarctic Research center has stated, “It
is difficult to believe that 500 billion ton of glacier had disintegrated
in thirty five days.” *[20]
Generally, due to the changes in temperature the layers of snow and ice at
the poles melt very slowly into water and mix with the sea. To discuss the
reason for the sudden breaking of the glacier on 4th and 5th April 2002,
more than 60 scientists from 12 countries assembled in Hamilton College
and discussed. It was announced that, the defective formation of the
glacier was only responsible for its disintegration.
Why should the formation of the glacier suddenly disintegrate?
The layers of ice are spread out continuously on the land as well as the
sea. The truth is when the peninsula area of Antarctica rose upwards, the
formation was affected and it broke into pieces. This part of Antarctica
is under the British and hence the arthropod Trilobite’s fossils have been
found. So the reason for the sudden breakage is that this particular
continent is rising. Similarly in Greenland at North Pole, sheets of ice
covering the island had long cracks and these started sliding faster than
before.
In the North Pole
area near the border of Ellesmere Island is an ice shelf called Ward Hunt
on which many cracks have formed during 2002.*[21] Appearance of cracks on
the ice shelves and these cracks breaking them, which had been silent for
the past three thousand years, is only due to the difference in the rate
of rising of the land surface and damaging the structure of the ice
shelves.
A European research scholar, Dr.Remko scharroo after conducting a research
through the satellite, ERS-1 has stated that, the level of the Arctic
Ocean in the North Pole region is reduced by 2.17 millimeters starting
from1995 – 2003.*[22] According to this theory, temperature rise is not
the reason for the cracking and breaking of the ice shelves. It is
because; the increase in the temperature would have resulted in the
melting of ice and increased the ocean level.
But, the level has decreased! So, it becomes clear that the rising of the
islands is responsible for the cracking of the ice shelves and the
lowering in the level of the ocean.
(11) Where did the sand on Chennai Marina beach come from?
The sand on the sea shore of Marina Beach of Chennai city ( India , Tamil
Nadu) was brought by the waves which deposited the sand there. But, what
is the reason for the sand that was deposited by the sea waves to be found
now above sea level?
We cannot think that the sea level has gone down. It is because the area
of the sea is more than that of the land which is only one fourth.
Moreover excluding the continent of Antarctica , all the other six
continents have sandy sea shores on their coastal areas. So, if we say
that the sea level has gone down, it applies to the whole world.
But, speaking about the whole world, there is no reason for the water
level to drop. So, due to the rising of the land that is, the continents
only, the sand deposited by the waves has risen above the sea level. For
example, Hawaii Islands are situated in the center of the Pacific Ocean .
Originally these islands were volcanoes in the sea bed and later rose up
above the sea level. On the southern side of the Hawaiian island is filled
with green colored sand. It is because, it is formed with an element
called Olivine. Usually Olivine is found in the sea bed rock, basalt.
While the island of Hawaii rose up from the sea, as the sea
waves eroded the basalt rock, the Olivine green sand also
rose upward above sea level and formed the green colored sea
shore. Similarly in the area where volcanic mountain rocks
are found on the Hawaii Island , black colored sea shore sand
is seen. As the sand brought by the sea waves and deposited
at the bottom of the sea is seen above the sea level, we can
come to a conclusion that the Hawaii Island has only risen.
We cannot take a decision that the Pacific Ocean ’s level
has gone down. Similarly the sand found on the Marina has
also been brought by the sea waves and deposited at the bottom
of the sea. But, the reason for the sand to be found above
the sea level is that the land has risen up. Similarly, when
large areas of land like islands and continents rise, earthquakes
occur.
(12)Sea lion, a scientific mystery
Last year ,prince of Monaco visited Russia, where the regional governor in
Russia has gifted him with a pair of rare kind of sea lion commonly called
as ‘’nerpa’at present the Russian seals called as ‘’nerpa’’ living only in
the land locked Baikal lake, which is situated at the center of the Asian
continent. *[23]
Seals are generally living in the coastal area. DNA test has showed that
the ancestors of this Russian seals were the ‘’ringed seals’’ which is now
living in the northern sea. Therefore the question is how could the
ancestors of the Russian seals reached the land locked Baikal Lake which
is situated at the center of the Asian continent, hundreds of miles away
from the northern sea?
When ground was dug to lay the foundation for the construction of a
building in the city of Urumki in China , at two meter depth rocks were
located. On it, black colored small and large fossils of fishes ranging
from 6 centimeters to 20 centimeters and looking like painting were found.
Though they were black in color, the scales, fins and tail were clearly
embedded. When the researchers reveled that these fishes lived in the seas
200 million years ago, the people of the city were awe struck.
The reason is that, this city has no connection with the sea. This place
is situated 2500 kilometers on the west of Pacific Ocean, 3400 kilometers
on the south of Arctic Ocean, 6900 kilometers on the east of Atlantic
Ocean and 2200 kilometers on the north of Indian Ocean ! .*[24] .
(13) Land is rising
Rising of some section of land formed the Grand Canyon valley
The Grand Canyon is a
structure, formed by layers of rocky plates is one of the wonders of the
world and was formed below the sea and has risen up. In the beginning when
the earth was a planet made of molten rock, the upper layers slowly cooled
and in different layers sedimentary rocks were formed. During very cold
season, pipes that bring drinking water burst due to the freezing of the
water inside them. It is because when water freezes, it expands and takes
up more space. In the same way when the molten rock cools, its thickness
increases. Moreover, as the density of the rocks is lesser than the molten
rock, they rise upwards.
At the same time, they expand and occupy more area.. The Grand Canyon is
formed by such sedimentary rocks which rose up and expanded. Below the sea
at 3000 meters depth and in the center of the sea also, structures like
the Grand Canyon are found. The Grand Canyon in North America has in it
the fossils of Trilobite, sea shells and snails, which shows us that this
land surface of the Grand Canyon has risen from below the sea.. When a
part of the land rises, there are land slides in the surrounding areas in
which the living things of the sea get buried. Later, when these portions
of the land rise above the sea level, due to land slides the fossils get
exposed.
(14)Tremors on the Moon
One more proof for stating that earth quakes occur due to the rising of
the land are the tremors that occur on the moon. There are no continents
on the moon. But, there are mountains, elevations and craters on the moon.
Moreover moon quakes occur on the moon. Stating that the movement of the
land only causes quakes is incorrect, because there are no continents on
the moon. Hence, the rising of the land is the primary cause for
earthquakes to occur.
Mountains formed by sedimentary rocks. Valleys and rocks are found on the
planet, Mars too. But, there is no water in Mars. The truth that we
understand from this is that, these sedimentary rocks are not formed by
deposits of sediments. Instead, they have been formed by the gradual
cooling of the molten material inside the earth and rise upwards.
(15) The Himalayas existed even before the so called India ’s collision.
It was believed that the Himalayas originated 55 million years ago.
Researcher Wagner had stated that the Himalayas were formed 55 million
years ago only due to the collision of the Indian continent with the
continent of Asia is noteworthy. It should be noted that the fossils of
sea animal called as trilobite which lived 500 million years ago also
found on the Himalaya . Which indicate that the Himalaya was formed 500
million years ago. Therefore the so called collision of India which is
said to be took place 50 million years ago caused the formation of the
Himalaya is not correct.
When the continental plates collide with each other, mountains are
supposed to be formed. As the continental plates move only a few
centimeters per year, it was believed that mountains grew very slowly, but
Dr. Carmala Garzione a researcher belonging to the University of Rochester
has found out that, the Andes mountain range in South America is growing
very fast.*[25] By observing the amount of rocky deposits which had
undergone chemical reaction due to the isotope oxygen 18, and calculating
the period during which it was formed, it could be predicted when and how
fast a mountain had grown. The research conducted based on this showed
that, the Andes mountain range had grown very fast 10 million and 7
million years ago. On this basis, Carmala Garzione surmised that the
growth of mountains does not depend on the movement of the continents but
should be based on something else. Similarly the Sierra Nevada Mountain in
North America is also growing very fast.
(16)The Islands of Indonesia are continuously rising
Soon after Tsunami, which killed more than two and a half lakhs of people
and had originated from the island, Sumatra, it was found out that, after
the earthquake the north western part of the island simeulue, which was in
that region had risen about three feet high above sea level.
On account of this, a new shore had formed on the north western
part of the island. In addition to that; the sea sponges which
were on the sea bed were visible above the sea level! Three
months after the earthquake on 26th December, 2004, another
quake occurred on 28th March 2005 after which simeulue was
found to be four feet above sea level. Apart from this, for
an area of about three hundred kilometers, sea sponges which
are normally found below the sea could be seen from all visible
areas!*[26]
Why did the island rise four feet above sea level?
As the molten rock keeps cooling gradually, the rocky plates that are
formed at different levels are of less thickness and density and they keep
rising continuously. The main reason is that, when the molten rock cools,
the water and hot gases get released and the rocky plates that are formed
are of lesser thickness than the magma in which they formed.
Water has a higher density and the ice cubes formed from it have a lower
density and they tend to float on water Likewise, the molten rock material
which has a higher density produces rocky plates which have a lower
density and these move above sea level and form islands.
When new plates are produced by the molten rock material, they start
moving upwards thereby pushing the plates which were already formed. The
plates suddenly start rising upwards due to intense pressure. Similar to
the ripples that are formed and expanded when a plate of water is hit at
the centre from below with a finger, when the island simeulue, which was
found in the central part of the Indian Ocean suddenly rose up, the water
was pushed aside in all directions and only this resulted in Tsunami.
The frequent
occurrences of earthquakes and Tsunami in Indonesia are only due to the
sudden rising of the islands.
But, the geologists have come up with a different explanation for the
earthquakes which occur there. They say that, about six and a half crores
of years ago, India was an island on the southern part of the equator. It
moved slowly towards north and collided with Asia about five crores of
years ago and it is still continuing its movement. The geologists also
opine that due to this movement, when the indo-Australian plate suddenly
went below the Burmese plate on December 26th, 2004, an earthquake
occurred. There is no truth in what they say because even six and a half
crores of years ago India had been part of Asia in the same place as it is
found now.
The fossils of mammals which lived in Asia six and a half years ago have
been excavated in the form of bones by Professor Ashok Sahani of Punjab
University and Professor G.V.R. Prasad of Jammu University in the village
of Naskal at Andhra Pradesh and they prove that the above statement is
true.*[27] So, as per the researchers’ opinion, India had not been an
island on the southern part of the equator about six and a half crores of
years ago. So, it is proved that even six and a half crores of years ago
India had been part of Asia in the same place as it is found now and is
not moving in the north eastern direction.
Therefore the indo-Australian plate did not go suddenly below the Burmese
plate. So the earth quakes on 26 -12 -2004 and 28 – 3 -2005 and the
Tsunami are only the result of the rising of the island, simeulue, above
its original level.
(17)Rising of the earth’s crust is responsible for producing earthquakes,
Earthquake is caused due to the movement of the land is a myth.
The most important thing that is missing in this view is that
there is no explanation for why earthquake occurs in the centre
of the land instead of the peripheral area. Actually the land
is rising in different places. This is the reason why earthquakes
occur only in the central parts of the land. To be specific,
after an earthquake occurred on September 30th of 1993, in
the village named Killari, it was found that the land had
risen about three feet in height. This shows that the rise
of the land is the cause of the earthquake.
Reasons for the Rise of the Earth’s Crust
On September 30th 1993, the earthquake that hit the village, killari,
situated in central part of India resulted in the death of more than eight
thousand people and raised the land surface about three feet high. This
elevation was seen in an area of around two kilometers.
Why did the earthquake
occur?
The quake occurred only in killari, situated in central India and left two
kilometers of land area raised. This proves that the earthquake occurred
only due to the rise of the land.
Apart from this, the pictures taken by the satellite before
the quake showed that the temperature of killari had also
risen and the pictures taken after the quake showed it to
be normal.*[28] After the earthquake occurred, on the borders
of Andhra and Karnataka white colored smoke emitted from the
ground. Why did the land rise? Why was the temperature more?
Why did the land emit white colored smoke? We know that the
molten rock material called magma is found inside the earth
as we have seen it coming out through volcanoes. In the same
way, when the molten rock, lava flows on the earth’s surface,
we can see the condensed steam and other gases in the form of white
colored smoke. As the water and other hot gases are eliminated as steam,
the molten rock cools down and turned in to rock. In the same way when the
molten rock inside the earth starts cooling, water and other hot gases
come out in the form of white smoke. Due to this, the temperature of the
land rises.
Moreover when the molten rock cools and as the water and hot gases get
released, the rocky plates that are formed are of less thickness. For
example: water has a higher density and the ice cubes formed from it have
a lower density and float on water. Likewise, the molten rock material
which has a higher density produces rocky plates which have a lower
density and move above the level of the molten rock. In the same way, when
new plates are produced by the molten rock material, they start moving
upwards there by pushing the plates which were already formed. On account
of this movement, the edges of the plates rub against each other thereby
causing earthquakes.
For example: in 1356 an earthquake occurred in the city Basel in
Switzerland which is situated in central Europe . In the same city, an
organization which produces electricity using the heat from underground,
drilled two holes of five meters each on the earth in the year 2006.The
project was to send cold water through the first hole which would be
changed into steam using the heat of the molten rock and pushed out
through the second hole and by rotating dynamos.
This would be converted into electricity. But, on the eighth day after the
water was sent inside the earth, in the same place, the Richter scale
recorded an earthquake with an intensity of 3.4.*[29] Even if atom bombs
are tested underground, earthquakes do not occur. How could the water
which seeped inside produce an earthquake? This clearly shows that the
water which seeped inside the earth cooled the molten rock which in turn
formed new plates that rose up and caused the earthquake.
Volcanic activity in central Europe .
Vogt land, which is situated in central Europe , had often been
experiencing a number of minor earthquakes. In the same place, a
researcher by the name Dr.Karin brauer collected the bubbles which came
out along with an underground spring in a marshy area and through his
research, found out that gases were emitted from a volcano.*[30]
Based on his research, he says that when the molten rock rises, the
pressure of the gases increases and this results in the formation of
cracks on rocks which may ultimately result in earthquakes. But for
millions of years in the past, these gases have been coming out of the
earth.
Apart from this, there are spaces for these gases to be eliminated.
We have already seen this fact and the gases do not have enough
pressure to bring about an earthquake. A few years ago from
the mountainous part of Nilgiris in India , smoke were seen
emanating from earth, but fortunately no earthquake was caused.
Likewise, Matsushiro in central Japan also experienced a number
of mild quakes. To find out the reason for these quakes, a
researcher by the name yoshida collected Water from the hot
water springs found there and through experimentation discovered
that the water was from the molten rock found underground.*[31]
So, she surmises that,” The water which is underground comes out with
great pressure and this produces cracks on the rocky plates and this
results in earthquakes”. But, the water and gases which are underground
have been surfacing through the spaces found between the rocky plates for
millions of years in the past So, the reason for the continuous tremors
and the elevation of land is only due to the slow rising of the rocky
plates. For example Wyoming found in central part of North America has
more than three hundred hot water springs. Due to the deposit of sulphur
from the water, the rocks in that area appear yellowish in color. So, the
area of hot water springs is referred to as yellow Stone Park . Each year
that place experiences about two thousand mild tremors. Between January,
2008 and March 2008, 287 tremors have rocked the place. Moreover it has
been found out through satellite research that the land area of 60 miles
is continuously raising.
To be specific, starting from 2004 till 2006, the land area has been
rising at the rate of 2.8 inches every year and has risen to a height of
seven inches in three years. It is still rising. But research scholars say
that, it is only the effect of the expansion of the molten rock due to
heat.
But the surfacing of the water only shows that the molten
rock is cooling. So the release of water and the gases from
the molten rock cools the molten rock. This results in the
formation of new plates and the rising in the land level in
the central part of the continents and results in tremors
in those areas only. There will be an earthquake tomorrow.
One week before an earthquake struck the city of haicheng
on 30th February, 1975, on the north eastern part of China
, it was officially announced that a quake would strike the
city.
People abandoned their houses and assembled in an open area in the snow
fall. For one week nobody did any work. As announced there was an
earthquake of 7.3 magnitudes which was recorded on the Richter scale. Two
thousand and thirteen people lost their lives. It was estimated that if
precaution had not been taken, the death toll would have exceeded one and
a half lakhs! The whole world looked at China with surprise and when
asked, they said that for the past one year slight tremors were occurring
and they were gradually getting intensified. They also explained that,
during the previous week there was tremendous change in the underground
water table. But, in the next year, the earthquake which struck the city
of Tang Shan situated in the north eastern part of China killed two and a
half lakhs of people and severely wounded more than one and a half lakhs
of people. Chinese geologists said that on this occasion there were no
preceding tremors. During the earthquake in haicheng, sulphur gas and in
Tang Shan carbon-di-oxide were eliminated from underground.
Regarding this incident, Carol Raymond is a geophysicist at NASA's, said
“Only if we know how an earthquake is caused, we can warn about it in
advance”.
How Does an Earthquake occur?
When the rocky plates under the ground rise and their edges rub with each
other, an earthquake is caused. Moreover, the water and the gases found
between them are under great pressure when these plates rise and so come
above the surface of the earth.
Hence, it is understood that the hot gases and water which
come out of the earth and the temperature changes are the
most authentic warnings of an approaching earthquake. So,
by closely and continuously monitoring the temperature changes
through satellite observations and finding out the depth and
temperature in which the molten rock is found in a particular
place, the occurrence of an earthquake can be predicted in
advance. Based on it, if precautions are taken, great loss
to human life can be prevented.
