Continental Drift Contradictions (CDC)

I have just now become a Member and ordered several MetaResearch publications for me to read!

Thank you Peter,

The task you have set for yourself is not trivial. But based on your posting history it looks like you are up to it. When you need help, and you will, you can ask questions here and we will do our best to answer them.

Almost immediately as you begin your studies you will find points of agreement and points of disagreement. Allow your first imporessions to ripen. Think about them as they become second impressions, and allow those to ripen with the help of answers to questions. Third impressions, including any that may have survived from the first and second impression stages, are likely to be useful to you as you begin to compare your theories with ours.

We look forward to some interesting discussions.

Congratulations on the grandkids ... family is cool.

Bob,
I'm afraid you have this little factoid backwards. Higher altitude, and thus lower pressure, results in a reduced boiling temperature.<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></blockquote id="quote"></font id="quote">Larry, I think we have gotten misdirected from my original question to Mark, and the fault is mine. Mark’s original statement was;
<blockquote id="quote"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" id="quote">quote:<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"><i>Originally posted by MarkVitrone</i>
An increased pressure will raise the required temperature needed for melting.<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></blockquote id="quote"></font id="quote">Mark was referencing pressure with temperature to which I incorrectly associated temperature and pressure with boiling water which, only appears, oops, to boil at a lower temperature at a higher altitude. My question to him then; “I wonder; why is it the opposite effect for boiling water?” is moot. Water under pressure, requires a higher temperature to boil. The higher the pressure, the higher the temperature needed to boil water. What was I thinking? It was the word ”boiling” that misdirected me. Sorry.<blockquote id="quote"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" id="quote">quote:<hr height="1" noshade id="quote">Water boils in Denver at about 202 to 203 degrees on the farenheit scale.

Thanks LB.

An important implication in those last two posts of mine to Jim that I forgot to explicitly mention, is that many substratal phase irregularities may be due to impact fracture-melt, mostly huge, super huge impact fracture-melt, much of it 100s even 1,000s of millions of year (myr) old, mixed with noise from more recent, smaller impacts.

The beauty of this more realistic, Catastrophist idea, which fits the new facts being revealed by seismotomography better than CD theory (because reality is catastrophic), is that those troublesome CD-theoretical "irregularities" cease to be irregularities, are transformed into new research opportunities, pointers to mapping those huge, super huge impacts, via my CDC theory, MOAC symmetries, resonances, and so on.
