The basic mechanism seems to be a surge of magma coming to the surface
as a bubble at high velocity displacing a tidal wave (sic) of seawater
over the continents. After 150 days the bubble retreats with equally
high velocity back into the earth's core and as the continents emerge
water running off at 100 mph can quickley cut grand canyons and deposit
the sedimentary layers in about one week.
I would like to supply the editor of SBC Life with some substantive
information about Baumgardner's thesis if some of you can give me some
references. Is it alright if I suggest your wed site Glenn?
