Re: [asa] Super volacanos

Glen Morton has pointed out that the mercury and other chemicals released by
volcanoes, if crammed into a one-year flood, would poison the earth fairly
effectively. Additional problems include how one has an
aerially-distributed ash when all the mountains are under water, how the
fine ash settles into discrete layers when the ocean is catastrophically
rushing around; the sequential building and eroding of volcanoes that has to
take place (e.g., the Hawaii-Emperor Seamount chain), and how the ash bed
sometimes gets footprints or raindrop impressions in it (only land animals).
