Recent Video Turns Geology Upside Down

Earth’s origins have always been a source of contentious debate. Plate tectonics vs volcanism, uplift vs subsidence, and how all this water got here always seems to have lacked physical data that could nail down the answers to these questions.

The real issue becomes illuminated when looking at how historical data has trickled in that many geologists were not privy to back in the early 60’s.

Of particular debate is the formation of the Colorado Plateau. Is it part of the North American Craton?

The biggest mystery however, has been the role of erosion and volcanism in the formation of North America’s most stable land mass. In underestimating the role of volcanism a person then could be mistaken on all aspects of the origins of such predominant land features. For most volcanologists will admit that when magma flows and ash belches from the Earth that somewhere a caldera must form.

In this video the researcher suggests many things that tend to fly in the face of uplift theory. And at the heart of this discussion is really a true and real understanding of how Earth was formed and when.

Some scientist feel you can learn more about Earth by studying other planets. In this case, I tend to disagree. Instead I think we can learn more about the origins of our solar system by stepping back and taking a second look at how Earth was formed.
