There are two major schools of thought – there is gradualism, where changes in Earth take place over may years, centuries, thousand and millions of years, such as glaciers slowly advancing and receding, the northward movement of the pacific crust against the north American crust, up thrusting of mountain ranges.
There is catastrophism where there are sudden dramatic cataclysms – meteor impacts such as the Chicxulub impact that wiped out 90% of life on earth is a really good example.
Another is a combination of the two: there are gradual changes punctuated by catastrophes.
One of the more interesting hypothesis is the pole shift theory. This has been around for quite a while, popularized by Charles Hapgood a few decades ago. In a nut shell, the earth’s crust slips from its current position to another. The last was some 23 degrees. Prior to the slippage part of Antarctic was ice free because it was further north, and Siberia was further to the south. A very accurate ice free Antarctica can be seen in the Piri Reis map, drawn in the 1500s, which was compiled from earlier maps.
Hapgood and other’s theories was that the crust was displaced – the North pole was no longer in Hudson’s Bay in Canada but was relocated to the Artic Ocean. While there is plenty of scientific evidence that this happened, the causal agent is not understood. Hapgood’s hypothesis was that as ice age glaciers built up in the north polar region, immense water weight built up, centrifugal force pulled it southwards – it being the ice pinned to the crust – resulting in the crust slipping over the liquid magma.
How else was one to explain Mammoths with frozen tropical plants in their mouths? Unfortunately, they have to be quick frozen for that to have happened. Big mystery.
Hubbard opted for a pissed off OT ripping the air cover off the planet, and giving it a twist, as he discussed in the Free Being tape. It was something I always questioned.
Hapgood’s centrifugal forces acting on glaciers hypothesis has holes in it so leaves one to wonder.
Our dear CIA has censured a book on the subject which was recently released as explained in the first of the two below videos. In it we find a different scenario where the pole shift is intertwined with the magnetic pole shift – as the magnetic pole shifts, the crust is pulled along with the shift in magnetic orientation. It is a rather sudden shift and giant tsunamis occur – hundreds of feet tall as the inertia of the water holds it in place as the crust shifts beneath the oceans. It drives earth civilizations into the stone age.
The Rocky Mountains serve as a natural barrier to such a tsunami – so much so, that the US government built the Cheyenne Mountain complex on the eastern side of the Rockies, one presumes, in accordance with the data in the newly released book.
The second video goes into a different theory – that of a massive solar eruption, many orders of magnitude greater than the Carrington event. Were the Carrington event to happen today – much of our electronic based society would cease to function. It would be a disaster of biblical proportions.
Neither of these videos take into account the recently discovered crater in Greenland or the one that his the ice sheet covering the great lakes at the end of the Younger Dryas, resulting the die off of North American mega fauna, though Schoch does discuss it in his recent book.
Interestingly enough, Hubbard is spectacularly lacking in any evidence of such global disasters in his writing. While he launches into fanciful space opera and the like, about the only mega disaster he entertains is incident 2 of the OT III materials – the wall of fire found in the H bombing of volcanic craters. I find there is an interesting relation between his description of the wall of fire and the solar outburst / mini nova discussed in the second video. Maybe he was on to something but his space opera paradigm got in the way?
