"What other area's of geology are you into Jack ?"
I really can't say that I am into any other area of geology because in my screwed up belief I feel all formations on earth are somewhat attributed to meteor impacts. So from my standpoint it covers about all aspects of geology. I'm not a firm believer in plate tectonics, or at least I'm not convinced that it has had the global impact that many scientists believe. I won't deny them that it isn't happening but feel it is attributed to surface forces being pulled and controlled by the moon and sun than internal forces deep within our earth. I feel our earth's tides has more to do with it than any other force. I liken it to trying to hold a pan of water on one hand. It's incredible how so little water is hard to hold when sloshing back and forth. now magnify this by billions of gallons of water sloshing back and forth twice a day across our oceans pounding continuously on our shores. It's this continuing pounding on our shorelines by our tides, that is to me, the driving force behind the separation of the continents. Without getting into localized rock formations that I find very intriguing, this pretty much sums up my geological education. Not much of it by the book but it keeps me somewhat content... and you?
