Wake ★★★★★ (4034)	Looking up volcanoes yesterday with the intent on testing the theory that volcanoes are a source of CO2 with little to no 14C low and behold: What we discovered was several things. There are some 500 KNOWN volcanoes and not 200 as I before mentioned. But these 500 are those that have erupted sometime in recorded history and not those that are all presently active. The exhaust plumes of volcanoes are almost entirely water vapor and CO2. Any black soot-like smoke is from the eruption burning either surface forests on the slopes of the volcanoes or burning through layers of subsurface fossil fuels. It is thought that the water in the oceans is almost entirely due to the exhausting of H2O from volcanic activity. Woods Hole tells us that the mid-oceanic ridge is totally built up from volcanic activity. All of this confirms my ideas that although Dr. Crisp and I have calculated through separate means that man is adding perhaps all of the additional CO2 to the atmosphere that something else is occurring. The oceans apparently under other conditions would be a CO2 sink. And man's puny addition to atmosphere (two hundred PPM or 0.0002%) would have been absorbed. But we are sourcing CO2 from the oceans rather than sinking it. And this sourcing is from volcanic sources and volcanic sources are indistinguishable from man-made sources. We have a major conundrum - during the end of the Cretaceous period, dinosaurs didn't disappear. Most of them had already become extinct or speciation had completely ended. Even in the deep ocean trenches in which you would not expect the conditions from a bolide strike (large meteor) to have little if any effects there had already been tens of thousands of years of species extinction. This signals not this horrible collision event but climate change into a climate which was not of a positive nature for the existing species. Entire plant species were included in this having disappeared long before the iridium lines usually used as a sign of the bolide strike and the end of the Cretaceous. While we may very well have had a bolide that caused extinction of some species it was plainly well underway before this ever occurred. The warm Earth was cooling and new species were being developed. Endothermic species that could survive the cooler weather. This meant much smaller and more diverse species to fill niches in the environment that the large exothermic dinosaurs could not. Could this have been due to nothing more than continental drift? Although we hear that continental drift will continue even today I have grave doubts. The Earth's continental positions before were never as they are today with a dispersion of the continents in such a way that we have a balance of land masses. I would expect them to merely move back and forth though these motions may be eons long. Edited on 22-02-2017 19:28

Or at least it was in the community college course that I took. Took as a retirement activity. That course led to taking more geology courses at a local university. Got another framed piece of paper on the wall now. If you have the time, consider taking a course. Regarding volcanic gasses and volcano plumes....Yes, most volcanic gas is water vapor, with a fair amount of CO2 and smaller amounts of sulfur and sulfur compounds (that our noses are good at detecting) and traces of quite a few other gasses. Those large visible clouds emitted during a major eruption of some volcanos will include lots of volcanic "ash," tiny fragments of hot volcanic material. Not ash in the sense of the solid residue of combustion, but tiny fragments of erupted magma. Rising magma with dissolved gasses sort of fizz with decreased pressure, lots of bubbles result, bubbles in really sticky stuff. Can end up with a sort of champage-bottle fizz effect if the gas content is high. Except the fizzy stuff is tiny fragments of broken bubbles of molten rock. Volcanic ash. Can get bigger stuff too, cinders and "bombs." Sometimes liquid lava flows. Regarding CO2 and oceans, are you saying that the oceans are now a net source of CO2 to the atmosphere? That is contrary to the usual view. Could you provide a reference? Regarding the KT extinction, there is ongoing discussion as to the relative importance of the bolide strike and the Deccan Traps eruptions of the same time period. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deccan_Traps Stay tuned. Regarding future continental drift, nobody knows. A continuation of plate tectonic motion is expected though. Future configurations have been guessed at, but they're just educated guesses. As far as past motions are concerned, the relative motions back to when Pangea included most of the Earth's continental crust into one piece have been pretty well worked out. That there was an earlier accumulation called Rodinia is pretty well established too. An even earlier accumulation and breakup has been named too.

Tim, much to the contrary. Using several methods it appears that there have been one major continent several times with it breaking up and the pieces wandering all over the face of the planet. But as far as I could make out it never had such a near perfect balance of masses. From the continents that formed they quite plainly were strongly imbalanced. Of course, this is all theoretical and although these things are worked out from geomagnetic fields you also have to dump in the Earth's magnetic poles not just reversing but wandering about as well. So to my mind I can only judge what has been theorized in text books.

That there was an earlier accumulation called Rodinia is pretty well established too. An even earlier accumulation and breakup has been named too. Concerning the volcano ash - this occurs only in major eruptions. Of the 200 active volcanoes in the world I think I noted that there are only ten or so in major eruptions and they are not blowing ash as far as I know. Of the others they are exhausting large quantities of H2O and CO2. I noted that this CO2 cannot be differentiated from human generated material because it comes from the mantel and has been there almost from the inception of the Earth. Therefore there's no 14C in it exactly as that man generates by using fossil fuel. http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/Features/OceanCarbon/ discusses how the surface water of the oceans presently is at or very near saturation for the temperatures. So the recent heating of the oceans is releasing CO2 into the atmosphere. Now, this sort of confuses me since Dr. Crisp computed the amount of man-made CO2 from the amounts of fossil fuel consumed and the amount of cement that is being used and outgases CO2 as it hardens. I calculated the amount of CO2 by assuming the rise in CO2 is entirely due to man and then calculating the amount of added CO2 n the atmosphere by weight and dividing by the number of years. We arrived at close to the same number assuming that there is a curve in which we didn't burn so much per year earlier and have accelerated our energy needs. This is NOT the way the growth in CO2 has been over the last 30 years. It appears to be a linear growth. So if the oceans are near saturation and the combination of the thinning and cooling of the mantel and the cracking of fault lines along the mid-ocean ridges is actually happening where is this CO2 going? One possibility is that the deeper oceans along the ridges are not in saturation. But this seems unlikely. Something has been holding CO2 much higher than could be accounted for by animal life. If indeed we have had 120 - 220 ppm over the last millennia, this could only be accounted for via saturation of the oceans which comprise some 70%+ of the surface area of this planet. What do you think?

litesong ★★★★★ (2297)	New & old data is nice: For 386+ STRAIGHT months, global Earth temperatures have been above the 20th century average. This has occurred DESPITE the solar TSI energy output being languid for decades, & below normal for 10 years (including a 3+ year period of low solar TSI energy setting a 100 year low). When the sun returns to normal (& it will because it has INCREASED very slowly for 5 billion years), AGW effects will increase strongly. In late 2016, the Present High Arctic Berserker, or PHAB, or FAB ( over- temperatures on nearly 4 million square kilometers of the High Arctic), jumped to 20degC over-temperature. MIND YOU!! This is NOT a local city temperature over say a 20 kilometer by 20 kilometer square. It is over a square almost 2000 kilometers by 2000 kilometers. Within the last 2 years in the MIDDLE OF WINTER, our Earth's North Pole heated above the freezing point of water for short times, on three occasions. Presently, Arctic sea ice VOLUME is 10,600 cubic kilometers LESS than the to date Arctic sea ice average year for the 1980's. The energy to melt such a cube of ice (almost 22 kilometers by 22 kilometers by 65000 feet high) is about 33 times the annual energy used by the United States of America. Lesser ice losses are occurring in the Antarctic (but increasing).

That's a whole side (almost) with no decent land in it. I also have no idea why the balance thing is important.

If it is free to find it's own axis of spin then it will just spin around without a wobble. If the axis is offset to the center of mass you will have a problem. The earth's axis of spin does not have a fixed point of spin. How do you think the world managed when the continents were all together?

The earth's axis of spin does not have a fixed point of spin. How do you think the world managed when the continents were all together? Quite right. The uneven mass would simply set where the spin axis is. If the Earth were the shape of an teardrop spinning on its side, it would still spin smoothly, and not even the stars would be seen to have a wobble in their movements. Balance is only important with something that has a fixed axis, like a wheel. The wheel wobbles because it is trying to spin on its own axis, but you have effectively given it an offset one.
