Ocean Volume Displacement Factors (cont.)

The following illustrations noted as Figures 10a through 10e are cross section details of the earth showing the results of the explosion impact in the Great Lakes region. The impact generated forces are represented here by color renderings in five consecutive stages of seismic activity within the earth.
Figure 10a. This rendering shows the first contact of the meteoritic swarm with the earth’s surface. The explosion impact produces the preliminary seismic (P) wave, which passes tangent to the earth’s core and arrives with a fast velocity at the antipode thus starting the Himalayan Mountain range uplift. Residual waves, following immediately with the "P" force, are reflected from the spherical core surface and translated into the crescent shaped Himalayan range.
Figure 10b. The secondary seismic (S) slow shear waves propagate through the mantle surrounding the earth’s core. The seismic waves uplift the ocean ridges with a domino effect and finally meet in the Indian Ocean. These shear waves cause thermal activity throughout the earth’s ocean depths.
Figure 10c. This rendering shows the crust surface seismic ( L ) waves which caused stresses in the earth’s continental crust. The crust, under these growing stresses, is subjected to various forms of folding and overlap of strata. The impact seismic waves at this stage show the rhythmic pulse generated by the blending stresses within the entire earth structure.
Figure 10d. This illustration represents the gradual fading stage of the weakening seismic stresses. Activity at the antipode remains strong at this time.
Figure 10e. The dying out of stresses are shown here as the earth’s interior begins to stabilize. The only major area of seismic activity remains at the antipode where mountain building continued for a long period of time.
