Buried by 2,500 Feet of Water; The Altai Megafloods

  • Опубликовано: 16 июн 2024
  • Approximately 15,000 years ago, a wall of water more than 750 meters or 2,500 feet in height raced across a section of southern Russia. As this flood quickly overflowed the natural boundaries of river channels, it began depositing house sized boulders on cliffs, and creating giant ripples in the landscape. In the span of only a few hours, the river valleys were deepened by more than 100 feet and hundreds of feet thick of sediment were emplaced along its edge in giant bars. This flood originated due to one of the largest glacial dam bursts in geologic history, which permanently changed the landscape over a wide swath of Russia.

    The comments are rightfully comparing the Altai Floods to the Missoula Floods, as they were both highly destructive similar Ice Age era events! I do want to however note that there may be a point of contention in this video. Some people do not think the flood continued into the Aral Sea, although I interpret that it did.

The videos that do exist tend to focus on the drama for anyone there, and make basic mistakes, like assuming the coastlines were the same as today, or underestimating the power and extent of the tsunami that it caused. There are cross stratification hummocks in Glen Clova. A steep sided glacial valley in eastern Scotland, and deep deposits of quarried sand many miles inland.

    Very good to hear about other Mega Floods, besides Lake Missoula - But, on a technical note - just how BIG, Deep, thick would an Ice Dam have to be to hold back that amount of water? There's no doubt mega floods tore across landscape and caused enormous change - BUT, what could have caused that glacier to melt so rapidly (when I've heard it could take thousands of years for the Arctic ice packs to go with just a couple degree temp increase?) and if the dam was holding back such an enormous quantity of water, why was it not melting at the same rate? Is it a bit of a misnomer to call it an Ice Dam? Is it really an accretion of land, ice and rubble, perhaps miles thick, or perhaps an area of bedrock which finally gives way under the enormous pressure of the melt water? Do we have any engineers on board who could work this out?
    It is a fascinating subject - because, should whatever happened to the Ice Packs before happen again, people in its path would be history. Some great pictures to illustrate the event, awesome.

    Many people arguing about biblical floods and the alleged validity because their occurrence world wide, need to realise that the end of the Ice Age occurred on all continents and most if not all ice deposits produced enormous floods.

    Are you saying that the glacial dam was holding back a lake with a depth of 750 metres? The strength of the material glacial ice is compromised by numerous cracks and crevasses and the hydraulic pressure would seem to suggest there will be a limit to the mass of water that could be held back. Are there other potential explanations for the floods?

    Uh... Kind-of redefines the term "Meltdown". Pure EFFECT.
    Cause in-question.
    ONE POSSIBILITY I have encountered:
    Glacial maximum pointed the North Pole more directly at the Sun. Geologically "Brief" meltdown changed the salinity of the Oceans and raised the O² content of the Atmosphere. Mini-Ice Age 10-25 thousand years follows.
    But the "fuse" has been lit: Explosive growth of plant life South of the Ice increases CO² levels in the Atmosphere. Greenhouse Effect "machine" fires-up. It cascades causing rapid (centuries-to-millennia) meltdown. Glacial Ice-dams hold back meltwater then rupture...
    WELCOME TO THE GLOBAL BADLANDS...
    ... Ocean levels rise...
    DAWN of the Age of Mega-Fauna.
    Humans proliferate.
    The Sun slides into Middle-age.
    Melting Glacial Ice and Tundra belch CO².
    GLOBAL WARMING with a Purpose: Cause leading Effect.
    Ultimately, one guess (theory?) is as good as another but... They can't (in totality) ALL be correct.

      The timing is off, apparently by up to two millennia, although it is just possible they were simultaneous. Anyway, it will be a long time before we know whether the end-Pleistocene comet strike in North America c. 10,800 BC actually triggered or worsened the Younger Dryas cold spell, or if it was just an odd coincidence. And, we don't know if it or they struck the ground, or the effects were all from air bursts. Thus far we have reliable evidence only of air bursts.
      But, yes, blaming sudden mass extinction of dozens of genera of megafauna on people who had already been in North America for tens of millennia turns out to be pretty silly. That said, humans were hell on mammoths. And, amazingly few people know about the 37kya Hartley mammoth butchery site in New Mexico reported by celebrated paleontologist Tim Rowe.

    Oh come on. No amount of ice collapsing into the ocean is going to cause a tidal wave 2500' in height. That can only happen from the sinking of a continent, like Lemura or Atlantis. The timeline is very close.

      @oriraykai3610 - This was not a tidal wave in the ocean - it is called a "glacial outburst megaflood" in the video. It was the actual height of the flood waters themselves from ground zero. Listen to that discharge rate! Re-watch the video.

    Again approx 12500 years ago the ninth planet showed up showering our solar system with metiors. The earth was struck and shift our axis to a less severe seasonal difference. The winters and summers used to be very severe. Thus freezing to flooding....

    How did the environmental impact studies ever allow this to happen! This is what happens when you don't have enough coal fired power stations to supply EV elk and bison
