    Yes an "earthquake" you were told about in school is the earths plates rubbing or bumping due to the fact they are floating on lava, this was more like fracking, leaving a weakspot that caused over 100 miles of coast to slip

      A planet wants to be round because of gravity. If it spins like Earth does, it will be slightly wider at the equator due to centrifugal force, but it will have an ideal shape for that spin and even the tidal forces caused by the moon, which while obvious in the ocean tides. also acts on the rock too. If a miles-thick sheet of ice disappears, trillions of tons of mass is displaced and the rock beneath it will rise to try and keep the Earth as spherical as possible. This causes the Earths crust to fracture. On top of that, trapped gasses escape, further destabilizing it.
      Moons which are close to the gas giant planets have their rocky surfaces constantly squeezed and the stretched by the gravity of their mother planet, and experience constant quakes and volcanic conditions as a result.

    There was once a earthquake and megatsunami in Lituya Bay in Alaska in 1958....Luckily it was sparcely populated. The wave was said to be 1000ft + high...and was witnessed by a father son duo who were fishing on their boat in the bay at the time. It is said their boat actually rode the wave and they survived.....But could you imagine how scary a 1000ft wave would have been if you lived there. If there had been a town near by....crazy.

    This is near where I live, just down the road, about 5 miles, is Happisburgh (pronounced Hazeboro) in Norfolk where the earliest evidence of people have been found. Humanoid footprints and a neolithic hand axe. Fishermen often bring up evidence of human activity in their nets. We have fossils in the cliffs, near the sea. There are lots of sand bars off shore. All quite interesting, Doggerland even has a Facebook page. It was this event that created our shore as it is today. Evidence of the flood is found in the English Channel.

    The British Isles are tilted on what scientists call a half graben. Tectonically the western area of the landmass is rising and the eastern side is sinking. So the Irish Sea would not have been affected. As geological timescales are difficult to comprehend it’s understandable that folk would find this hard to accept. Doggerland was doomed regardless. The Netherlands and Flanders Belgium will also eventually succumb over millions of years. Tectonic actions are generally slow though occasionally a pressure event will cause a catastrophic outcome in a relatively short timescale. Vesuvius erupting in 79 AD and Krakatoa for example. More recently we have Mt St Helen’s in Washington State, and very far back the meteorite that ended the Cretaceous which resulted in wiping out the Dinosaurs. We live in a tectonically active world but because it is mostly extremely slow (from a human perspective) it appears to be dormant. Geology is a fascinating subject but it requires us to revisit our understanding of time. 😀

    The Toba (Sumatra) volcanic eruption of about 75,000 years ago is estated to have led to the death of about 90% of humanity globally. It very nearly ended us. This is the second last supervolcano to erupt, the first one since humans arrived on the scene. The earth froze for a number of years as a result of the volume of material thrown into the atmosphere blocking the sun. This volcano was at least 12 times greater than Tambora, also in Indonesia, who 1815 eruption caused the "year without a summer" in 1816 (giving rise to Frankenstein and, indirectly, Dracula, but that's another story, another Simon Whistler video).

    The Dogger Bank is a very large submarine reef (And there are still even today, also very rich fishing grounds found there) under the North Sea, lying some 160 km (100 miles) west of Jutland in Denmark!
    Doggerland is a geological or archaeological term for the ancient, but now submerged land-link between the island of Great Britain And Denmark, Germany, & the Low Countries. This land-link was apparently severed by this putative, huge seismic event or a series of them, some 8,000 years ago after the final, major, thawing effects & events of the latest ice age had then fully concluded!

    In Britain for me the most heartfelt in our lifetime was this one although man made: The Aberfan disaster was the catastrophic collapse of a colliery spoil tip on 21 October 1966. The tip had been created on a mountain slope above the Welsh village of Aberfan, near Merthyr Tydfil, and overlaid a natural spring. Heavy rain led to a build-up of water within the tip which caused it to suddenly slide downhill as a slurry, killing 116 children and 28 adults as it engulfed Pantglas Junior School and a row of houses. The tip was the responsibility of the National Coal Board (NCB), and the subsequent inquiry placed the blame for the disaster on the organisation and nine named employees.

    The point is that the land was relieved of the weight of millions of tons of ice that had been pressing it down and so began to rise. The Norwegian shelf collapsed, dropping millions of tons of earth into the sea causing the tsunami. The British isles are still rising at an uneven rate
    & tilted, so some areas lifting while others are sinking. Doggerland is named after Dogger bank,
    a large sandbank in the middle of the North Sea, the highest part of the flooded area. This has been a favourite fishing ground, & Doggers were Dutch fishing boats. It could happen as a large area of Norway coast has been found to still be unstable,& things are still warming!

    All lifeforms evolve to fit the current environment, and therefore any change to that environment will nearly always be a bad thing for them. Not to mention the transitions are nearly always volatile - earthquakes, tsunamis, eruptions etc. But in the long run, life finds a way and we evolve to suit the new environment as well as our ancestors evolved to suit the last... That is unless we go extinct, but we're 3.7bn years in and our ancestors have always managed so far :)

    The worst-ever natural disaster for the human species was probably the Toba supervolcano eruption in Sumatra 74,000 years ago. It’s thought that the human race was reduced to between 1,000 and 10,000 breeding pairs (1,000 - 10,000 individuals) worldwide. There’s also evidence of genetic bottlenecks around that time in other species, too - chimpanzees, orangutans, macacques, cheetahs, and tigers.

    The layer of ice during the ice age was think enough to predd down on the tactonic plates, so when that ice is gone, it the plates start making movements, hence the eartquakes. Or so I understand.
    Whether or not I got it wrong about the tactonic plate part, it still remains a fact that the ice pressed down upon large portions of land, which when the ice melted quickly started moving upwards, causing frictions against parts of the earth that wasn’t moving.
    And when enough force is put into system that is held together by friction, there is a breaking point where the two objects start to suddenly move. That breaking point is basically when we get earthquakes.

    Not all earthquakes are caused by mantle changes. It’s a matter of subsidence and follows Newton’s laws. This is cause and effect. Energy is transferred by changes in the crust too. If a large volume of the continental shelf collapse then energy is released. That energy has to go somewhere and in this case it would result in a Tsunami. Now Doggerland was already close to sea level so the resulting Tsunami along with the melting icecaps and the Canadian deluge would be a perfect storm affecting the sea level in general. Doggerland was therefore inundated and could not recover. Icecaps hold a tremendous amount of water. Even today with icecaps melting our coastal cities are in danger. Whether we know this or not we are still living in an Ice Age, albeit a warm period. We humans, have affected our climate to such a degree that we are changing our planet in decades what would normally have taken hundreds of thousands of years to do.

  • @timholder6825
    @timholder6825 2 года назад

    External pressure on tectonic plates causes earthquakes too. Dam builders discovered this in the 50's. The weight of the water on the previously untensioned tectonics had the effect of causing earthquakes, sometimes quite far away. If the ice caps were to melt it wouldn't just affect sea levels. The whole axis of weight (on which we spin) of the planet would be, as all the weight would be redistributed. changed. Like setting a gyroscope spinning then shifting the weight distribution/point of balance. It affects the rate of spin and the cant. It isn't just rising sea levels and tidal currents that effect the weather. Move the two polar anchor points north and south redistribute the weight.......on something spinning and rotating. Forget about a 1 degree change in temperature what about a 1 degree change in the Earth's cant?

    Before the tsunami rivers used to flow from Germany , Denmark etc down the English Channel and out to the Atlantic these can still be mapped .
    Snow across Britain and Northern Europe was up to a mile thick so when it melted all the weight was off the land so it started to rise , at the moment southern England is very slowly sinking down were as Scotland is very slowly rising so the UK is tilting.
    When the last flooding of Dogger Bank happened lots of animals ( including prehistoric ) got trapped and died and their bones are still getting caught up in fishing nets regularly .

    Climate change is definitely not always for the worse, up untill 10,000 years ago the climate was going through constant periods of ice ages then thawing then back to ice ages. This stopped 10,000 years ago when the climate leveled out and the global temperature moved to a less than one degree change (it only take a very small change in the global temp to mess things up, hence why at the currently climate conference their goal was less then 2 degree change) this was completely necessary in early development of human civilisation as before the climate had been too unstable to make roots in one place hence nomadic hunter gathers for 100,000 - 200,000 years before that. The reason it always seems like a bad thing is because for the climate to change there has to be wide scale events that affect the whole world and are incredibly violent, earth quakes, volcanoes, crazy storms, wildfires, sea rise etc. etc.

    If water could be got to the Quattara depression (North Africa) which lies below sea level, a lake, thousands of square kilometres in size could be created out of an uninhabited, useless, low lying salt marsh. A Suez Canal type project to irrigate would change the whole region. Death Valley is the same. Below sea level desert.

We've given up adaptability and made ourselves extremely vulnerable, so any change from the current climate is dangerous to our civilisation.

    In this very video it is explained that the post ice-age warming produced paradise-like conditions on Doggerland.
    So no; climate change is _not_ always 'bad' for us.
    But as you rightly point out, terms like 'good' or 'bad' are meaningless when applied to nature.
    They are only relevant when considered on scale such as human comfort or stability.
    I guess just like in current news and just as seen here, a mild improvement over time is not news. What we seem to want to hear about are the massive, sudden changes. And thanks to entropy, those are overwhelmingly more likely to be disasters.

    Connor, you really don't have to go back that far to find another slightly different species to homo sapien. You only really need to go back just 10,000 years before you can go into the territory of Neanderthal man. They have a slightly different build, a smaller brain, and stronger bones. They would know only had rudimentary language skills.
    So you don't have to go back millions of years.

    interplate earth quakes are a thing. The can be caused by travelling or rising magma, or in this case it was the methane gas. Climate change is effecting the whole world. So far our summer's have improved here in the UK but we aren't getting enough rain and its too warm.

    This is pretty crazy and not something i knew of. But i do believe there will eventually be a natural disaster at some point probably not in my life time because a click of a finger there's sink holes that are swallowing cars and in some cases houses for sure sink hole have always been a thing and not something you really heard of but they have become much ore popular. Luckily in the UK we don't have huge natural disasters although due to a lot of rain fall we do have floods of streets and houses taken over by water which ruins family homes luckily for us our houses are made of brick so houses can be recovered once the water as finally drained away and you have aired the house out but even still it turns peoples life's upside down. And along with heavy rain fall we get heavy winds which results in a lot of damage it was only a couple of weeks ago a huge tree literally blew over and just missed my kids school.

      But as you say rising water levels have been going on for thousands of years, actually clinate change is constant as long as there is a climate, there are cycles on a timescale so vast no one can see a pattern. Doggerland disappeared under the sea 6,500BC there wasn't any industrialisation, over farming etc there, just a natural occurence. Temoeratures rise and fall with Ice Ages and thaws, a thaw we are in right now from the current Ice Age ending.

We are adding extra to natural cycles a lot extra. The narrative is if you're house is on fire and you have to live in it do you add more fire or attempt to stem the flames. Are you implying sea level rise isn't real?

    As the climate changes, whether naturally or through the impact of humans, the effect varies depending where you are. Whether those changes are positive or negative depends on your circumstances. We are innately conservative creatures who view how things are now as the normal and natural, when there is no such thing as a fixed normal. In fact climate change may turn one area into a desert, while making another more fertile, and people will adapt as you say, the process of change will cause extreme events, it is just forces building up, and energy being released. The big threat to Britain is not the thawing of tundra after the next ice age, but the ice age itself, which is due in geological terms. The valley I live in was carved by a glacier, at its peak where I am would have been covered by an ice field, as was all of Britain other than the barren tundra in the south.

    The earth doesn’t care about us. It does what it will do. The problem we have is that in the small timeslice we have existed we have become accustomed to a certain climate and sea level. Now in geological timescale might have learned to change with it. But because we have changed our climate radically in decades and we are unable to deal with it.

    Atlantis, Mu Mu, Lemuria, Eden (situated in the Mediterranean and Black Sea basins, dry, fertile, protected from the extreme weather of the "uplands" and the more primitive people who lived there, scraping a living) all went under as the water poured over the Straits of Gibraltar and filled the Med. then over the Dardanelles to fill up the Black Sea. Everything in those paradises and the people and cultures that had evolved was destroyed virtually overnight. Not many survivors, ask Adam and Eve (probably real people, but metaphors too.) They had to now find a place and scrape a living amongst the savages. Atlantis sorta managed to establish a colony before the flood. Greek Culture. Wouldn't be surprised if they had a hand in the pyramids too. Atlantis is somewhere at the bottom of the Med. The Garden of Eden was at the bottom of the Black Sea (look where Hebrew, language and customs/culture "originate". Armenia and they wandered south looking for a new homeland. Oh, by the way Connor, they did try an experiment regarding what was recognisably human. The made up a guy to look like what they supposed a neanderthal to look like and dressed him in a business suit and sent him out to interact. I think there's probably footage somewhere on youtube. Cro Magnon, was a bit dumber than us, but wouldn't look out of place. Actually there's quite a lot of Cro Magnon types still around, lol.

    -The reason climate change is really bad is because at the moment it appears to be accelerated from human action. Which means the world we are currently adapted to, and that most living things are adapted to, is changing to something a lot less sustainable

    The question you pose is deep. When did humans become truly human? The fact is we don’t know. We have the change in agriculture at around 4000BC when humans no longer needed to be nomadic, but we don’t really know the point when man stopped being like all other animals and became something more. Animals react and survive based on instinct, humans survive on being able to think and to plan. When this change occurred we really can’t say for sure. It could have been gradual or it could have been through a divine change when man stopped being animal and became truly human. The religious/atheist debate rages obviously but I was always moved by John Calvin’s proposal that the two great creative movements of God was the creation of life and followed by the creation of the human soul. Both creative changes work against the second law of Thermodynamics and yet here we are.
