A Long But Interesting Climate Change Paper

12/14/2011 8:16 AM

I'm just getting started on it, but I'm going to read it. Might clear some things up.

But our planetary system is not in one plane - just 'substantially' in one.

How are our active volcanoes located around the earth- are they mostly in the northern hemisphere?- Ireland, Indonesia, Italy, Japan. No volacanoes in souteheren hemishere? Any guess why earth's axis is tilted in a aprticular manenr?

Above corrected with CR4 spell check and see mistakes still left undetected. Again I corrected by pasting to word file elsewhere and pasted back- CR4 Admin to note pl.

You ask these questions of this forum as if the members here or anywhere have a complete understanding in planet wide geology and planet formation. (Maybe I should coin the word planetology.)

One recent idea on the origin of the Earth's axis tilt is that it's an artifact from the collision that created the moon. Another idea is that it's just a random deviation that happened within the standard deviation range from planet formation.

As for Southern hemisphere volcanoes there are certainly more than you think. Since a larger percentage of the southern hemisphere is covered by an ocean, less dormant volcanoes will be easily spotted.

Generally - but not all - volcanoes are distributed on plate boundaries. The science concerned is known as 'tectonics' and falls under Geology.

As they all have some, it's likely due to vectoring force imbalance during coalescing

Yes - spell checker is a little random these days and often detects only a few of many - but if you right click on a word still underlined (by your internal dictionary) and select "bypass custom dictionary", after clicking OK in the page drop-down, then right clicking on said words brings up your dictionaries suggestions. A bit laborious - but there you go.
