Don't forget that the sun shines 1.28e17 joules of energy every second on the surface of the earth. That energy has to go somewhere. Could be disastrous!

That energy has to go somewhere. Could be > disastrous! In some biological/biodiversity and global warming ways it is disastrous! Sunlight does cause a minuscule thermal expansion of our surface crust and ocean volume, but not a lithospheric tidal wave of 16.9 m/s that's out of sync with that much weaker solar tidal wave, not to mention when our moon gets aligned plus otherwise at times boosted by the alignment of Venus, whereas at times that litho-tidal-wave gets to be . 55+ meter high. Add that to whatever's flowing, expanding exploding/ imploding below the lithosphere or deeper into the mantel, and it can't always be good. ~ BG

Notice that some of those past seismic events were 100+ km deep, and that's the mantel exploding/ imploding. Anything much below 50 km is either inside the upper mantel or at least within a fluid layer of magma that's just below the crust, and that average crust is only <15 km thick (ocean floor >5 km thick). ~ BG |
