When the Los Angeles Aqueduct diverted the water from the Owens River in 1924, the Owens Lake dried up. Most dry lakes have been dry for thousands of years, but because the Owens Lake dried so recently, that it has become a serious source of air pollution whenever the wind blows. It is estimated that 900,000-8,000,000 metric tons of alkali dust particles are blown into the air each year, making...

    Brilliant! I was finally able to locate the the massive caldera that is now Ladyface mountain in Agoura Hills. I interpreted it as the original upwelling of magma that helped to create the Santa Monica Mountains and a huge number of other minor to major mountain building events.

    Hope you are more familiar with researching rocks than you are with researching words...."Graben" means 'ditch' or trench'. "Grab" means 'grave'. Four letters instead of six.

    People always point at my rocks and say “That is granite!” I say “No. That one there is granite. I don’t know what the one you pointed at is. Something a glacier brought to where I collected it.” I am currently trying to learn to identify what I am collecting that people are pointing at.

    Thanks to James Hutton and Charles Lyell, geologists took the wrong turn. Why do geologist keep denying that the many horizontal layers on our planet could only have been formed by a gigantic recurring cataclysm? Maybe because they can't explain how this could happen. But in history books of mankind we find many references to a cycle of recurring natural disaster that is caused by a celestial body. These disasters are caused by the ninth planet in our solar system which is surrounded by a huge cloud of dust and meteorites. That is why the planet seems to be invisible. At the end of the disasters, that causes flooding all over the planet even above the highest mountains, the earth is covered with a layer of mud which is a mix of existing materials as sand and lime and clay and of the deposition of the dust cloud. So each layer on our planet must have depositions from the same dust cloud around planet 9. And that dust cloud will be very old and will contain no living organism because that dust comes from outer space. We found abundant and convincing evidence for the existence of this planet and the disasters. Ancient civilizations recorded information and warnings for this terrible natural cataclysm both in texts and in images. When you do not know about these disasters you can not determine the age of rocks. To learn much more about planet 9, the recurring flood cycle and its timeline, the re-creation of civilizations and ancient high technology, read the e-book: "Planet 9 = Nibiru". This book answers many of your questions. It can be read on any computer, tablet or smartphone. Search: invisible nibieu 9

    Geologists only talk and think in millions of years. They have different methods for determining the age of rock layers. However, there is one small problem. Ancient books tell us that a cycle of natural disasters threatens the earth and all living things. The cause of this cycle of disasters is a ninth planet in our solar system orbiting the sun in an eccentric orbit. Features of the natural disaster include a massive tidal wave, higher than the highest mountain, flooding, storms, rain, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and a fiery asteroid bombardment. That planet is surrounded by a gigantic twisting cloud of dust and meteorites. That cloud obscures the atmosphere, pollutes the water and covers the whole planet Earth with that dust. At the end of the crossing of this planet 9, the earth is covered with a horizontal layer of wet mud, a mixture of sand, clay, lime, fossils of sea and land animals, shells and the deposit of that dust cloud and asteroids. So every layer on our planet contains material with the same antiquity, perhaps many millions of years old: the deposit of extraterrestrial clay. If you don't know about this cycle, you have no idea how our history has evolved. To learn much more about planet 9, the recurring flood cycle and its timeline, the re-creation of civilizations and ancient high technology, read the e-book: "Planet 9 = Nibiru". It can be read on any computer, tablet or smartphone. Search: invisible nibiru 9
