Jerry, Drifting continents are hard to imagine you say, yet a large object striking the Earth going straight through to desintigrate in outer orbit or keep on going on its merry way is easier you suggest?? I am sorry but that is beyond any probability within civilised thought. Ever seen an entry and exit hole of a bullet Jerry? Thought about what would happen to the magna inside the Earths core if there was two massive holes at either end? Stopped for a moment to consider the rammifications to the magnetic poles and how they relate to the iron core of our planet and in turn what that magnetic field does for evry living thing on the planet Jerry? I guess not. Fantastical creative mind though, Ill give you that.

Continents drifting apart is a bit hard to imagine, due to the laws of attraction. Imagine the eaths crust as a scum line. Just as anything floating on a miniscus they will naturally attract and collide as they did to create the central island. Braking apart is a whole different ball of wax, or in this case, Earth. As a young man, I had theorized that maybe the earth had somehow expanded but no, Something HAD TO TEAR THE PANGEA APART! Now let's take another look at the events that happened around that time. The Jurrasic era ended because the ice age began.What caused the ice age? We'll get to that. If the scientists carefully compare the dinosaures from each continent, a close famlily tie amongst certain species will exhibit itself. In addtiton, when the continents broke up, the lowermost portions were pulled further East than the northern ones. Why? So what really happened? In all probability, during the Jurrasic era, Earth was assinated. An incredibly dense object struck Earth with enough velocity and at just the right spot, passing through the atmosphere, the earth's crust, hundreds of miles of magma, and out the other side. A huge plume of magma, water, and crust followed, some of which began to orbit earth, the rest choking the atmosphere enough to cause the ice age. Being partially relieved of Earth's gravity, the magma formed huge balls as it cooled. Eventually, those balls collided. Meanwhile the plumes of water and land caught up, the water filling the gaps between the balls and the dust settling everywhere. Oddly enough, that also explains why evidence of currents are seen on a dry moon. When a celestial body orbits close enough, it can actually draw some of the water to the surface. And the moon shrinking? Probably just settling. Jerry Well Mr. Knowitall, now lets shake things up a bit. Continents drifting apart is a bit hard to imagine, due to the laws of attraction.

Braking apart is a whole different ball of wax, or in this case, Earth. As a young man, I had theorized that maybe the earth had somehow expanded but no, Something HAD TO TEAR THE PANGEA APART! Now let’s take another look at the events that happened around that time. The Jurrasic era ended because the ice age began.What caused the ice age? We’ll get to that.

So what really happened?
In all probability, during the Jurrasic era, Earth was assinated. An incredibly dense object struck Earth with enough velocity and at just the right spot, passing through the atmosphere, the earth’s crust, hundreds of miles of magma, and out the other side. A huge plume of magma, water, and crust followed, some of which began to orbit earth, the rest choking the atmosphere enough to cause the ice age. Being partially relieved of Earth’s gravity, the magma formed huge balls as it cooled. Eventually, those balls collided. Meanwhile the plumes of water and land caught up, the water filling the gaps between the balls and the dust settling everywhere. Oddly enough, that also explains why evidence of currents are seen on a dry moon. When a celestial body orbits close enough, it can actually draw some of the water to the surface. And the moon shrinking?

Probably just settling.
