	<title>Giant Rift In Africa Will Create a New Ocean</title>

	<htmltext><a href="http://hughpickens.com/" rel="nofollow">Hugh Pickens</a> writes <i>"Researchers at the University of Rochester believe that <a href="http://www.rochester.edu/news/show.php?id=3486">a 35-mile rift in the desert of Ethiopia will likely become a new ocean</a> in a million years or so, connecting the Red Sea with the Gulf of Aden. Using newly gathered seismic data, researchers have reconstructed how the rift tore open along its entire 35-mile length in just days. <a href="http://www.volcano.si.edu/world/volcano.cfm?vnum=0201-113&amp;volpage=var">Dabbahu, a volcano at the northern end of the rift, erupted first</a>, then magma pushed up through the middle of the rift area and began 'unzipping' the rift in both directions. 'We know that seafloor ridges are created by a similar intrusion of magma into a rift, but we never knew that a huge length of the ridge could break open at once like this,' says Cindy Ebinger, professor of earth and environmental sciences at the University of Rochester. The results show that <a href="http://issuu.com/lightmediation/docs/birthofanocean?mode=embed&amp;documentId=080419174234-ff3ffaf5e5a946daabe276d7b37ce6a1&amp;layout=grey">highly active volcanic boundaries along the edges of tectonic ocean plates</a> may suddenly break apart in large sections, instead of in bits, as the leading theory had previously held. The sudden large-scale events pose a much more serious hazard to populations living near the rift than would several smaller events."</i></htmltext>

When a second fault line, the Saint Lawrence rift, formed approximately 570 million years ago,[4] the basis for Lakes Ontario and Erie were created, along with what would become the St. Lawrence River.The Great Lakes are estimated to have been formed at the end of the last ice age (i.e.
about 10,000 years ago), when the Laurentide ice sheet receded.
The retreat of the ice sheet left behind a large amount of meltwater (see Lake Agassiz) which filled up the basins that the glaciers had carved, thus creating the Great Lakes as we know them today.
[9] Because of the uneven nature of glacier erosion, some higher hills became Great Lakes islands.
The Niagara Escarpment follows the contour of the Great Lakes between New York and Wisconsin.
Land below the glaciers "rebounded" as it was uncovered.
[10] Because the glaciers covered some areas longer than others, this glacial rebound occurred at different rates.
Some researchers believe that differential has contributed to fluctuating water levels throughout the Great Lakes basin.

Yeah there are lots of stupid theories from Christian apologetics who want scientific proof that the Old Testament really happened in one way or another.<br> <br>

Anyone who doesn't have a religious agenda to promote tends to find it pretty dang obvious that the Jewish flood story was based off the Babylonian/Sumerian one. Why any rational person (without an agenda) would need to look for a big, epic reason for why people who were <b>living on a floodplain</b> would have a folk-tale about a giant catastrophic flood, is beyond me.</htmltext>
