26 Jan 11 - "Rather than the slow processes of plate tectonics,
wind, and weather there is another process that can cause exactly
the same events but in an almost instantaneous period: electric
discharge, or "spark machining," says photographer Garry Maxfield.
"Electric currents might once have flowed through Earth's conductive
strata with energies like nothing we know today."
"For instance, the Huangshang or Yellow Mountains in China is sacred mountain
range with
hundreds of spires that taper at the top. This range is not a soft sandstone
but a hard granite type rock.
"A close look at the
tops of the peaks reveals structures that cause one to question whether
water could have formed them," says Maxfield. "Stone obelisks of rock almost 100
meters high alongside smaller versions reveal that they are pointed, not
weathered and rounded. Water erosion?"
"An alternate explanation is that this is an example of electrical machining
from an upward flow of electricity."

I absolutely agree, and I think it happens during magnetic
reversals.
Here's what I say in "Not by Fire but by Ice" (p. 116):

Though not well understood, naturally occurring electrical currents,
called electrotelluric currents, flow on and through the earth's
crust all the time. Generally flowing parallel to the crust,
electrotelluric currents are frequently used by geo-physicists to
map subsurface structural features such as faults, sedimentary
basins, and layered rocks. Anomalies in current density or gradient
indicate a change in subsurface conditions. Electrotelluric currents
are induced by variations in the earth's magnetic field, says
Theodore Madden, of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
If electrotelluric currents are induced by normal everyday
variations in the earth's magnetic field, imagine what a
full-fledged magnetic reversal would do. |
