found formation on sea floor west of Japan (google earth) looks like a massive landslide. Has anyone any info on this slide or on the ensuing tsunami it must have generated?

Please look at googleearth since I can't figure out how to send the image

Raven, Google Earth will give you a GPS reading. If you'll post it I'll take a look.

Beag...

That feature is only for subscribers which being a poor student I am not. but it is a feature easily seen by scrolling over Japan and the pacific ocean. hope this helps.

Ok Raven, I'll give it a shot later.

lat=21.66967057732
lon=138.659666288

does this help?

That will put me right in the ballpark Raven. Thank you.

Raven, I'm just gonna take a wild guess here and I'm probably wrong.
While Japan is a series of islands, it is actually part of the Asian continent.
While I didn't see any evidence of a massive landslide, I wonder if you're not looking at the continental shelf.

Looking from above, it sorta does have the appearance of a landslide.

Just a guess.

well that would explain why I hadn't heard of any slide of this magnitude. I just really thought it looked like a slide with the western edge of the formation having an appearance of flow.. the nice curvy perimeter. I was actually trying to find the scablands in Washington State, but spun the world a bit too hard and wound up looking at Japan, that formation just through me off. Thank you for looking at it, and sharing your thoughts on it.

I don't even know if I'm right. Have fun with Google Earth though.

Min, this only works for an image which exists on the web. If the web site goes down or they ban hotlinking, your posted image disappears. For images on your own PC such as google earth, you need a photobucket or imageshack account which is free. I don't know of any other way.

Correct.

By PM I told R/W to open a photobucket account if those pictures were not already hosted somewhere.

Primordial rocks show early Earth as dynamic place

Scientists have identified an expanse of rock in Greenland as a remnant of Earth's crust dating back 3.8 billion years, a finding that shows the dynamic geological process called plate tectonics was occurring early in our planet's history.

Hmmm.....but are they SURE it wasn't formed by the Flood 2500 years ago?
