readx;? The "New Fairy Wood" event ended with a rapid rise from ice and snow to near-modern temperatures within a few decades. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Due to the increase in temperature, the dry climate, and the massive melting of glaciers on the continent, the thickness of the ice sheet began to thin and the interior began to become unstable.

When the ice sheet on the continent melts, it is often the meltwater on the surface of the ice sheet that erodes the entire ice sheet, and this water seeps into the warmer lower layers of the ice sheet, which is equivalent to adding a layer of lubricating oil to the lower layer of the ice sheet, making the entire ice sheet unstable.

Due to the continuous warming of the climate, the lower layers of the Lauren Ice Sheet (the volume equivalent to the current Antarctic Ice Sheet) of North America at that time were already filled with water, and only the ice tongues exposed to the air at the edge limited these lower layers of water (the lower layers of the continental ice sheet, due to geothermal reasons, were warmer than the upper layers), and these outer layers of ice, some of which connected the North American continent to the Atlantic Ocean.

year, the worst happened:

As the temperature rises, the ice tongue that locks the water ruptures, and the flood water spurts out from the bottom of the North American Lauren Ice Sheet, causing the entire ice sheet to slide rapidly, causing a huge relative displacement between the ice sheet and the earth, causing a large number of frequent ice sheet earthquakes (which can be called "ice shocks"), and the entire ice sheet quickly disintegrates and falls into the ocean in large chunks.

When an ice sheet falls into the ocean, it triggers the ocean to form waves (like a stone falling into a pond). In addition, the impact of ice and the shallow seabed on each other is also prone to earthquakes, and the combination of these two causes causes a huge tsunami with waves of hundreds or even thousands of meters, far higher than the 100 meters of sea level rise caused by the uniform melting of the ice sheet, and it is so fierce that it is impossible to avoid it.

The flow of ice sheets into the sea triggers tsunami waves, which wash the remaining ice sheets on the North American continent and ice sheets in other regions (e.g., the Scandinavian ice sheet in northern Europe, parts of the Antarctic ice sheet) into the sea, causing new tsunamis and eventually global ice avalanches and tsunamis.

Due to the large size and volume of the ice sheet in the Northern Hemisphere at that time, the strongest impact of the tsunami was in the Northern Hemisphere. Humans and animals who had previously migrated to the warm, humid and moist areas of the current continental shelf (then littoral and lowland areas) under the extreme cold conditions of the "New Fairy Wood" event were wiped out mainly by the tsunami, while the actual sea level rise was slow and much lower than the current sea level.

Due to the impact of the "New Fairy Wood" event, the places that are now suitable for human habitation were quite cold at that time, and most of the humans at that time were concentrated on the current coastal continental shelf (coastal and lowland areas at that time), because these places were closer to the sea at that time, and the climate was warmer and wetter, so the damage was especially great when floods occurred.

In a short period of time, a large amount of ice fell into the sea, causing ocean currents and climate chaos, causing frequent tsunamis and earthquakes, and the weather was very extreme, even in areas not affected by the tsunami, torrential rains and flash floods occurred, and the damage was also heavy.

"Huainanzi Lan Shen Xun" said: "In ancient times, the four poles were wasted, the island of Kyushu was split, the sky was not covered, the earth was not circumferential, the fire was not extinguished, and the water was vast and the ocean was endless. Hong Xing said: "Where the flood is more than 300 yuan. “

"Chu Ci Tianwen" said: "The flood spring is extremely deep, how can it be filled?

Summary of the Bible about the Great Flood: "The flood flooded the earth for 40 days and nights, and the waters rose up, and lifted the ark off the earth"; The water was so great on the earth that the mountains were flooded";" Five months later, the ark came to rest on Mount Lara, and after another four months, Noah left the ark and the earth was completely dry. ”

The myth of the flood is the most widespread in the world, with different versions. The earliest Babylonian document, Gilgamesh, records history from the Great Flood, the Hebrew masterpiece Genesis of the Old Testament begins with Noah's Ark, and Greek mythology also has a legend of Ducarion's Ark. The Indians and Amerindians traced the history of mankind from the beginning of the Great Flood. Of the more than 130 Indian races in North, Central, and South America, there is not a single race that does not have a myth on the theme of the Great Flood. In fact, the Flood was not limited to the Indians of the Americas, but was recorded by almost all the peoples living on all continents of the world. Myths often have their basis in reality, indicating that the Northern Hemisphere was probably really surrounded by floods of unknown origin, with nearly a thousand meters of flood peaks, roaring and rushing towards the land, engulfing the plains and valleys, and swallowing all life in these places. The mountains tremble in the waves, and the land is in great change**......

Over the years, mankind has made unremitting efforts to find Noah's Ark. In 1883, an earthquake cracked a section of the Ararat Mountains, revealing part of the hull of a large wooden ship. The ship, which was seen by the Earthquake Survey and Assessment Organization at the time, was estimated to be 12 to 15 meters high, but its length could not be estimated because most of it was embedded in the glacier. In 1916, when Russian pilot Roskevsky flew over Mount Ararat, he spotted a huge wooden boat on the top of the mountain. In 1949, when a Turkish pilot took a photograph of what was said to be an ark from an airplane and estimated its length to be years, the French explorer Nabara found a piece of wood on the top of Mount Ararat, which was identified as a biblical Gopher wood and an antiquity from the previous year. The wood was later exhibited in Germany, France, Egypt and Spain. On August 30, 2002, photographs taken by the highest-resolution commercial satellite known as Kuainiao confirmed the existence of a huge ship-shaped object on the summit of Mount Ararat in present-day Turkey, the site of Noah's Ark as recorded in the Bible.

The flood caused by the tsunami caused by the North American ice cap not only destroyed the dynasty founded by the Suiren clan, but also submerged the last remaining islands of the Atlantean continent, directly destroying the Atlantean civilization. So far, only the Indian subcontinent still has a few sparks of Atlantean civilization.

The advent of the Great Flood also represents the beginning of the Holocene (~), the most recent subglacial period of the Quaternary glacial age, to the modern interglacial period, also known as the late glacial period. This period of time is roughly equivalent to the entry of mankind into a written historical era. We are still in the late glacial period, and we cannot rule out the possibility of the next subglacial period.

The Palaeolithic Age, where the world's major civilizations collapsed as a result of the Flood, and the dawn of the Neolithic Age sprouted in the embers of the Paleolithic Age.

This is the end of the history before the > Great Flood in China, so stay tuned for the fourth part of the "Romance of the World" series.
