PANGAEA BREAKUP DISASTER
It occurred late during the Great Flood
SEQUENCE OF EVENTS
1st, Pangaea was all lowland and had no mountains.
2nd, Asteroid impacts and tidal pull caused tsunamis, which caused the Great Flood.
3rd, a very large asteroid during the late stage of the Flood broke up the supercontinent, Pangaea.
4th, this formed impulse mountains on near sides of the continents and shoved and slid the continents apart, till friction built up brake mountains and stopped their movements.
See Mike Fischer's video “Shock Dynamics geology theory” here.
POINT SOURCE OF CONTINENTAL DRIFT.
At 48" he explains that his asteroid impact theory for the breakup of former supercontinent Pangaea came to him when he noticed that the continents all moved away from the same spot just east of Somalia, Africa. Since then, he discovered that much evidence shows that a large impact occurred there just off the coast, creating a submerged crater 1000 km in diameter. That's over three times as large as the next largest known crater, Vredefort in South Africa.
CONTINENTAL SLIDE.
At 1' he shows that the impact would have caused the continents to split apart and slide rapidly away from a single point. That's how he found the submerged crater location. The continents slid over the Earth's crust on the nearly frictionless plasma Moho layer under the continents. At 5'19" he shows that large underwater landslides also produce a nearly frictionless slide, probably due to ionization, which again produces frictionless plasma. Like charges repel each other, like magnets with the same polarity facing each other. At 3'49" he compares the splitting of the Americas off of Africa to the motion of croquet balls. Below, I compare the breakup of Pangaea to a slab of ice being hit by a sledge hammer. The continents slid away like a maglev train or like ice sliding on an ice rink. Mike explains the actual geological process. He calculated that the eastward moving plates (India, Australia, S.E. Asia) moved at about 340 miles per hour, while the westward moving American plates moved at about 150 miles per hour.

RESISTANT OCEAN.
The energy of the asteroid impact shattered the supercontinent, Pangaea, breaking it into plates and shoved the continental plates apart in all directions at high velocity, but the ocean resisted the motion and slowed them down while also partially flowing over the moving plates. Sea level must have been close to its present level, in order to make tsunamis that drowned Pangaea before the asteroid impact, when Pangaea still had no mountains.
MOUNTAIN FORMATION.
At 4'10" Mike shows how impulse mountains likely formed on the near sides of continents from the point of impact by the initial impulse and brake mountains on the far sides of moving continents by gradual buildup of friction at their bottoms. At 6'10" he explains that some mountains were formed by continents colliding. At 6'29" he shows how sea floor ridges and trenches formed during continental movements.

Bing A.I. says: Folded strata are layers of rock that have been deformed by compressional stress, resulting in bending or curving of the original planar surfaces. Folded strata are common in regions where tectonic plates collide, such as along convergent plate boundaries or subduction zones. Folded strata can also form in other settings where stress is applied to rocks, such as near faults or igneous intrusions. Folded strata can be classified by their shape, orientation, and thickness. Some common types of folds are anticlines, synclines, isoclinal folds, overturned folds, and recumbent folds.
I think the folding of strata must have occurred when the sediments were still wet, before they had a chance to harden, or lithify, since there are very few cracks in the folds, as there would be if hardened rock were folded. This means the folding occurred during or shortly after the Great Flood. The strata had to be deposited before mountain building and folding occurred, since the strata make up most mountains and most fold belts.
SEA FLOOR MAGNETIC STRIPES
There are magnetic bands on the sea floors in which some have normal magnetic polarity, as the Earth has at present, and others have reverse polarity.

It seems clear that the hot spreading surface lava of the ocean floor did indeed record electromagnetic disturbances at Earth's surface (or deeper). However, that activity was probably not the repeated overturning of the geomagnetic field. It appears instead to have been oscillations that could be described as spasmodic noise or static. What could cause such global shaking? Notice that the start and end positions, and the "Cretaceous Normal Superchron" have normal polarity.
If the continents were rapidly divided and seafloor spreading occurred quickly, as described in the Shock Dynamics theory (www.newgeology.us), then the geomagnetic field would have been in a state of normal polarity at the time. Reversals would have been momentary oscillations caused by movement of the continents and the formation of mountain ranges. … The energy of earthquakes nowadays is minuscule compared to the energy of the proposed Shock Dynamics event. Rock fracturing during the lateral crush of rapid mountain building throughout the Shock Dynamics event would have been on a colossal scale. … Also, numerical earthquake simulation shows that horizontal motion of Earth's crust across the geomagnetic field generates significant electromagnetic fields by motional induction. … While this effect was calculated from the tiny motion of crust during earthquake slip, its application to continents sliding thousands of miles is reasonable. Such sliding, as described in the Shock Dynamics event, would therefore be expected to produce enormous electromagnetic activity. … {Also} volcanic eruptions can produce vigorous lightning…. Isolated volcanic eruptions have only a local effect. It is interesting to consider the electromagnetic effect of innumerable simultaneous eruptions globally.
There are also sea floor magnetic stripes in the Pacific. Mike seems to think those were made earlier, maybe when Pangaea formed from a previous much larger asteroid impact.
VIDEO OF MOVEMENT OF EACH CONTINENT.
At 7'47" he shows how the Americas separated from Africa & Europe.
At 9' he shows how South America separated from Africa with part of Antarctica, which collided with the rest of Antarctica.
At 9'34" is Asia separating from Africa and India & Australia colliding with Asia etc.
At 10'50" is Europe separating from Africa and the Americas and then moving partly back toward Africa.
At 11'41" Alaska is connected to Siberia near the equator and swings north, and Alaska collides with Canada.
At 14'6" is the East Pacific Rise that was partly run over by North America, raising up the Colorado Plateau.
SOUTH AMERICA CAME TO A SCREECHING HALT.
The Great Brake http://newgeology.us/The%20Great%20Brake.pdf
The quick stop of South America caused a gravity low in the Indian Ocean. The Earth's crust slid over the mantle 2200 km due to the impact by east Africa. The jolt caused crust to subduct deeply under South America and Japan, as his image shows.

ASTEROID SIZE & ENERGY CALCULATIONS.
http://newgeology.us/presentation26.html
Diameter: 90-126 km, or 56-78 miles. A chondrite would have been the larger figure (c. 78 mi.). An iron/nickel meteorite would have been smaller, with the same mass.
That's about the size of each of these places: Connecticut, Delaware, Jamaica, Puerto Rico, Falkland Islands, Gambia, Qatar, Kosovo, Lebanon, Cyprus.
At such a huge size, the asteroid would have easily broken entirely through Pangaea's 20 or 30 mile thick crust.

DATING THE PANGAEA BREAKUP.
http://newgeology.us/presentation30.html
Mike said: "If only two mammoths survived the Flood, was 300 years enough time to build the population of millions that we find buried? Yes. If we use the elephant life-cycle as a model, a 13 year doubling rate would produce a population at least as large as that which was buried. ... The Australasian tektite strewn field also appears to be a post-Flood feature. ... The fallout area fits the Shock Dynamics impact, just north of Madagascar."
So Mike thinks the breakup occurred 300 years after the Great Flood, but I figured it occurred toward the end of the Flood, similar to what Michael Oard determined. The rock strata were deposited during the Flood, then, as the Flood was about to end, the breakup occurred, which formed mountain chains. And as the Colorado Plateau raised up, the Grand Canyon began to erode through it. Soon after the Flood the Ice Age began, but it didn't get severe until about 500 years later. It took that long for the Arctic to freeze over.

NOAH'S ARK ROUTE DURING THE FLOOD.
If the Ark was real, and not just a myth based on the Saturn Configuration, it looks like it must have started out in Europe. Before the breakup of Pangaea, there were 4 or 5 months of flooding with tsunamis about every month caused by tides from the Moon, when it was apparently on an elliptical orbit that brought it close enough to Earth to cause tsunamis. Baumgartner and maybe others figured that the tsunamis were a kilometer high, but they could have been much smaller, because Pangaea had no mountains, just hills. So tsunamis didn't need to be very high to flood the land. But the thickness of each megasequence of rock strata probably determines how high the tsunamis needed to be. I think they averaged a few hundred meters, so it might have required kilometer-high waves to deposit that much sediment.
During those first few months the tsunamis seem to have been moving from east to west, because the sediments were deposited in that direction, or some of them were. So the Ark may have started out in N.E. Asia and drifted toward Europe with the tsunamis. It wasn't till the last or second-last megasequence was deposited that the asteroid impact likely occurred. During the impact the Ark would then have drifted S.E. toward Turkey. Remember, there was flood water over all of the land, except then for the land that uplifted to form mountains and plateaus immediately after the impact. Mike calculated that the Americas and Australia etc moved away at about 150 miles per hour on the impact shockwave. But Eurasia would have moved much slower, first northward, then westward. The flood waters would have remained somewhat stationary as the land moved under them and the Ark would have stayed with the water, so the Ark would have appeared to be moving south and east with respect to the land. The Ark must have been in Turkey already when the mountains started to uplift beneath it.
ANOTHER BAD TIME FOR LIVING THINGS.
While Noah's family were whiling away the time and the baby animals aboard the Ark were perhaps in hibernation, most living things were gradually being drowned and buried under tons of sediment, which caused many of them to fossilize. Plants and many small creatures had to stay in one location while flood waters inundated them, but larger animals were able to scuttle toward higher ground. Animals tended to herd together running for safety. Younger and unhealthy animals couldn't keep up with the healthy adults and drowned sooner. But the healthy adults were overtaken too before long. Most animals drowned and suffocated under mud or water. Some were killed by impacts or impact fallout. Some died from effects of volcanic eruptions, earthquakes and maybe hurricanes etc. Humans must have been able to make rafts and boats, so maybe some survived, but most probably did not, due to lack of fresh water and maybe to fearsome marine predators. It was an experience most would not relish. The only creatures that thrived were tiny ones that proliferated in the nourishing flood waters. But they didn't last long. They became sediment themselves forming chalk, black shale etc, hundreds of feet thick over wide areas. Other creatures turned into coal and petroleum etc.
