SUPERVOLCANOES

Caused by Rapid Continental Drift Late in the Flood

Some of these papers take a lot of work to complete and it gets tiring working on them, so I'm experimenting on finding more fun ways to do such papers. For now I'm thinking of posting just part of a paper, then work on it some more, revise the paper with the additions, post again, and repeat the cycle until complete.

NMFT: RAPID CONTINTENTAL DRIFT

For this paper on Supervolcanoes, I'm thinking of using material mainly from "A new magnetic field theory and Flood model {NMFT} — part 1" at https://creation.com/images/pdfs/tj/j26_2/j26_2_57-62.pdf. This part says the Earth's mantle was somehow heated up during the Great Flood and much of the mantle heat entered Earth's outer core and melted it. It says the core was all solid initially and was a permanent magnet, so Earth's magnetism was originally much stronger than now, because the melting of the outer core reduced the magnetism. I guess the author is attracted to the heated mantle idea because of thinking that it may explain rapid continental drift during the Flood and maybe the magnetic stripes on the ocean floor etc.

GEOMAGNETISM

But I don't think that's right. I think Charles Chandler's explanation of Earth's magnetic field is the best. It's called GEOMAGNETISM at http://qdl.scs-inc.us/?top=10862. He figured that stars and planets form from intra-galactic filaments, which implode and form electrical double-layers internally, and the different opposite-charged layers form competing electromagnetic fields, so whichever layer is stronger determines which pole is north and which is south. That would explain the magnetic stripes on the sea floors. He referenced a paper called "Electromagnetically driven westward drift and inner-core superrotation in Earth’s core" at https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.1307825110 , which supports his model.

RAPID CONTINENTAL DRIFT

Again, I don't think mantle convection is what pushed the continents apart during the Flood. I think Mike Fischer at NewGeology.us is right, that an asteroid strike on Pangaea broke it up and caused rapid continental drift of the Americas, Australia and Antarctica. It was only the continental crust that slid over the mantle. It wasn’t the whole mantle that circulated and moved the continents.

NMFT NUGGETS?

What I want to find out in that NMFT or New Magnetic Field Theory and Flood Model is if any of the data in the paper can provide helpful info. It shows that the islands of Hawaii go from youngest to oldest going from east to west. Below I have an image of Idaho Supervolcanoes which also seem to go from youngest to oldest from east to west. I think the Idaho supervolcanoes erupted one right after another within minutes or hours as North Amrerica was over-riding the east Pacific Rise. So the 'hot spot' was likely on that Rise.

POSSIBLE SOURCES

So following are some articles & papers I'm looking into to try to help explain supervolcanoes. A bunch of them are by Charles Chandler. I may not need all of them. And I might have to look at other papers too, maybe including some of my earlier ones.

ORIGIN OF EARTH'S RADIOACTIVITY cataclysmicearthhistory.substack.com/p/169-origin-of-earths-radioactivity

SEAMOUNTS

ANTAR SLIDE http://newgeology.us/presentation44.html . This suggests that sea mounts on the sea floor formed when proto-Antarctica slid from near present-day Japan all the way across the Pacific Ocean floor to South America near the south pole. It wasn't until late in the Flood that the western part of Antarctica was shoved away from Africa and connected with east Antarctica and both landed at the south pole.

See the two parallel lines of dots that start near Japan or Hawaii and extend south and then east toward southern South America. That may be where proto-Antarctica slid, due to being hit by the Pangaea asteroid or something like that (before life began on Pangaea).

NEW MAGNETIC FIELD THEORY & FLOOD MODEL (NMFT)

For now I'll just copy the first few paragraphs from the online paper. I expect I'll edit them later.
A new magnetic field theory and Flood model — part 1 https://creation.com/images/pdfs/tj/j26_2/j26_2_57-62.pdf

This paper proposes that the interior of the pre-Flood earth was cool and accelerated radioactive decay during the Flood year rapidly heated the mantle, causing rapid whole-mantle convection currents which drove a major plate tectonic event. Before the Flood, Earth’s core was likewise cool and completely solid, and also well below its Curie temperature, enabling it to retain a permanent magnetization. During the Flood, the core began heating and melting from the outside inward—a process which continued for thousands of years after the Flood, as heat from the mantle was transferred to the core, primarily via radiation from the mantle and convection in the melting outer core. As the core melted after the Flood, the originally strong magnetic field gradually weakened as the core progressively lost its permanent magnetization.

Creation scientists have recently made a very exciting scientific discovery; there is now objective evidence for accelerated nuclear decay in the 'recent past', 'only' thousands of years ago. Many independent lines of evidence exist to demonstrate the reality of this accelerated decay, including the following two: 1) helium retention in zircons,1 and 2) the formation of 'orphan' polonium radiohalos.2

Helium retention evidence

As radioactive elements decay, they often emit particles. One type of decay (alpha-decay) emits a particle that consists of two protons and two neutrons5 a particle identical to the nucleus of a helium atom. When the concentration of this radioactively produced helium in a given crystal is compared to the rate at which it leaks out, the historical rate of radioactive decay in the crystal can be objectively determined. Secular scientists believe that the rates of radioactive decay seen today have been constant over billions of years. If that is true, then most of the helium produced by that decay would have leaked out of the crystal lattice by now, based on observed rates of helium diffusion. However, if in the recent past radioactive decay had been greatly accelerated, then much of the helium produced would have remained in the crystal. What creation scientists discovered was that, indeed, most of the helium produced has remained in the crystal, providing strong evidence for recent accelerated nuclear decay.3,4

https://thecreationclub.com/crystals-and-clocks-evidence-for-accelerated-radioactive-decay/ {That’s a diagram of a zircon crystal with originally some uranium in it that decayed 8 times to form lead and 8 helium atoms. Helium should escape from those crystals in not a long time, like it eventually escapes from helium balloons, but the crystals still have quite a bit of helium, which means they’re not very old, like not over 8,000 years old.}

Polonium radiohaloes

When some radioactive isotopes decay, they give off alpha particles that damage the crystal structure a certain distance away from the decaying atom, which varies depending on the energy of the emitted alpha particle. So when a small quantity of a certain radioactive isotope is concentrated in a very small space, this radiation damage forms a concentric sphere around that radioactive point with a radius that is consistent with the alpha particles emitted. And since each radioactive isotope emits a particle with a different energy, the radius of that radiohalo enables scientists to determine the isotope that created it. Sometimes scientists find radiohaloes of polonium, which is an isotope with a very short half-life, but it seems to only be formed as the decay product of uranium. This has been a puzzle for scientists, but recently a model has been proposed that seems to account for the formation of these orphan polonium radiohaloes during the Flood, when water transported the polonium from a nearby pocket of uranium to a single point that was a fissure in the cooling rock. This water transport could only take place after the rock had cooled sufficiently for the radiohaloes to form (assumed to be 150o C) , but would have ceased once the rock cooled to the point that heat would no longer be causing the water to move, so there was a narrow, approximately 1Lweek (maximum window during which about 100 million years of uranium decay would have had to take place in order for these polonium radiohaloes (figure 1) to form.5 Interestingly, this provides a way to estimate the 'rate' of decay acceleration during the Flood, roughly 15 million 'years' of decay per day. At this rate, all of the radioactive decay that we see throughout the solar system (~4.6 billion 'years' equivalent) could have taken place during the Flood year.6

MEGALIGHTNING

I was hoping the paper would have a good explanation for what caused accelerated radioactive decay, but it doesn't seem to. I did a paper on the Origin of Radioactivity previously. I should probably include Walter Brown's statement about lab findings that show high ionization of elements causes rapid radioactive decay. So I think that's the actual cause, but I haven't found what most likely caused the high ionization. I ruled out sliding continents as the cause. I'm wondering if NMFT could be right, that radioactive elements on the continents came from the Earth's mantle many kilometers below us. And how would radioactive elements form in the first place? They seem to form on the Sun by electrical fusion in megalightning, and there may have been megalightning within the Earth or coming from asteroids, comets, or planets that came close to the Earth.

I think this diagram for the pre-Flood Earth (on the right) is wrong, as I said above.
