Compression yes, overburden no.
4,400 years not 6,000, you still can't get it together can you Walter.

Reverse faults are brittle expression of shortening, so they occur in rock. How shortly after the deluge do you think? Perhaps you could provide a rough chronology of events.IceAgeCivilizations said:That reverse fault occurred after those sedimentary layers had set up, shortly after the Deluge.
So, let me make sure I'm clear on this... The magma was intruded into soft, wet sediment some 3500 years ago. Large crystals were able to form, despite the pluton having cooled and crystallised impossibly quickly. Several more intrusions occurred, cutting the original pluton. The sediment underwent lithification some time after that and was subsequently fractured. Between all these happenings, the entire region underwent compression and the unlithified sediment was deformed. Presumably the hydrothermal fluid percolated through the fractures last, forming the zones of mineralization - but what was the source of the fluid, if the igneous rock had already cooled? Please, IceAgeCivilizations, include this in your chronology because I'm a little confused.IceAgeCivilizations said:The fracturing could have occurred after the bulk of the emplacement event.
I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that this was a joke. Otherwise I'll expect you to explain just where this quicklime came from and elaborate on how it caused instant lithification.IceAgeCivilizations said:Set up like quick lime, hard rock within weeks.
for the 87th time of asking will you please provide the data to support this contention.At current erosion rates, the ocean basins should have filled with sediments within 80 millions years,
That's about right I think, and rock can form quickly when CaCO3 is involved
IceAgeCivilizations said:when coupled with regional plutonic heating and vertical compaction, some rocks could have formed in weeks
IceAgeCivilizations said:Uh, folding, radial, cracks, I thought you're some kind of geologist. Bend a thin slab of hard rock hard enough, what happens? None of that seen in the folded layers.
This is what you said (my boldface):What vertical loading?
That vertical loading! So what about it?IceAgeCivilizations said:when coupled with regional plutonic heating and vertical compaction, some rocks could have formed in weeks
You most certainly did.IceAgeCivilizations said:Did not.
You replied:Laika said:If the mountains were formed from still-unconsolidated sediment, slump and flow structures ought to abound. Do you have any examples of these?
IceAgeCivilizations said:"Slump and flow structures" are often the foothills of the ranges.
Uh, folding, radial, cracks, I thought you're some kind of geologist. Bend a thin slab of hard rock hard enough, what happens? None of that seen in the folded layers.
Why do hundreds of tribes around the entire world have a world wide deluge account? Maybe they all coincidentally dreamed up the same story? It is amazing that few in the science world will even consider that a world wide flood could have happened simply because of their bias against the Biblical account. How could anyone say that a world wide flood, along with volcanic activity would not be able to raise the montains and rearrange the entire geography of the earth? Has anyone even considered how devasting a flood of these proprtions could be? Just becasue the majority of the scientific community believes the earth to be billions of years old does not mean that it is so. Just take a look at some ancient maps and also all the under water bronze age cities around the globe and you may begin to see just how fast large changes can take place. Before the ice age was too far along the ancients mapped Greenland and Antarctica,(mountain ranges) and by the time it ended bronze age cities were under water. Lets get logical.
