I Feel the Earth Move

....Beneath My Feet


I am not a Scientist, however I do know Heat Expands, Cold Contracts...What time of the Year do Earthquakes mostly Occur, Tropical Storms & Hurricanes, Volcano activity increases (Hawiian Islands / Indonesia), Geysers (Yellowstone Steamboat), Pacific Ocean's Ring of Fire...

...Ring of Fire is a major area in the basin of the Pacific Ocean where many earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur.  In a 25,000 mi horseshoe shape, iassociated with a continuous series of oceanic trenches, volcanic arcs, and volcanic belts and plate movements.  It has 452 volcanoes (more than 75% of the world's active and dormant volcanoes)

The Cascade Arc (Cascadia subduction zone) are a number of volcanoes in a volcanic arc in western North America, extending from southwestern British Columbia through Washington and Oregon to Northern California, a distance of well over 700 miles.

Yellowstone & Area - On average, has approximately 1,000 to 3,000 earthquakes taking place each year. Gysers venting, Volcano phissers venting, hot springs created by ?  The park is contained within the Intermountain Seismic Belt, a zone of earthquake activity that runs north-south, from Montana through Wyoming, Idaho, Utah, Nevada, and Arizona. 

At the Equator, the Earth spins at about 1000 mph, the Earth beneath our feet constantly moves with seismic activity, deep earthquakes or ones closer to the surface, and there are the earths plates the lithosphere, which is the rigid outermost shell of a planet (the crust and upper mantle), is broken into tectonic plates. The Earth's lithosphere is composed of seven or eight major plates (depending on how they are defined) and many minor plates.

Plates which float on and travel independently over the mantle and much of the earth's seismic activity occurs at the boundaries of these plates.

Whether you believe in Gobal Warming is fake or real, or the Big Bang Theory, the Evolution of Our Universe and how the Earth may have been created, question on how the Scientist believe that the Big Bang happened about 13.8 billion years ago.

Is it time to get off the Planet and go to Mar's, out of how many Millions of Planets in the Universe...which has been described as  there could be as many as 40 billion Earth-sized planets orbiting in the habitable zones of Sun-like stars and red dwarf stars within the Milky Way galaxy. 11 billion of these estimated planets may be orbiting Sun-like stars.

To Travel to Mars takes about 300 days, which every two years Mar's is at its closet distance from Earth or about 34,175,415 million miles from Earth.

It is not like you can just rent a moving truck or hire movers before something more drastically happens here on Earth.  

Remember how many of us may remember some of the first Space Movies, Cartoons & Comic's Buck Rogers appears in 1928...one dates to the 1902 film Le Voyage dans La Lune (A Trip to the Moon).

There will always be those who are Pessimistic and the Optimistic.  My thought here is...what would a Planet very similar to Earth, with nothing but Pessimistic Humans, would be like, and would they survive.

Of course you might say the same of a Planet with nothing but Optimistic Humans.  If Animals have become extinct over time, some could blame Human's, or what has been their demise leading to their extinction.  Many will say that's Life...I doubt everything could be blamed on the "Ice Age" 2.6 million years ago.

Geological evidence, theories, etc...show the Earth has experienced five major ice ages...

...and there is the Cretaceous-Tertiary extinction which took place about 65 million years ago.  Paleontologists believed this event was caused by climate and geological changes that interrupted the dinosaurs’ food supply.

However, in the 1980's Scientist discovered a distinct layer of iridium–an element found in abundance only in space–that corresponds to the precise time the dinosaurs died.  Suggesting that a comet, asteroid or meteor impact event may have caused the extinction of the dinosaurs. 

There are Many Theories, and scientific evidence...it is unknown the "Whys and How Come" really occured as proof to provide a more definitive answer.

And look where we are today, what tomorrow will bring ?, is it in our DNA to find out ? or abandoned this world for another of unknowns, the cycle continues.  

Are we really the only Life in the Universe, Solar System, and the Infinity of Space  ∞   If Space is Infinite, and through travel reached an End, how thick is that End and what is on the Other Side...shall we continue ?
