TOM,

Thanks for your description of the 'cause of Earth Quakes'. It is an eye opener.                                               For those of you who missed the post, see it below.

Here is my question:

What has caused the Earth's crust to harden and crack?

Here is my theory:

In order to prevent the surface of the Earth from becoming overheated by its magna core,                                               God placed rivers of water near the crust. Water is a cooling agent.

But, just as in an automobile engine, cooling is not enough.

Moving parts need lubrication.

The lubricant for tectonic plates is oil.

Oil was designed to keep the plates supple and flexible.

As oil wells pump oil out of the Earth, the crust dries out.

But there is a benefit.

As the heat from the magna rises we get Global Warming!

We are at the point of no return.

So rejoice folks...

Our oil powered cars, lawn mowers, heated houses and factories, have ruined the Earth.

We are literally sucking the Earth dry.

Indeed... these are the beginnings of sorrows.

Today, when you look at the tectonic plate structure you see thousands of miles of lines between tectonic plates, which represent cracks in the earth that weave their way erratically down through the earth, eventually mdAlan aking contact with great underground lakes of red-hot melted rock called magma.  These geological faults are not the figment of scientific imagination.  They are no longer based on theory or hypothesis.  They have, within the past hundred years, advanced from hypothesis to theory to fact.  They are tremendous cracks in the crust of the earth that have the full potential to fulfill many of the terrifying events in the book of Revelation.  Because these deep geological faults interconnect, they have separated the outer surface of the earth into vast chunks of crust called tectonic plates.  These plates are usually named for the geographical area that lies atop them, and they are responsible for the earthquake and volcanic activity in these areas.  Just as a ship floats on water, so do these vast pieces of the earth’s crust float on deep oceans of hot liquid rock.  They float in slightly different to opposite directions at differing speeds.  Movement is perhaps only a few centimeters every year in some zones, but can be several per year in some places, and, at times, can suddenly move several feet in a local area.  They move to produce over ninety-five percent of the world’s earthquake activity, as well as more than ninety percent of the world’s volcanic activity.  Seismic topography, along with horizontal surface and vertical satellite laser beam measurements, has now proven without question that the plates exist and move to produce most of the world’s earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.  As the plates of the earth press against one another horizontal and vertical tectonic pressures often freeze vast zones together.  As the plates strain against one another in titanic combat something finally snaps, and they break free in a local area.  This abrupt loosing produces the massive vibrations we identify as an earthquake.
