 What if the both plates are moving away from each other, this is this is two plates moving away from each other and we get there is volcanic activity all along here right mid-atlantic ridge right this is basically new earth being created right and here this did we say we're gonna map conflicts so we're talking geology awesome so check this out check this out map view side view here's map top view sorry top view top view view and side view or profiles and let's call it side view side view okay here's mid-atlantic ridge we're gonna draw the mid-atlantic ridge mid-atlantic ridge is how we're gonna draw this right America over here way over here Africa way over there right so let's put those on Africa America America and I say America because it's not just the US it's South America North America Central America right so Africa sorry you can't read that America plate here's the convection currents of the mantle and the crust is very thin right very very thin right like if you consider the earth right the earth crust is smoother than an apple crust okay so all these mountains Everest and stuff you see if you really compare it to a comparison shrink it down to a size of an apple it's smoother than your typical apple that you pick up from the store right just keep that in mind that's how thin the crust is right so convection currents coming up here and what happens there's a split here right it's like this right so magma comes up and continues to push these things away from each other so new earth is being created here right new earth is coming up volcanic activity ground being created in doing a split right from the top if you let's say here's the ridge right here's the ridge let's say this is the volcanic activity new crust is being formed what's one of the one of the things what's one of the evidences that we have about new crust being formed is linked up with us knowing realizing that the magnetic field of the earth flips right from the north to the south right and magnetic field of the earth flipping is a huge huge huge gigantic enormous right because magnetic field of the earth protects us from solar radiation right from space it keeps everything in it's a shield right magnetic shield right or Borealis and stuff like this right so what the way we know this is this when magma comes up right it's when it's underground it's called magma when it comes up tops called lava right and it's liquid and it has ions in it right charges charged minerals right something that isn't that is charged when it's put on their magnetic field it lines up according to the magnetic field right so when the earth magnetic field let's say in north is pointing up when north is pointing up the new magma the minerals if you look at them they line up this way the north that way and south this way we know that the earth magnetic field flips is because these are called striations if you go over a certain amount of distance right and look at continue looking at the minerals all the sudden the minerals in a certain strip along the first oceanic crust line up in the other direction they're saying north is down what north is down what the f is going on and then you keep on going north is up and then north is down and then north is up right and then north is down goes like this so all along here we see the minerals in the crust of the ocean pointing in different directions right this is crazy cool and I learned about this I learned you know we learned about this in school and stuff like this but here's a story that the same teacher that I had moved from Vancouver to Japan to be in an earthquake here's what he told us he was studying at university in the 1960s he said he was sitting in his class right he was sitting in his class at university and the professor came in and said okay everyone's got their textbooks it goes yeah everyone pulled out there he goes pull out your textbook okay pull out the textbook this is in the 1960s right and he goes okay go go to chapter whatever 5 and all the way to chapter 7 chapter 5 to chapter 7 and he goes tear them out they're like what he goes tear that those pages out tear them out I was like what what do you mean why tear them out this is this is what happened in the 1960s right so when when certain so-called scientists certain people this is by the way vitamins thing in there certain people come and say the road to Rodriguez one thank you very much for the follow when certain people right low IQ people so scientists come out and say the science is settled the science is never settled never settled right so this professor came in 1960s to my teacher in the 1980s right 20 years later he was teaching the stock came in and said tear those pages out and this is the reason right because during World War II okay I believe it was American submarines when they were transversing the Atlantic when they were going across the Atlantic I'm pretty sure other countries did this as well they used to carry sort of metal detectors magnetometers right in the submarines right and when they were trans when they were going across the ocean floor a little bit above it they were measuring magnetism because they were looking for things right maybe other submarines bad ones or good ones or allies or whatever so all of a sudden they were mapping out the Atlantic going back and forward right because the war is here and submarines are here so Americans were doing this a lot right a lot of submarines they were creating all this data right and what happens back then anyway there was a 25 year no releasing of information okay gag order on anything related to the war in the United States that's what the rules said right I'm going by memory gang so look into all this stuff right so it was 25 years of silence everything talks you could nothing being released right so 1960s right mid 1960s go back 25 years you're 1940 1940 1945 right around that period all of a sudden all this data came available right so if you're an earth scientist geologist geophysicist would have looked at this like drooling right they looked at all this data went oh my gosh right make this friendly child friend oh my gosh the earth magnetic field flips why is it flipping oh my gosh all those people that said hey wow look at the coincidence the coincidences Africa sort of fits nicely as a puzzle well America right I wonder what and then there's other places that sort of fit well together wow what coincidences right in the 1960s they found out oh wow there's something called a mid-atlantic trip plate tectonics came into existence the theory of it right and magnetic earth magnetic field flipping link that up with paleontology you get major extinction events when earth magnetic field flips you understand earthquakes better you all of a sudden the door was open right wow we learned so much about the earth just because just because of the data that was released right that was collected during World War two by let's say the allies right and once that information was released our whole understanding of planet earth completely shifted brilliant right brilliant right phenomenal phenomenal
