Claim CD750:
Plate tectonics occurred, but catastrophically. Slabs of oceanic crust broke loose and subducted along continental margins. This lowered the viscosity of the mantle, leading to meters-per-second runaway subduction. The earth's magnetic field rapidly reversed several times. Steam caused a global rain. Flood basalts erupted. The lighter mantle material of the new ocean floors made them rise, causing the oceans to flood the continents. The flood carried and redistributed sediments. The process slowed almost to a stop when nearly all the old ocean floor had been subducted. Subsequent cooling of the ocean basins caused them to sink to where they are today.
プレートテクトニクスは起きたが、カタストロフィックに。海洋地殻のスラブが緩やかに壊れて、大陸縁辺部に沿って沈み込む。これがマントルの粘性を小さくして、秒速数メートルのrunaway subduction(超速の沈み込み)を起こす。地球の磁場が急速に複数回、反転する。蒸気が地球全域に雨を降らせた。洪水玄武岩が噴出した。新しい海底のマントルの軽い物質が持ち上がり、海洋が大陸に洪水を起こす。洪水は堆積物を運んで別の場所に堆積させた。ほぼすべての古い海底が沈み込んだところで、この過程は減速して停止した。それに続いて、海底の冷却により、海底は現在の場所に沈んだ。
