Since our magnetic poles have changed many times how can we be sure where they were when the volcanic rocks were created & assumed to have been at the equator?

[@sciencetroll6304]

Not quite as inaccurate as you might think. When there's a pole flip the magnetic field basically dies and reforms opposite polarity, but with the poles in the same two places, just north for south swapped. There's undersea places where there's a record of these. Not accurate down to the last few percent, but reasonable.

[@mojondro]

@South Florida Horticulture really???

[@richb2229]

Flipping of the magnetic poles don’t have much influence on this methodology of locating rocks. The magnetic lines of force remain more or less constant even through the flipping process, especially at the equator. There are some effects from the natural wobble of the poles. Which may introduce some small error but even that isn’t very significant at the equator.

[@ralfhaggstrom9862]

But this linear theory completely denies the known fact that the magnetic pole has shifted location throughout geologic history, Thus for example, Costa Rica might have been far closer to the paleomagnetic pole.

[@philipcollins2691]

I agree - it ignores the possibility that the magnetic poles have shifted in the past and are still shifting today - its no use basing magnetic declination in rocks unless there is a base line reference for the position of the magnetic poles throughout time, otherwise its a pointless exercise in geomagnetism !!!!!

[@gigapascal5638]

The shift of paleomagnetic pole is taken into consideration. Actually, that's what those researchers studying paleomagnetism do. If it is just to measure paleomagnetism recorded in rock, even undergrads can do it.

[@russellcampbell9641]

GigaPascal True but I would like to know how they get a base reference with both the geomagnetic poles shifting and continental drift. It smells like they are making assumptions ( that the poles are always generally north and south of the equator and they assume due to geomagnetic rock records that this generalization applies) have no know hard data to truly back up their references. We do know that throughout geologic time that the so called north pole was south and visa versa (geomagnetic flipping and this was long known way before the idiot movie 2012 came out). How can they make their assumptions based on this? I do believe that there was massive icing, but not to the extent that Snowball earth theory allows.

It's a little worrying to think we could have a snowball earth now but I really think the planet evolves just like us so it might be quite different after a billion or two years. Maybe everything stays the same but it changes too. I guess it's all about the gases in the atmosphere. That's what the weather is usually about.

[@richardruby8866]

The Sun and the Earth's molten core are the key roles in the evolutionary course of the Earth. The magnetic field too, but that is driven by the molten core. Volcanoes too, but that's driven by the molten core too. Weather too, especially rain, which is driven by the atmosphere, and so the atmosphere too, but the molten core allows for the magnetic field to protect our atmosphere and allow rain and weather. Otherwise, the Sun's solar wind would blow the atmosphere out into space. The Sun has an effect on the environmental course of the Earth, not only because in an estimated 5.5 billion years, the Sun will come to an end. But also because every billion years, the Sun gets 10% hotter and that is a threat to evolution of life on Earth. On the other hand, the Earth's internal heat came from the formation of the Earth through collisions by small moon-sized asteroids. The surface of the molten region of the Earth cooled quicker, trapping the internal heat inside, making the Earth like a giant pressure cooker. One that had stopped gathering heat just microseconds ago. The pressure wants to come out. The only chance for the pressure to escape not manually is through the vent pipe. Eventually, all pressure will escape and there would be no more heat or pressure inside the pot. Well, with the Earth, the only way the internal heat could escape is through volcanoes. More like leaks on an air compressor. For the amount of force in a volcanic eruption, the same amount of force is lessened in the Earth's interior. In billions of year, the interior would lose so much magma, so much heat, so much pressure, the interior will solidify from the crust deeper and deeper until the rotating inner iron core of the Earth slows in rotation in relation to the rotation of the rest of the Earth, in effect losing its magnetic field, then its air, then its oceans, then life. The moon also plays a role. While the moon orbits the Earth, and the Earth rotates, the Earth's gravitational field rotates as well. The rotating field pulls on the moon, trying to hold the moon from only 1 side of the Earth. But the moon never stays on 1 side of the Earth and the moon does not stay in 1 part of the sky forever, because the moon is too 'heavy' or massive. And the Earth is too 'heavy' or massive for the moon to stop Earth from rotating. Instead, the Earth's rotating field DOES pull the moon hard, trying to hold the moon on 1 side of the Earth and what happens in the process is a 'struggle'. The Earth's weak grip, but there's still some grip- it pulls the moon along the moon's orbital path. Although there's not enough grip for the Earth to hold the moon on one side of the Earth, the small weak grip does pull the moon along the moon's orbital path harder, faster, than the moon could on its own. The slightly faster than usual speed of the moon in orbit causes the moon to escape some of the Earth's gravity. Not enough for the moon to suddenly move away from the Earth, but the moon DOES move away from the Earth at 1.5 inches per year. As the moon moves hundreds of thousands more miles away from the Earth, the difference in grip the two have on each other gradually lessens. Just like how the Earth's strong pull on the moon currently causes only 1 side of the moon to face the Earth and so 1 lunar rotation is equal to 1 lunar orbit, well gradually, as the difference in grip lessens, the difference in the moon's rotation AND the Earth's rotation, gradually lessens. As a result in the process, the Earth will take more than 24 hours to rotate once. Then eventually, 1 Earth-rotation will be days long, then weeks, then months. But before it reaches a year, the grip between the two will be 100% equal. And thereby, the Earth will not pull the moon faster, the moon will no longer move across the sky ever again, and 1 Earth-rotation will be equal to 1 lunar orbit, which will be months long, not 1 month like now. The biggest problem in that whole process will be, longer days and longer nights will be a summer climate during any day of the year, and a winter climate during any night of the year. But unlike now how it is winter in the north and summer in the south and the two are separated by the equator, with the slow Earth-rotation, it will switch from winter back to summer in a fraction of a year. In effect, there will be massive hurricanes caused by rapid climate change. But when the Earth-rotations get weeks long, the 2 hemispheres will have extreme temperatures that we may not survive, at least not without highly modernized underground or home shelter. By the way, the atmosphere and weather always manages to maintain a habitable world, only except for the time it takes to recover. Ice ages for example. But incomprehensible eruptions from beneath like the one that split the giant continent, Pangea into smaller continents could be worse than an ice age. Burning coal in the ground in the region of the eruption, producing methane, an amount equal to 100 times the power of the greenhouse gases have today, higher temperatures than ever, 130 or more, except at the poles, Antarctica being the most likely habitable region. Also not allowing farms to grow. Bad to breathe air. Sunlight much blocked out by the giant cloud around the Earth, but still trapping the heat below the atmosphere. Ice ages are cold, but ice ages like the last one did not freeze down to the equator. And the SNOWBALL EARTH was from a significant seize of volcanic activity after incomprehensible eruptions like the one I mentioned. Eventually, the hot climate ended, but now after so much heat was released from the Earth's interior, significant volcanic activity stalled for so long, rain removed virtually all of the methane and carbon dioxide, causing the Earth to freeze, even at the equator. By the way, the Earth currently orbits the Sun from a freezing distance. Fortunately, the SNOWBALL EARTH will never occur again, because of the industrial revolution. The only ways a sudden ice age could occur without help from the CO2 and methane are from another incomprehensible eruption, or the eruption of a supervolcano like Yellowstone, a smaller but still massive eruption from a volcano like Tanbora did in 1815, and an asteroid or comet impact. All release rock-ash into the atmosphere, covering the whole Earth and it reflects so much light and heat, an ice age occurs. Also if the Sun releases an incomprehensible amount of solar rays, the curves and loops of heat on the Sun, emitted into space all at once and if Earth is in the path, the radiation in the solar rays will penetrate the Earth's magnetic field and blow off an incomprehensible amount of air out of the atmosphere and into space, leading to an ice age due to a significant drop in greenhouse gas in the atmosphere.

[@vudu8ball]

If the magnetic pole is moving around how can the direction of crystals in a rock be used to determine the position of the rock? It could just as well be pointing to magnetic poles at the time of solidification.

[@richb2229]

The magnetic fields of force remain relatively constant even when the magnetic poles flip. An easy way to think of this is that a compass needle would still move, it would simply point in the opposite direction. Also in addition to flipping the magnetic poles wobble. This wobbling potentially introduce small errors in the field lines however it isn’t that great of an error.

No, not really. However the oxygen in the air has activity that is dependent upon it's partial pressure, so the higher percentage of oxygen the more likely fires are, and the hotter they burn. It wouldn't make any difference if the rest of air were nitrogen or argon, for instance.

@@breAnnasmama There's a lot of supporting evidence for the "snowball earth" theory and how it would work. Sure, they really aren't going to know how high the hurricanes made the waves (and in any case, the sea would be cut off until the global glaciation diminished), but the actual theory is based in solid science with a lot of supporting evidence. It's still debated, with differing opinions, but the evidence for it is convincing. And the documentary was clear that this was a theory with supporting evidence (although they did miss covering some significant points here and there, the documentary still didn't do a bad job over all).

[@nyoodmono4681]

Earth froze because of the supercontinents at the pole, together with a faint sun these glaciation were so sever compared to later ice ages. It was not the gases. "No other gasses then methane"? CO2 was still at around 6000 ppm in the Ordovician.

[@13minutestomidnight]

That's a good point. CO2 was still around due to geologic processes. And yeah, otherwise the documentary mentioned weak luminosity from the sun like once only, and didn't mention the position of the supercontinents at all. However, I think the documentary was mentioning the different gas levels to point out the conditions preventing glaciation from also being so severe in much of earth's earlier history, in comparison to how the gas levels affected glaciation later on. That said, they really did miss pointing out that when glaciation wasn't global, regular geologic processes still kept CO2 pumping into the atmosphere, but when the sea isn't frozen over, the sea has a high capacity to absorb CO2 from the atmosphere (and that the rate of absorption is in equilibrium with the atmospheric system). And thus when global glaciation cut off the ocean, CO2 accumulated in the atmosphere alone (cut off from the sea), leading to high temperature differentials, which in turn lead to the break-up of global glaciation. Edit: Aaaand your comment was from over a year ago, which I just thought to check. Sorry about that....Well, if you happen to remember what this was all about...

[@nyoodmono4681]

@@13minutestomidnight Hey! It is nice to come accross older comments ty. " I think the documentary was mentioning the different gas levels to point out the conditions preventing glaciation from also being so severe in much of earth's earlier history, in comparison to how the gas levels affected glaciation later on" The problem i have here is that the opposite was happening already during the Precambrian. We had "the boring Billion" before the Cambrian, CO2 was constantly dropping, becoming a trace gas, luminosity (TSI) was rising as ever, but, hence the term "boring billion", temperature was very stable, the snowball events did not care about CO2 levels. So here you have an evidence that CO2 did *not* affect the temperature and then with the forming of Oxygen and the ongoing clearing of the atmosphere temperatures rose dramaticaly! kzbin.info/www/bejne/h2Kyo5ivjZVgnNk You mentioned the general causation between ocean temperature and CO2 sollubillity. What happens is that CO2 follows temperature, always. The ice age oceans always absorbed all the CO2, ~5000ppm in the Ordovician, ~2000ppm in the permian, and ~1000ppm today, there is no gradual change of severity of ice ages, more of a clear cut between snowball events and our "common" ice ages from the cambrian on and here the simplereason is that the lesser sun allowed these severe snowballs. Your theory of a sollubility cap, that leads to an enrichment of CO2 in the ordovician which then again should end the glaciation seems odd, as if a Henn-Egg question would pop up at the wrong place of time, also demanding a troumendous effect of CO2 when before some other force allowed the ice age to happen in the first place . The CO2 dropped because of the dropping temperatures and the CO2 rises again because of the rising temperatures. From there on it is a miracolous theory of CO2 accelerating this process in a feed back loops, that ends and begins why? To my knowledge the continental distribution is all decisive. We can see this in the permian when Antarctica leaves the southpole, forming Pangea. The result is the hot Mesozoicum (Trias, Jura, Cretacious) which ends with Antactica moving back to the South Pole, starting our current ice age the Quarterian or Cenozoic. We can even look ahead and know that Antarctica will leave the pole once again in ~70 mio years, which will cause the next Hot-House climate. We never need CO2 to explain temperature, in fact there are many contradictions as: -The boring billion and the long term sequestration of CO2 into limestone, without any correlating cooling trend -The Carboniferous where the terrestial Flora evolves, absorbing CO2 drasticly without temperature changes for ~80 mio years -The Jurassic where temperature drops and CO2 rises www.biocab.org/Geological_Timescale.jpg In the ice cores of the last 800k years Co2 follows temperature almost in lockstep. The climate models today show that the lowest CO2 forcings, like the INMC series, meet the observations best. It is currently cooling, why? It feels like we make a mistake which Carl Popper warned us of: Trying to make something (CO2) fit in your theory, whereas neglecting would be the more efficent scientific way and also the less risky to get lost with axiomatical errors being made.

And as far as my understanding goes, the scientific consensus is that this theory is based on convincing scientific theory with significant supporting evidence. Yes, there are disagreements, but that's part of scientific debate. Documentaries like these that show convincing scientific theories and key evidence are doing their job. This isn't a discussion of peer-reviewed journal articles for actual scientists but simply a layman's approach to engage the interests of the general public. Good thing that the opinion of the general public is mostly irrelevant to scientific consensus, because really the majority of the general public are bloody idiots. Well, in the modern West, anyway.

@@johnshilling2221 The reason that you are using the internet is that science brought you technology enough, finance enough, politics enough through the scientific revolution, started ca. 500 years ago when a bunch of people admitted ignorance and were thus able to learn something important when everyone else said or were said that all the important knowledge was in the sacred books or rituals for they held the truth. Since, science holds that admitting ignorance is the key feature and that is why all the scientific theories are fallible: find (and prove) just one mismatch and there goes the theory and another is needed, so science advances. Only religions have dogmas.

Are You saying the climate has been changing long before Man was thought of?

[@octavianova1300]

that's a stupid fucking argument against man-made climate change you fucking cretin. No shit the climate has always been changing. The problem with anthropogenic climate change is it's happening much much MUCH faster than at any point in geologic history. Individual centuries are a blink of a fucking eye in geological terms, and even periods of much slower warming in the past have led to extinction events. Learn some real science before you go talking out your ass.

[@freedem41]

An actual ancestor is never the fossil you find but only related to the fossil you find, as earlier and earlier cases are found it points to an earlier time you can trace those traits. The earliest case known is only the case till you find another even earlier.

These erratic boulders were placed by WATER. The boulders were in a big chunk of ice that floated, water, floods DID displace these 'erratics'. Sure there are rocks and rock debris moved in the ice as the ice melted. Mostly it was built up meltwater being released by an ice plug and the entire body of water was able to scour, change the landscape and carry ice chunks that held large and small boulders.

[@RoughAndWretchedRAW]

A keen advocate for snow ball earth is the worst kind of science teacher you could have because he has already made up his mind and will teach that bias to his students. That will create a generation of consensus but if the theory is wrong then so too is the entire generation. A proper teacher must teach everything without any advocacy so as not to taint future scientific minds.

[@jorgesoto3566]

the sun was smaller, a lot of ice, earth move slowly to the habitable zone , the sun got bigger, ice was converter in liquid water, more water more vapor , more rain. oxygen producers still exist in Atacama desert and other parts of the earth.

[@Cloud-577]

the sun actually would still be small and its impact is irrelevant to snowball earth. The key element here is past earth climate which is said to resemble Venus​ atmosphere; rich in carbon dioxide and methane. The negative cycle of cooling and warming is controlled by lifting and weathering.
