Abstract The underpinning problems of deep-water facies still remain unresolved. (1) Tb, Tc, and Td divisions the turbidite model, with traction structures, are an integral part “Bouma Sequence” (Ta, Td, Te). However, deposits thermohaline contour currents, wind-driven bottom deep-marine tidal baroclinic currents (internal waves tides) also develop discrete rippled units, mimicking Tc. (2) appl...

Evolutionists generally feel secure even in the face of compelling creationist arguments today because of their utter confidence in the geological time scale. Even if they cannot provide a naturalistic mechanism, they appeal to the " fact of evolution, " by which they mean an interpretation of earth history with a succession of different types of plants and animals in a drama spanning hundreds ...

Penultimate Epoch is the Holocene had three-way broad subdivisions (late 11.7KYBP (Year before Present), middle 8.325KYBP, and early 4.6KYBP) based on numerous imprints of geomorphologic, meteorological, ice-core, speleothem, vegetation proxies in nature. Micro-scale ratification epoch, was Greenlandian (11.7KYBP-8.2KYBP), Northgrippian (8.2 to 4.2KYBP), Meghalayan stage from (4.2KYBP 50YBP), c...

Climate predictions produced by numerical climate models, often referred to as general circulation models (GCMs), suggest that by the end of the twenty-first century global mean annual surface air temperatures will increase by 1.1-6.4 degrees C. Trace gas records from ice cores indicate that atmospheric concentrations of CO2 are already higher than at any time during the last 650000 years. In t...

Palaeomagnetism of climatically sensitive sedimentary rock types, such as glacial deposits and evaporites, can test the uniformitarianism of ancient geomagnetic fields and palaeoclimate zones. Proterozoic glacial deposits laid down in near-equatorial palaeomagnetic latitudes can be explained by ‘snowball Earth’ episodes, high orbital obliquity or markedly non-uniformitarian geomagnetic fields. ...
