Colorado plateau

Image above is the Colorado Plateau. This picture shows a large bullseye pattern reminiscent of a complex crater.

PLAYA LAKES

Image above is of the Playa Lakes near Lamesa, Texas. The Playa Lakes are found over a wide range of Texas and in parts of New Mexico. Notice the dotted and parallel linear pattern. These lines point directly towards the Colorado Plateau bullseye and suggests the remnants of distal ejecta.

Grand Canyon

Image above is the Grand Canyon (to the left) and part of the Colorado Plateau/bullseye (to the right). Notice how the feather like appearance of the Grand Canyon on the left becomes constrained to a tight/fine profile on the right. This points out the difference in density and temperature of landmass at the time of impact and during the flood’s carving of the Grand Canyon. The middle of the image would be the boundary line/outer rim of the impact basin.

Monument valley

Image above is an arial view of one of the many tower-like structures throughout Monument Valley at the Arizona-Utah border. The tops of these structures show a cracked surface not visible from ground level. This is just one of many examples throughout the Colorado Plateau that exhibit the telltale signs of thermal shock.

Canyonlands

Image above is “The Needles” in Canyonlands National Park, a more extreme example of the Colorado Plateau’s land features caused by thermal shock.

Arches National Park

Image above is Arches National Park. This is yet another example of thermal shock. What is unique about this site is that it shows how directional flood water worked its way through cracks, creating narrow channels while a vertical, circular motion of crashing water acted as an erosional force on the side walls, thus creating the arches we see today.

Volcanic Fields

Image above is a volcanic map by USGS. What is shown here is the circular pattern of volcanic fields surrounding the Colorado Plateau. An impact of this size would have absolutely had the potential to generate such volcanic activity.

Rocky Mountains

Image above shows the Colorado Plateau bullseye with a part of the Rocky Mountains inside its diameter. In geology, The Rocky Mountains are an anomaly when compared to how mountains usually form. An intense impact, such as this, not only would have sparked volcanic activity, it would have also had the potential to create mountains through earth shaking ramifications.

Terrain map

Image above shows a terrain map by USGS. A regular satellite image of the Rocky Mountains would disguise the top right of the impact basin, but this map shows a completion of the circle.

LA SAL MOUNTAINS

Image above shows the La Sal mountains (three distinct mountains in green) at top center just above the major impact basins central bullseye. This appears to be the remnants of a secondary impact. The mountains are what is left of the impact’s rim. Shock metamorphism has been found at these three sites. This is a less defined possible impact site. Note: Some asteroids have moons, and this may very well be what is left of a smaller piece of space rock as bigger asteroids (especially ones many times the size of Mount Everest) are known to travel with company.

Upheaval Dome

Image above is the Upheaval Dome in the Canyonlands. It’s over 1.58 miles in diameter. At first, it was labeled as only a salt dome, but thanks to the discovery of shocked quartz, it is now a confirmed impact structure. The existence of this crater suggests that it too was part of a group that accompanied a large asteroid. Considering the flood, this impact may have happened somewhere towards the end of the deluge. If it had happened sooner, it would have been completely eroded away like most of the features around it.

Meteor Crater

Image above is of Meteor Crater in Arizona. Its diameter is over .736 miles. Its square-like shape is believed to be “caused by existing regional jointing (cracks) in the strata at the impact site”. However, my research suggests that its square-like shape was due to hitting the Earth when the flood was at its shallowest. Meteor Crater is the most pristine example of an impact structure on Earth. With the great flood covering all North America, we have this virtually untouched crater. This suggests that the impactor was the last of the group to show up. It further suggests that Earth experienced a very major impact that ended the last Ice age, and that an asteroid, not a comet, was the cause.

West coast flood erosion

Image above shows the West Coast of America with Los Angeles at the center. The Pacific Ranges of the west coast originally started from the top of the map all the way south into Mexico without any breakup. What can be seen, is a breached mountain range where Los Angeles is today. The bathymetry off the coast of LA shows where massive amounts of water tore through the mountains and continued further erosion out to sea and down into Baja, Mexico. What is left is the remnants of the lower half of a mountain range.

central and eastern flood erosion map 1

Image above shows the collection point where most of the catastrophic flooding escaped into the Gulf of Mexico. The Appalachian Mountains helped funnel the water into the Gulf and can be seen by the influences in the bathymetry. Off the coast of Alabama and West, is a stepped or choppy erosional shelf. Off the coast of Alabama and East, is a smoother clean-lined shelf with considerably less underwater erosional features.

central and eastern flood erosion map 2

Image above shows the pathway of a great flooding and the erosion of terrain. The dark green highlights areas where the elevation of land is at its lowest. What is revealed in this map is that there appears to be a mega canyon in which the Mississippi flows at the center and out into the Gulf. Additionally, one can see the foot print of an incredible amount of water backed up and rounding out the bottom of the Appalachian Mountains as it continued to flow back up the other side of said mountains and eroding away the East Coast from Florida all the way North to New York.
