Big Muddy Speakers Series (Kansas City) hosted by
Healthy Rivers Partnership (www.healthyrive...) in cooperation with
Missouri River Relief and Friends of Lakeside Nature Center
at the Westport Coffeehouse Theater (www.westportcof...)
- Tuesday, June 22, 2015.
Biography: William Gilliland
William Gilliland is an Adjunct Assistant Professor in Geology,
teaching Kansas Historical Geology. He is a Licensed Geologist in
the States of Kansas & Arkansas. He has worked for 35 years in
Kansas as a geologist in a variety of fields. He is currently an
Environmental Scientist Division Of Water Resources,
Kansas Department of Agriculture. He writes "Throughout my
professional career, I have been interested in the interaction
between the people of the State of Kansas and the land that they
have settled. As a part of the Kansas Studies Center, I will have
an opportunity to share with students how geology has developed
and shaped the land that became Kansas, and how plants, animals
and humans have utilized it."

Enjoyed that! Learn a little bit as well! Thanks for putting it up. From 3 to 4 quakes in ten years to 200+ in one year. Man, that can't be a good thing.

I've searched for Lake Superior agates all over Minnesota, Wisconsin and upper Michigan, but the best LSA I ever found was in some landscape rocks at a truck stop in Emporia Kansas. Lol

I had Mr. Gilliland for geology at Washburn University. Very nice man, great presentation. Anyone else here interested in the diatreme volcanism of Kansas? Seems fairly unknown to most.

Is that the Great Rift Valley formed when the Eastern US tried to stay with South America? Yeah, lots of volcanism from that, and the gravity maps of Kansas, Iowa and Minnesota all show the scar of the rift, its unmistakable.

Isn't it true that Kansas has been under water longer than it's been above?

@truckerenoch8824 4 жыл бұрын

Would a big enough shift in tectonic plates along the New Madrid be enough to restart the mid continental rift, or is that completely dead?

@LardGreystoke 3 жыл бұрын

I would look for it when the continents weld together into a supercontinent roughly two hundred million years from now.

@twotone3471 3 жыл бұрын

The Ozark Plateau has only recently been uplifted @ ~5MY making much of the stress on the fault a product of the ongoing compression of the interior of the continent. For the Rift to reactivate, there would have to be a cessation of stress from the west (Basin and Range expansion) and east (spreading of the Atlantic ocean) which combined squeeze the suture of the failed rift closed currently.

I know of a missing link in the education of geologists. They tell us that our planet Earth has the most to fear from an asteroid impact or volcano eruptions. But when we look at the many horizontal layers that we find everywhere on our planet, we clearly see the effect of a repeating cataclysm. These disasters are mentioned in ancient books like the Mahabharata from India and the Popol Vuh from the Mayans and others. They tell us about a cycle of seven disasters that separate the eras from the world. Certainly, regularly recurring global disasters cannot be caused by asteroid impacts or volcanic eruptions. The only possible cause is another celestial body, a planet, orbiting our sun in an eccentric orbit. Then it is close to the sun for a short period and after the crossing at a very high speed it disappears into the universe for a long time. Planet 9 exists, but it seems invisible. These disasters cause a huge tidal wave of seawater that washes over land "above the highest mountains." At the end it covers the earth with a layer of wet mud, a mixture of sand, clay, lime, fossils of marine and terrestrial animals and small and larger meteorites. Forests that existed are flattened and because of the pressure from the layers on top the wood is changed into coal. These disasters also create a cycle of civilizations. To learn much more about the recurring flood cycle, the re-creation of civilizations and its chronology and ancient high technology, read the e-book: "Planet 9 = Nibiru". It can be read on any computer, tablet or smartphone. Search: invisible nibiru 9

@@garyb6219 Of course, as a scientist you don't trust any ancient text. What can these primitive people have known what you dom't know. Well, I did investigate other sources for the last 15 years and I found abundant and convincing evidence not only for the cycle of natural disasters but also for the most important effect: the cycle of civilizations. Worldwide including many depictions.

@@garyb6219 Thank you for your reply. Planet 9 exists, ask NASA. It is known because there is a celestial body that effects the orbits of the outer planets. It is officially part of our solar system, so it can't be to far from our sun. It will be most probably just outside the Kuiper Belt. And most likely it is observed by the IRAS satellite. You must realize that early 19th century the catastrophism theory was mentioned by Cuvier. About 70 years later Lyell and Hutton came with another theory. This theory got more support but it is still nothing more than an idea, assumption. Not a single fact to proof it. I am very sure because whe have several pictures from the approaching and crossing planet. The last one, on coins, is from just before our era. The world cycles are mentioned in several books and also depicted. The civilization cycle is also depicted. And indeed religions mention this as well. And don't forget Plato.

Stop mining for potash! Monsters are punching giant holes in the ground in my neighborhood and using 40× the water used in fracking, so that "organic" farms can produce higher yields! To be fair, *all* farms use potash, but organic farms rely heavily on it.
