I found evidence for a giant elliptical Impact Crater with the dimensions of 1270 x 950 km on the Arctic Ocean floor. This Impact Crater must be responsible for the Permian-Triassic boundary ≈ 253 million years ago, which caused the worst
mass extinction in Earth’s history. The impactor, a comet or asteroid with a diameter of 60 to 200 km, collided with our planet at a very shallow angle, of less than 8°, with a relative low impact velocity of around 8 km/s and a resulting low
impact pressure of mainly < 5 GPa. The Ejecta of the PT-Impact caused many large Secondary Impact Craters and -structures in Europe and worldwide. These Secondary Craters are important for the world's Mining Industry. In Europe
up to 20 large Secondary Craters were caused. A simulation shows a close correlation between the topography of the assumed PT-Impact Crater and the topography of a simulated elliptical crater that was created under similar conditions. .

Abstract :
There is evidence for an enormous elliptical impact crater with the dimensions of 1270 x 950 km in the ocean floor of the Arctic Ocean. This elliptical impact crater and the dynamic effects of the ejected material
have formed the sea basin area below -3000m in the Beaufort Sea and triggered an expansion tectonics process. This impact crater seems to be responsible for the Permian-Triassic boundary ~253 million years ago,
which has caused the biggest mass extinction in Earth’s history. The Permian-Triassic (PT)-Impact Crater was formed by an oblique impact. This means that the impactor, an asteroid or comet in the diameter range
of probably 60 - 200 km, collided with Earth at a very shallow angle, of probably less than 8°, with a relative low impact velocity of around 8 km/s and a resulting impact pressure of probably < 5 GPa for most ( > 90% )
of the excavated and ejected material, which makes it difficult to provide mineralogical evidence ( shock metamorphism ) to proof this global impact scenario.
A computer simulation shows a close correlation between the topography of the assumed P/T-Impact Crater and the topography of a simulated elliptical impact crater that was created under similar conditions.
The PT-Impact Event caused a butter-fly shaped ejecta blanket which covered the majority of the northern- and southern hemisphere. Within the boundaries of this ejecta blanket many large secondary impact craters
were formed by the ejecta, with crater diameters of up to 450 km. Please also read Part 2 of my hypothesis, where I describe many of the secondary impact-craters and -structures in more detail, which were caused by
the PT-Impact Event. In Europe up to 20 large secondary craters were caused. In India a secondary impactor produced a 450 x 380 km elliptical crater which formed the Bay of Bengal. Similar large secondary craters
were caused along the NE-coast and on the NW-coast of Australia and in South-America. And in Africa four extensive impact crater chains were caused. The impulse of the PT-impact and the impulses of the ejecta and
secondary crater impacts, which were produced by the ejecta material, caused a global fracture pattern on Earth’s crust that was the trigger for the break-up of Pangea and a global expansion-tectonic process which is
still going on today. The topographic map and ocean floor age map of the Pacific Plate provide further evidence of the PT-Impact Event and the resulting expansion tectonic process caused by the PT-Impact Event.

The Permian-Triassic Impact Event caused Secondary-Craters & -Impact Structures in Europe
The large secondary -impact craters & -structures found in Europe & Africa were caused by Ejecta Material that was produced during the Permian Triassic (PT)-Impact Event in the Artic Sea
which formed the 1270 x 950 km elliptical PT-Impact Crater. The rock material which was excavated from Earth's crust during the impact , together with large fragments of the impactor, is the
ejecta material that caused many large secondary craters & impact structures on Earth. It probably had a velocity of slightly less than 8 km/s, and a resulting impact pressure of probably < 5 GPa
for most ( >90% ). Even if the expected low impact pressure of the PT-ejecta material makes it difficult to provide the mineralogical evidence for the described global impact scenario there are a
few sites in Europe where mineralogical evidence of the PT-Impact Event can be found.
In Europe and Africa powerful Ejecta Rays from the PT-Impact Event caused secondary impact crater chains with crater diameters of up to 200 km. The tracks of these crater chains are clearly
visible on different gravity anomaly maps, which show the reduced thickness of Earth’s crust in these areas ( > blue areas ). It is clearly visible that these Ejecta Ray tracks intersect at a certain
point which was the impact location of the PT-Impact at the time of impact. The outline of Italy is a direct result of these crater chains as my drawings indicate. Some large fragments of the
impactor or of the ejected material caused another secondary impact crater chain along the NE-coast of Australia ( ► Cape York Impact ), which is a further proof for the crater-chain hypothesis.

Summary
There is evidence for an elliptical impact crater with the enormous dimensions of 1270 x 950 km in the Beaufort Sea near the north-coast of Alaska- This impact crater seems to be responsible for the Perm-Triassic boundary, which has caused the most severe mass extinction in Earth’s history, around 253 million years ago.
The impactor, an asteroid or comet in the diameter range of probably 60 to 200 km, collided with our planet at a very shallow angle, of probably less than 8°, with a relative low impact velocity of around 8 km/s and a resulting impact pressure of probably < 5 GPa for most (> 90%
) of the excavated and ejected material, which makes it difficult to provide mineralogical evidence ( shock metamorphism ) to proof this global impact scenarioThe PT-Impactcaused a gigantic ejecta blanket with two large ejecta wings which covered the majority of the northern hemisphere. Within the boundaries of this ejecta blanket many large secondary impact craters were formed by the ejecta, with crater diameters of up to 450 km. In Europe ( in the mediterranean area ) at least 8, but probably up to 20 such large secondary craters were formed by the impacting ejecta.
Satellite View of the Impact Site in the Arctic Sea the Tectonic ( Topographic ) Map of Italy indicates two large Craters
These impact craters and the resulting large-scale lithospheric flow probably were responsible for the tectonic development of Europe during the last 250 Ma.
Two of the assumed secondary craters ( Æ160 & Æ220 km ) formed the Tyrrhenian Sea north of Sicily (Italy).
The main impulse of the PT-impact, together with the impulses and secondary craters, produced by the ejecta material, caused a global fracture pattern on Earth’s crust, which was the trigger for the break-up of Pangea and a global expansion tectonic process. This expansion tectonic process caused the dichotomy on Earth, the formations of continents and ocean basins. And it is responsible for the transport of large amounts of volatiles from Earth’s mantle to Earth’s surface. The slow expansion of Earth was caused by abprupt decompression of Earth’s mantle, which must have led to the large-scale expansion of volatiles, especially H2O (water), in Earth’s mantle. The expansion of volatiles in Earth’s mantle was responsible for the massive transport of magma and volatiles ( especially H2O ) to Earth’s surface.
The ocean basins, which represent new surface area of our planet and which formed between the old crust fragments ( the continents ), continuously filled up with water (H2O) over the last 253 Ma. This water was, and still is, transported from Earth’s mantle to Earth’s surface through the fractures caused by the PT-impact, and through the Mid-Ocean Ridges were the new surface area of Earth (the ocean floors) is continuously created.
In the same way as the water was transported to the surface of our planet Earth, and in the same way the expansion tectonics process was initiated on Earth it happened on other planets and moons of our Solar System. There is evidence for other powerfull global impact events which occured on the planets Venus, Mars and Pluto, on Earth’s moon, Jupiter’s moon Ganymede, on Saturn’s moons Iapetus and Enceladus, and on Pluto’s moon Charon. These global impact events, which are all described in more detail in my study, in all probability happened within the last 300 million years !
The best examples for global impact events, which triggered a global expansion tectonic process, can be found on Venus, Earth, Mars and on the Jupiter moon Ganymede. The most obvious global expansion tectonics is visible on Jupiter’s moon Ganymede.
And the most obvious example of a global impact event, which caused a global fracture pattern, is certainly Mars ! The perfect linear arrangement (chain) of the three nearly identical shield volcanos Arsia-, Pavonis-, and Ascraeus Mons, which are actually three Æ 400 km impact craters with a later formed shield volcano on top, are a first strong indicator for a global impact event.
Another evidence is the 2400 km long nearly perfect linear crack ( fracture ), which was caused by the strong impact impulse of the ejecta.from these three craters.
This 2400 km long impact-related linear crack, which is better known under the name “Valles Marineris”, will provide another important proof !
Valles Marineris will provide the best proof in our solar system, that expansion tectonics is real and that it is driven by abprupt decompression of the mantle, which causes large-scale expansion of volatiles in the mantle, especially H2O. And it will provide proof that the water in the Oceans of Mars and Earth has its origin in the mantle of these planets !
What astronomical event could be responsible for a period of global impact events in our Solar System ? What astronomical event has sent all the large impactors on a collision course with the above mentioned planets and moons ?
Indeed, there is indication that a powerfull astronomical event, which is going on, in and around our Galaxy, is responsible for these global impact events and the periods in which gigantic debris streams crossed our Galaxy and the spiral-arm in which our Solar System is located in !!
This event is the periodic collision of the Sagittarius Dwarf Galaxy (Sgr-DG) with our own Galaxy ! There were already at least two such collisions in the distant past, the first one at 1.9 Gyr before present, and the second one at 0.9 Gyr before present. And the last (third) collision is still going on at the moment !
There are also periodic impact cycles (extinction cycles) noticeable on Earth with a length of 20 Ma and which occur precisely every 62 +/- 3 Ma. These impact cycles, which left clear evidence in the fossil diversity ( fossil record ) of our planet, in all probability are caused by a debris accumulation along the central plane ( galactic plane ) of our Galaxy. Our solar system is periodically moving up- and down through the central galctic plane of our galaxy. This vertical (up- & down) oscillation of our Solar System about the central galactic plane has a period of ~ 66 +/- 6 Ma, which is in good agreement with the mentioned 62 +/- 3 Ma impact cycle (extinction cycle) on Earth. That’s why it is logical to assume that a thin disk-shaped accumulation of debris (asteroids, comets, dust) located in the galactic centre plane must be the cause of the 62 +/- 3 Ma impact cycle on Earth.
But back to the Perm-Triassic (PT)-Impact : The main impulse of the Perm-Triassic (PT)-impact on Earth initially caused a break-off of the Angara Craton from the Russian Craton and it caused a strong acceleration of the Angara Craton towards South, were China and Australia were located. The following powerful south-ward movement of the Angara Craton then caused the HP & UHP orogens in China, through strong compression which it produced in crust fragments caught between the North China Craton & the Angara Craton. This dynamic process also led to the formation of the Altaid magmatic fronts
In the NE & NW of Australia, off the coast, two exceptional large craters with 350-400 km diameter can be indentified, which both seem to be secondary craters caused by ejecta from the PT-impact event. Here especially the Cape York impact crater located off the NE-coast of Australia must be mentioned, because it strongly influenced the tectonic development of the pacific plate through a number of violent magma outbreaks.
Collision of the Sagittarius Dwarf Galaxy (Sgr-DG) with our own Galaxy Gravity Anomaly Map1 - Cape York Crater - Gravity Anomaly Map 2 ( manipulated ) Ø 840 x 630 Pantanal Crater ( South America )
There seems to be a close connection of the Cape York crater with the PT-impact event. And at least three gigantic magma outbreaks can be assigned to the Cape York crater, which probably occured all within the last 60 to 70 million years.
Along the NE-coast of Australia there are other secondary impact structures noticeable. But these impact structures seem to be caused by the large Cape York impact crater, e.g. a probable 30 km crater in the Mt. Warning area, and a 8 x 7 km oblique impact crater in the Warwick area.
The second large crater ( diameter 400 x 350 km ) located off the NW-coast of Australia seems to be responsible for the ejection of large amounts of ejecta rich in Platinum-Group elements, which was distributed in a ray-like pattern over the Yilgarn Craton. The gravity anomaly map of Western Australia clearly indicates these ejecta rays. A dense accumulation of this assumed ejecta material can be found in the Kalgoorlie-Coolgardie-Kambalda area.
The crater off the NW-coast of Australia also seems to be responsible for the separation of Australia from India in the time period 150-250 Ma ago. The gravity anomaly map shows two large cracks in Earth’s crust which have their starting point in the center of this large crater, and which were caused in all probability by the two ejecta wings of this oblique impact event which formed this crater.
Other possible secondary impact craters, caused by the PT-impact event, seem to be located in India, in Arabia and in South-America.
Here the 450 x 380 km elliptical crater identified in India, which formed the Bay of Bengal, seems to be related to the large crater off the NW-coast of Australia. And the chain of secondary impact craters, found on the gravity anomaly map of Arabia, must have caused the separation of Arabia from Eurasia.
This chain of impact craters seems to be responsible for the formation of the large oil- & gas-fields in the impact area, which includes the Arabian Peninsula, Iraq and Iran.
Another large elliptical crater with a diameter of 840 x 630 km , found in South-America, which can be identified on topographic maps and on satellite images, may also be related to the PT-impact event. However it is not clear if it is another extremely large secondary crater caused by ejecta from the PT-impact or if it was formed by a different impactor, or by a part which broke off from the main impactor just before the PT-impact event occured. The special feature of this impact crater is a good visible 30 km wide solidified magma stream which originates precisely in the center of this crater. This magma outflow may be responsible for the formation of the Central Atlantic Magmatic Province (CAMP).
On the gravity anomaly map of Africa another large elliptical impact crater with the diameter of 1200 x 850 km can be identified. This crater is located in the Congo area and it seems to be responsible for the formation of the Congo Basin. It is a quite complex impact crater which was formed by > 10 impactors. Because of the assumed impactor direction and an assumed age of < 200 Ma this impact event doesn’t seem to be related to the PT-impact. However it seems to be responisble for the final break-up of the supercontinent Pangea, in particular it seems the impact initiated the final separation of Africa from North- and South-America. !
Another impact event in Africa, which must be mentioned here, are four chains of impact craters ( probably > 10 craters per crater chain ! ) with craters in the Ø 150-250 km range, which in all probability were caused by strong ejecta rays resulting from the Permian Triassic Impact Event. The four ejecta rays all meet in one point, which in all probability represents the original position of the PT-Impact Crater ( in Siberia ) at the time of the impact, in reference to the African Plate.

Epilogue
All the new impact craters discovered during this study should lead to enormous metal-ore deposits in the crater- and ejecta-areas and these impact craters should lead to new oil- & gas-fields with more than 600 billion barrels of estimated oil-reserves, and with more than 300 trillion cubic feet of gas-reserves ! (à at a ~50 % success rate ). Especially the crater chains R1 to R4 and the CIC which are located on or near the African Continent, will contain a large share of these impact related oil- & gas-reserves. Because at least 50 ≥ Ø150km craters are located within the crater-chains R1 to R4 and in the Congo Impact Crater on the African Continent.
The expected reserves in this areas alone should exceed 400 billion barrel oil & 200 trillion ft3 of gas.
I now want to mention an interesting discovery on Mercury. See image below.
The image shows the Ø 80 km Basho Crater on Mercury. The low-reflectance material (black) which is surrounding the crater is a form of carbon called graphite. The scientists believe it was excavated by the impact from the planet’s original, ancient crust which lies deeper.
It is thought that Mercury was once covered by a crust composed of graphite, when much of the planet Mercury was still molten.
An alternative explanation would be that the carbon was brought-in by the impactor itself, for example if the impactor was a carbon-rich comet.
This would be my first guess when I look at this image. However an origin from within Mercury ( from Mercury’s mantle ) is also possible.
I mention this discovery for the following reasons :
1.) In all probability the PT-impactor was a carbon-rich comet with a diameter of ≥ 50km.
2.) Lengai Volcano located in Tanzania within the strong ejecta ray R4 is erupting Carbonatite Lava,
Carbonatites are formed essentially of carbonate.
Because the distribution of carbonate rocks in Europe seems to be closely related to the impact event in Europe, caused by PTI-ejecta, it must be considered that the carbonate which formed the carbonatite lava originates from the PT-impact.
3.) The 12 km “Kola super-deep borehole” showed that at a depth > 7 km the rock in Earth’s crust is saturated with Hydrogen ( H2 ) and H2O which originates from deeper sources in the mantle !
Therefore we must take into consideration the possibility that certain amounts of the hydrocarbon reserves found close to impact structures could be a result of the thermochemical processes which are going on during & after the impact event ! ( à especially the gas reserves ( CH4, C2H6 etc. ))
Scientific proof for a possible secondary crater :
There are still many other large-scale impact structures on Earth which need to be properly analysed, in order to figure out the correct tectonic model for Earth before & after the PT-Impact Event
e.g. the East- & West-Warburton Impact Basins. à see image below
à There are two craters which formed the East- & West Warburton Basins approx. 300-360 Ma ago ( estimated diameter Ø 100-200km each )
Weblinks : News Article 1 , News Article 2 , East-Warburton Basin , Eromanga Basin , (Woodleigh Crater)
However this work must be carried out by experienced planetary scientists & geologists now, together with the analysis of all planets and moons
Because we need to know the root causes of all global impact events which took place in our Solar System and we need to find all impact structures !!
After reading this study about global impact events :
What practical measures should be taken ??
1.) The first and most important measure must be the continuation of the research work, regarding global impact events and their causes & effects, which was started with this study here !
Scientists from many different disciplines must take on the challenge to find further evidence for the global impact structures described in this study
2.) Rock samples from all new impact craters and impact structures described in this study ( Part 1-4 ) should be collected and analyzed.
3.) After the confirmation of the P/T-impact crater and related secondary impact structures a new analysis & simulation of the tectonic processes in Earth’s past, in the last 253 Ma, must be done !
4.) Then the cause of the expansion tectonic process, which obviously was triggered by the P/T-impact, must be found. And because there are other planets & moons in our solar system where expansion tectonic processes were triggered by a global impact event, a teamwork of scientists from different diciplines is required.
To find the driving physical / chemical process for the mantle expansion visible on different planets and moons, a close collaboration of planetary scientists, geophysicists, geologists, chemists and physicists ( especially with expertise in fission research and high-pressure / high-temperature material research ) Is required.
5.) A more precise and more detailed computer analysis of the collisions ( pericenter events ) of the Sagittarius Dwarf Galaxy with our galaxy must be done. In all probability debris- (mass) streams resulting from these collisions are the cause of periods of violent global impact events in our solar system ! That’s why it is important to find out the exact composition, extension & the effects of the debris streams, caused by these collisions, on our solar system !!! The starting point of this analysis should be the study from Mr Chris Purcell
Important ! : Especially the effects and the position of the leading tidal tail of the Sgr-DG in the past (-300Ma) & in the future must be studied !!
6.) Because the distribution of metal-ores and energy resources, like crude oil or natural gas in Earth’s crust, is mainly caused and defined by large (global) impact events, knowledge of the precise location and size of all impact craters on Earth is crucial for future explorations of ore deposits, and especially for the exploration and discovery of new large oil- and gas-deposits !!
Good knowledge of all large impact structures on Earth will make a big difference in future explorations, in order to find these important energy- and ore- deposits for mankind !!
Especially the correlation of big impact craters with the formation and the development of large oil-fields & gas-fields must be precisely analysed !! It seems that in particular the impact-related tectonic motion of crust fragments and magma streams, which were created during large impact events, are an important condition for the development of large oil- and gas deposits !! This correlation must be studied & analysed !
Having seen and analyzed the Permian-Triassic Impact and the global destruction which it caused :
THE FOLLOWING WARNING MUST BE GIVEN :
We must consider different worst case scenarios in regards to one or more impactors ( asteroids or comets ) which are on a collision course with our planet Earth !!! And we must find solutions, and build and install suitable defence technology in space, in order to deflect the impactors of all assumed worst case scenarios away from Earth !!!
Possible Worst Case Scenarios to consider !! :
1.) Accumulations of Asteroids and/or Comets with a density like in the Asteroid Belt are approaching from deep space and they are on a collision course with Earth, having velocities up to 100 km/s !!
2.) Up to 10 Asteroids in the diameter range of Ø 10–40 km with velocities of 20-100 km/s are on a collision course with Earth and all are arriving at the same time !! Pre-Warning Time < 18 months !!!
3.) A large Asteroid with Ø 200 km and a velocity of 100 km/s is approaching from deep space ( from outside the solar system !! ) and is on a collision course with Earth. Pre-Warning Time < 2 years !!!
As long as we don’t exactly know what astro-physical processes have caused the global impact events within the last 300 million years, described in this study, we must take sufficient precautions !! in this violent and merciless universe !!
Because if we don’t do so !!, Mankind and most other species on Earth could go extinct within a very short time !!, just like the Dinosaurs !!!
There are already some ideas and plans for the realization of technology to deflect small asteroids.
But every idea or plan which I have seen so far regarding the deflection of an asteroid or comet is far away from being able to cope with one of the described worst case scenarios !!
If we are very lucky we could survive Worst Case Scenario 1.) But only if all asteroids or comets > Ø 10 – 20 km would miss our planet Earth !!
Because we are not able to deflect such large impactors yet !!! We just don’t have the required defense capability and technology to do that !!!
I have made an own assessment, and I found a few suitable defense strategies which are able to cope with large impactors, up to Ø 200 km !!
However these strategies only work if the required technology is installed in space (in defined locations in our solar system !) and if we are ready (well trained !!) to use this technology. And it would only be possible to cope with high-velocity Asteroids or Comets ( with velocities >30-40 km/s) if the technology is installed with maximum rocket performance which is possible and if it would be installed on many locations in our solar system !!!
It would probably take at least 20 years to design, build and install such a defense system and it would probably cost ≥ US$ 100 billion !
However if all members of the UNO cooperate in the effort to build such a defense system for our planet Earth, then it shouldn’t be a problem to finance it !!! And it also should’t be a problem to convince the UNO members to invest in such a defense system for our planet Earth !!
Because this is really the only possible insurance against a global impact event and the extinction of mankind and the total destruction of our world !!
And we shouldn’t wait until the devil comes around the corner ! Fast and smart action is required !
How such a defense system for our planet Earth could look like is described in my following study :
à see Weblink : “To the deflection of asteroids in the diameter range of 5 to 200 Km”
(This study will also be available at www.vixra.org soon. Just type-in my author-name in the search field and press enter. Then you will find the study.)
The interested readers should also have a look at the following Wikipedia page :
à Asteroid Impact Avoidance Strategies
The strategies and the technology described in my above mentioned study : “To the deflection of asteroids in the diameter range of 5 to 200 Km” can also be used for doing Terra-Forming on Mars and on other planets & moons
With the described asteroid deflection strategies it would be possible to carry out controlled impacts of asteroids in the 10-20 km diameter range on Mars and on other planets & moons !! In order to produce a crack in the crust of mars similar to the ”Valles Marineris Crack”
Valles Marineris - The Valles Marineris is a deep 2400 km long Canyon ( Crack ) on Mars probably caused by a global impact event
Note : Mars' ocean water came out of this crack here !
An action plan for Terra-Forming on Mars :
In order to create an additional “Second Earth” for Mankind we should perform Terraforming on Mars as quick as possible before the settlement starts !!
With a controlled impact series of probably 3 to 4 asteroids in the Ø 10-20 km range a large crack in the crust of Mars could easily be produced.
Alternatively a few 50 MT Fusion-Bombs located in 10km deep drill-holes can be used to achieve this.
In order to achieve the crack with the smallest possible impactor diameter & energy expense, the optimum area for the intended crack would be the thinnest crust area of Mars. This is in the center area of the northern lowland (à the former ocean floor on Mars ) Here the crust is only 40 km thick !
A large crack in this area should cause large amounts of volatiles ( e.g. H2O ) to rise up to the surface, similar as it happened in Valles Marineris. This would quickly produce a small ocean near the crack and a thicker atmosphere, which would improve the living-conditions on Mars considerably !
Such a Terra-Forming project should first be tested on another planet or moon which is located further away from Earth, and which is not a primary target for human settlements. It could be tested for example on Jupiter’s moon Ganymede..
From the produced crack large amounts of salt-water can ascend from Mars’ mantle and fill up the old ocean basin !
A few words to the dangerous Pacific-LLSVP :
An essential new discovery in comparison to the first edition of my study is the fact that the Pacific Plate and the expansion tectonics process which has formed it, is the result of ≥ 8 gigantic magma eruptions in the west pacific region over the last 200 Ma. These magma eruptions were caused by the Pacific-LLSVP-(ULVZ), which in all probability is a direct result of impacting ejecta of the PTI !
Further new discoveries were the Victoria Lake Impact event, the Canary Islands Impact event, the localization of the “Bay of Lyon” Crater, the correct position & orientation of the Indian Plate, Madagascar and South-America at the time of the PTI-event and some other new interdependencies.
Regarding the described magma eruptions in the West Pacific the following Warning must be given :
With high probability another magma eruption will take place in the west pacific region ! In all probability it will occur in proximity to the Fiji Islands. When it will happen is difficult to say ! Therefore the mantle area below the Fiji region must be examined with seismic tomography in more detail, e.g. the vertical velocity of the magma flow under the Fiji region must be measured ! see Part 1
Note that a new mass extinction, caused by another gigantic magma eruption of the Pacific-LLSVP, can begin at any time ! Within a short time period such a largescale magma eruption could kill up to 60% of all species on Earth ! Like the other eruptions in the past it will cause an oceanic anoxic event ( like the OAE-1a & OAE-2 and PETM ( Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum.), which will release vast amounts of CO2, H2S etc. into the oceans and will kill up to 60% of all marine species. Largescale explosive volcanism with vast amounts of CO2 released will be a result too ( .e.g. see Ajupa Island )
It could begin in a few years, or it may not happen in the next million years. But in all probability it will happen sometime within the next ~5 million years !
A solid column at the top end of the Pacific LLSVP near Fiji, which is located close to the surface, may be an indication of the next due magma eruption !
And there seems to be a connection between these magma eruption events in the west pacific region and the 62 Ma bio-diversity cycle on Earth ( à Extinction-cycle with two half periods of ≈31 Ma )
In all probability some of these violent magma eruptions were triggered by extreme earthquakes, e.g. caused by impact events, like the Chicxulub-Impact in Mexico. Like a punch which triggers an eruption of the contents of a heated Coke-bottle, the shock waves of an extreme earthquake may finally trigger a magma eruption from the Pacific-LLSVP ( à caused by a sudden pressure spike ) !
But to make it clear : We are looking at two different periodic cycles here !
The periodic magma eruptions of the Pacific-LLSVP are caused by thermochemical processes which are going on inside the LLSVP & ULVZ. There seem to be longterm thermochemical processes at work with cycle lengths of 10 - 30 Ma ( million years ).
( à the cycle length seems to decrease over time )
Please note : It may also be the case that a large amount of superheated mantle-water streams out of the Mid-Ocean-Range-crevices before a magma eruption starts, causing in this way climate change and sea-level rise !! see weblink to : à News Article
And the final stage of this cycle, the magma eruption, can be triggered by an outer shock event
The 62 Myr Bio-Diversity Cycle ( or 62 Ma Extinction-cycle ! ) is caused by a precise periodic astronomical event going on for at least 500 Ma !
In all probability it is caused by the periodic crossing of the galactic plane by our solar system every 31 Ma. Every second crossing of the galactic plane seems to be particularly dangerous, because it has produced a worldwide mass extinction every time for the last 8 (62 Ma)-cycles !
6 of this 8 crossings caused a mass extinction each time, killing ≥ 70 % of all marine species on Earth ! Because our solar system moves along a spiral path around the galactic center, at every second crossing our solar system crosses the same ring area of the galactic plane, which in all probability is densely packed with debris resulting from collisions of our Galaxy with the Sagittarius Dwarf Galaxy ( Sgr-DG ).
And to point this out : Our solar-system is currently crossing the galactic plane in this obviously dangerous ring-area ! We know that the last world-wide extinction took place 65 Ma ago !
Therefore the next worldwide extinction event seems to be overdue and can happen at any time ! Maybe we just haven’t passed the dense debris-layer yet !
By the way : This assumed debris-ring ( or debris accumulation ) may be the cause of the Oort Cloud ( à the source area of comets ! ) around our solar system, and the densely packed debris ring(s) in the galactic plane (similar to Saturns ring) may offer an alternative to explain the Dark Matter problem !!
Looking at the other global impact events which I have discovered on the planets Venus, Mars & Pluto, and on the moons Ganymede & Charon, which all indicate orbit inclinations ≥ 40° for the original orbit of the impactors (comets or asteroids),
then it certainly must be taken into consideration that the impactors came from outside our solar system !! à either from the Oort Cloud, or from the assumed debris ring (layer) in the galactic plane !
Because these global impact events probably all occurred within the last ~250 Ma, we must expect large impactors which are coming with high velocity from deep space !
As long as we don’t exactly know the physical process which has caused the global impact events within the last 300 million years, described in this study, we must take sufficient precautions !!
Because we are not able to deflect such large impactors yet ! We just don’t have the required defence capability and technology to do that !
Therefore an asteroid- & comet deflection system must be built which protects our planet !
I have made an own assessment, and I found a few suitable defence strategies which are able to cope with large impactors, up to Ø 200 km !!
How such a defence system for our planet Earth could look like is described in my following study :
See : à “To the deflection of asteroids in the diameter range of 5 to 200 Km”
It will probably take at least 20 years to design, build and install such a defence system and it would probably cost ≥ US$ 100 billion ! But it is our responsibility to build such a system !
It is also our task & responsibility to settle on our neighbour planet Mars as soon as possible, and to establish an independent civilisation on Mars, which doesn’t need support from Earth to survive !
This is the only way to make sure that our advanced technological civilisation will survive in the case of a global impact event on Earth, caused by a large impactor coming from deep space, or in the case of another gigantic magma eruption caused by the Pacific LLSVP !
We may be able to build a defence system against a large impact on Earth. However it’s not possible to build a defence system against a gigantic magma eruption coming from Earth’s mantle !!
That’s why the development of nuclear drives for spaceships must be accelerated. We need much more payload capacity ! Instead of just being able to lift 10 tons into orbit, we need payload capacities of thousands of tons to really make progress in establishing settlements on Mars and on other planets and moons. If we shift our focus to the development of nuclear driven spacecraft we can achieve this within a few decades !
Please note that 10 kg enriched Uranium contain as much energy as thousands of tons of rocket fuel ! We already have enough fuel (enriched uranium) to build hundreds of spaceships with payload capacities ≥ 1000 tons ! The weapons industry worldwide must be redirected to build such large spaceships, and the space-technology which we need for the colonization of Mars, instead of ever-increasing the weapons-piles on Earth !
We must shift our focus !
-----------------------------------------------------------------
At last a few words to our political leaders :
The G20 & UNO must set a new framework, so that “Resource Wars” can’t happen anymore !
Therefore I suggest an Action Plan and a number of Global Regulations with the following goals :
1.) Secure & explore the required resources for mankind far in advance before they are needed !
2.) To define which resources should be extracted first and which ones should be put on hold, in order to minimize the environmental impact of the mining industry, in particular regarding very sensitive natural environments.
3.) Altogether there should be a better longterm planning for a safe and environmental friendly resource exploitation worldwide.
Speculation on commodity markets must be restricted by setting bandwidths for trading !
Commodity prices must be forced into defined bandwidths to provide stability for world’s economy.
A worldwide analysis of all available mineral- and energy- resources and -reserves must be carried out under control of the UNO and G20.
A precise projection of the resource needs for the next 30 years must be done, and a 30 Year plan for food-, water-, energy- and mineral resources supply for mankind must be set up.
Because the next 30 years will be the most challenging time in human history, with maximum resource consumption !
à see Part 4 of my study for further information
4.) Mining industries which are critical for the resource supply for mankind should be under observation and protection of the UNO & UNSC.
( for example the crude oil exploration industry )
5.) More food and energy reserves ( oil & gas ) must be kept in stock ( e.g. during the coming very low sun-spot-cycle minima, in which cold Winters and shortened harvest seasons must be expected !)
( see following links : link_1 , link_2 , link_3 , link_4 )
6.) The population growth in the fastest growing countries must be reduced as quickly as possible with the financial help from the G20 & UNO.
And much more irrigated farmland is required !!
A Top-Down Approach is required to reduce resource consumption ! First it must be defined how much resources can be used over the next 30 years. Then all key-industries must get limits for the use of resources, which they shouldn’t exceed !
We need to refocus !!! We must start many international projects where all members of the UNO & G20 work together to achieve a better and saver life for all people, a healthy environment and in general good & positive visions for mankind !
One of these positive visions must be the Realization of a constant Settlement of Mankind on Mars à realized by the G8, G20, EU and the UNO !
Other important visions for mankind must be : ( à also realized by the G8, G20, EU and the UNO ! )
That we really must get serious Now about the Protection of the remaining Rainforests on Earth, otherwise they will be gone in 10 years !! and with it millions of rare species !! The rich countries must pay compensation to the Rainforest-Countries in order to achieve this goal !
The rainforests are the lungs and filters of our atmosphere, and they reduce climate change !!!
And the species which live in the rainforests ( plants & animals ) contain billions of highly interesting organic substances for mankind, which all have the potential to create great progress for mankind and big profits for the Pharmaceutical- and the Chemical-Industry for hundreds of years into the future !
That’s why it should be a high priority for the big Investment Banks and the world’s Pharmaceutical- and Chemical-Industry to protect the Rainforests !!
The Pharmaceutical- and Chemical-Industry together with Investment Banks and governments should work out contracts in which they agree to pay money to the Rainforest-Countries for the longterm protection of the Rainforests. For this they would get e.g. exclusive rights for the copying & using of interesting organic-substances & molecules found in the Rainforest Species. This will be a Win-Win situation for both parties and for the rainforests !
And we must get serious about removing the plastic waste from the rivers and oceans !!!
The source of plastic waste which ends up in the world’s oceans is plastic-waste which gets dumped in rivers and flood-areas !
This happens especially in highly populated mostly asian countries and in India. The ten biggest rivers in these countries transport ≈ 70-80% of the plastic waste into the world’s oceans !
Especially the monsoon-rain and the following floods transport all plastic waste from the once- a-year flooded areas into the worlds oceans !
To prevent this pollution the authorities in these countries must define dumping-sites for waste on higher flood-save areas, and there must be high penalties for dumping waste elsewhere !! Penalties for poor people who pollute the environment could be that they must help for a week to collect waste.
Cleaning up the oceans with specialized machines won’t work. The task is just to big !!
The root-cause must be eliminated, which is the dumping of waste in rivers and flood-areas !!
It’s high time to get serious on all this tasks !!!
