BEFORE THE DEEPWATER OCEANS Before the Permian extinction planetary surface was equal to the surface area of the continental landmasses, the lithosphere draped the planet in an unbroken rocky shell stretched flat by internal pressure from transformation of electrons and positrons into atoms and punctuated by volcanos which relieved internal pressure and thickened the lithosphere by volcanic eruptions.
Earth and Mars were equal in mass and surface area and in geosynchronous orbit with equal rotational/orbital periods and axial tilts halfway between their present solar orbits. Titanium deposits, only on the near side, suggest heating by atmospheric friction before the moon knocked Earth out of geosynchronous orbit with Mars releasing the planets on trajectories into new solar orbits closer to and further from the sun.
A map of the titanium abundances on the Moon’s near side indicates extremely high concentrations compared to terrestrial rocks. We mimicked the high-Titanium basalts using high-temperature experiments clearly demonstrating how the melt-solid reaction is integral in understanding the formation of these unique magmas.
The impact caused the Permian extinction, shattered the lithosphere creating the sea bed of the Pacific Ocean, which has been spreading for 250 million years. The Atlantic Ocean was created 65 million years ago when a meteor shattered the lithosphere near the Gulf of Mexico separating the Americas from Eurasia. OCEAN SPREAD RATES/MILLION YEARS Spreading of the deep water oceans has increased planetary mass tenfold and surface gravity has increased 2.5 times as

The Kori bustard (Ardeotis kori) is widely recognized by scientific institutions like the Natural History Museum as the heaviest living bird capable of flight, with large males weighing up to 19–40 kg (40–88 lbs).
The largest known flying animal in Earth’s history by weight is the giant azhdarchid pterosaur Quetzalcoatlus northropi, which weighed an estimated 200 to 250 kg (440 to 550 lbs). In humans and bovids, cortical bone has been evaluated to withstand maximum stress. Hence, within the context of comparable loading regimes, the mechanical state of each sauropod model examined suggests that all skeletal pedal postures would most likely have resulted in mechanical failure (e.g., stress fractures).
This state would have been intensified when subjected to repetitive heavy loadings, as would be expected during normal locomotion, ultimately resulting in fatigue fracture in all digits. Being unable to support or move properly, the high probability of mechanical failure would have had a substantial impact on the animal’s survival. FIVE LARGEST FLYING ANIMALS 1.

The Siberian Traps were an immense episode of flood-basalt volcanism that occurred about 252 million years ago near the end of the Permian Period. lava poured from thousands of long fissures across what is now Siberia over several hundred thousand years. The eruptions produced an estimated 3–5 million cubic kilometres of basaltic lava, enough to bury an area the size of Australia beneath successive lava flows that reached several kilometres in thickness in some places. |
