What is an "ice age?"

[LaDexter]

How do you know it was within 600 miles?

Charting the exact location of past tectonic plate movement is inexact science to be sure, as the land itself mutates along the way. The Arctic Ocean is also growing, so it was smaller the further back in time. The 600 mile mark today is close to Ellesmere Island, which is still in ice age, but no longer attached. You need intact land for glaciers to grow. When they go out over water, they break off, which is why ice ages are continent specific. 40-60 million years ago, the top of Northern Canada was where the top of Greenland is today, possibly further north accounting for Arctic Ocean growth.

Link?

Seriously, if you were driving, and the sign said "One Way" you would ask the sign for a link....

What about the glacier over Chicago that melted 20,000 years ago?
Was Chicago, or Canada, within 600 miles of the pole?
If not, how did the glacier survive so far south?

You have a wonderful test case in Greenland, where the ice age originated 600 miles or so from the pole, and pushed ice away from the pole... straight out of the polar circle. Ice on Greenland extends way south of the Arctic Circle, while on Canada you can grow trees hundreds of miles north of the Arctic Circle.

Think about that before asking for another stupid link. The warmers do not like truth. They prefer censorship.

How fast is the plate moving now?
How long ago would it have been 600 miles from the pole?

Seriously, if you were driving, and the sign said "One Way" you would ask the sign for a link....

Seriously, since the Greenland plate and the NA plate are said to be fused ie moving in the same direction, yes, I want a link that says Greenland is now moving north and how fast.

You have a wonderful test case in Greenland,

Fuck Greenland, explain Chicago.

Think about that before asking for another stupid link. The warmers do not like truth.

Fuck the warmers, explain your "theory".
How far was Chicago from the pole when the glacier formed and how far when it melted?

Indeed, it is the same vector, but it is on a sphere, so unless you want to join with Mamooo in The Flat Earth Society, ask yourself again...

Greenland and NA are moving in the same direction = Greenland is just not past the pole yet.

Fuck Greenland, explain Chicago.

Greenland explains Chicago. You just don't want to admit that.

 

[LaDexter]

explain your "theory".

Land moves.

Land moves within 600 miles of an Earth pole, its annual snowfall ceases to fully melt, so ice starts stacking = start of ice age (continent specific).

As ice stacks, it responds to force, mainly gravity, and starts to move, scraping up everything loose beneath it. Ice age glaciers start around 600 miles from a pole, and eventually, assuming land to run, will push such glaciers way out of a polar circle, as ice on Greenland is 200 miles south of the Arctic Circle. That ice got there because it was pushed there from further north. Notice that nowhere else on the Arctic Circle are there ice age glaciers. Why? Because there is no land connecting to that latitude where ice ages start. You have to START one to get glaciers pushed out of a polar circle. That's how they got to Chicago, they started in northern Canada and pushed south.

Once you move land out of that "glacier manufacturing zone" within 600 miles of an Earth pole, the new ice accumulation slows/stops. You still have the ice, but it is no longer a growing ice age, rather a retreating one. Clearly, Chicago's ice was considerable and took a long time to melt, but it did melt, at the same time Greenland's ice age was not yet on the Southern Tip of the island where the Vikings farmed until 1400, when it froze and remains frozen today...

If it's on the same vector, Greenland is moving West-Southwest. Not North.

Greenland is just not past the pole yet.

Greenland is south of the pole, moving west-southwest. You said it was moving North.

Need help reading that "One Way" sign?

Greenland explains Chicago.

Greenland does not explain the distance from Chicago to the pole when the glacier got here
or the distance when it melted.
The plates just move too slowly for your theory to be anything less than a huge pile of crap.

 

[LaDexter]

If it's on the same vector, Greenland is moving West-Southwest. Not North.

Earth not flat. Earth spherical.

Greenland is south of the pole, moving west-southwest. You said it was moving North.

NW

Greenland does not explain the distance from Chicago to the pole when the glacier got here
or the distance when it melted.

Let's try to see if you got anything here.

WHY does Greenland have ice age glacier south of the Arctic Circle, when no other piece of land in the Arctic does?

Canada is green north of the Arctic Circle, Greenland is ice south of it.

WHY?

Until you get that, you've got nuttin...

West-southwest is further from the pole....the opposite of your claim.

WSW

Were you lying or stupid?

Great. Post the distances, like I asked you to do, several times.

 

[LaDexter]

LOL!!!!

You refuse to answer why Greenland has ice south of the Arctic Circle while everywhere else there is plant life north of the Arctic Circle.

This is because, to answer that question correctly, would be to admit I've been completely right about all of the above...

You refuse to explain when the most recent ice age began, the distance from the pole when it began and the distance from the pole when it ended.
I understand why you won't give distances, because it will show the idiocy of your 600 mile "theory".

And which direction is Greenland moving now? LOL!

 

[LaDexter]

You refuse to explain when the most recent ice age began

Greenland's ice age began less than a million years ago, and I've answered that plenty.

I'm interested in Chicago.
Distances when the most recent ice age began?
Distances when the most recent ice age ended?

 

[LaDexter]

The southern tip of Greenland is covered in ice and is nowhere near 600 miles to the Pole and hasn't been near a pole for hundreds of millions of years.

Chicago is like the southern tip of Greenland, which got its ice age glacier cover when the ice age started further north and moved south...

Chicago likely did not get to within 800 miles of the North Pole, but Canada did, and that is where the ice that covered Chicago originated and moved from,

It magically was covered with ice when it was further away, why did it magically melt?

When did the glacier over Chicago melt the last time?

 

[LaDexter]

And which direction is Greenland moving now? LOL!

The fault in the center of the Atlantic grows every year; It is slanted SW to NE in the northern part, pushing England and Europe SE and Greenland NW. It doesn't take a genius to understand that, just the photo...

 

[LaDexter]

It magically was covered with ice when it was further away,

.... for the 9999th time, just like the southern tip of Greenland.

CLUE - until the 1400s, the vikings were FARMING on the southern tip of Greenland. Then it froze, and it is still frozen today.

What then caused the southern tip of Greenland to glaciate, magic "interglacials," or the ice further north moving south...????

Nice photo. Where is your source that says it moves NW instead of WSW?

 

[LaDexter]

The SOURCE is THE ANGLE OF THE FAULT and the PAST MOVEMENT clearly visible from the photo...

Chicago was covered with ice until how long ago?
How far north did Greenland move after 1400?

Nope. The picture doesn't say NW. And it looks like you can't find a source that does.

 

[LaDexter]

You seem so very lost here. The science isn't that difficult. Let's start from the top, one more time..

The northern tip of Greenland got to that 600 miles from the Pole point about a million years ago. There, at the northern tip of Greenland, is where the ice age started. From there, that ice grew and moved. Think of it as cookie dough. Take a fist full of cookie dough and throw it on the floor. Now do that 1000 times, and your cookie dough is covering the kitchen floor and pushing out the door. That's what ice ages do, they grow and respond to gravity, and every time another layer is added to the top, the additional weight pushes out what is below, which moves the path of least resistance. For Greenland, the ice age got to the mountain range just north of the southern tip perhaps 200-500k years ago, and grew behind it. The vikings got to "Greenland" when the southern tip was still green, less than 1500 years ago. Curious, they went up to that mountain range, and behind it saw only ice. So, well, everything is cool, the ice is behind the mountains, and we can farm here - no problem.... until 1400s, when that ice penetrated that mountain range and froze the southern tip beyond the ability to farm it.

Ice age glaciers move.

Chicago never got to 600 miles from the pole. The ice that covered Chicago originated much further north...


Now, try this question. Greenland's ice is south of the Arctic Circle. Nowhere else on the Arctic Circle is there ice age glacier. Many places like Canada have plant life hundreds of miles north of the Arctic Circle.

WHY is there ice south of the Arctic Circle on Greenland and plants north of the Arctic Circle on Canada???
