Planet X: Continental RIP

The Hapgood theory of a sliding crust (caused by the crust being dragged
with the magnetic core of the Earth during a close passage of Planet X,
likewise a planet with a magnetic core) would have the plates on the
move, and slaming into each other when stopping.  Historically, the
Pacific shortens, and the Atlantic widens, but before the Atlantic RIPS,
it stretches, dragging down land along its coastlines.

    New England SeaMounts Once Near Surface
    From Science Frontiers #1, September 1977

        Exploration of the New England Seamount chain by
        the research submarine Alvin confirmed that some of these
        peaks, now all a kilometer or more below the surface,
        were once at or above the surface of the ocean.  This
        undersea mountain chain contains more than 30 major
        peaks and stretches 1,600 miles southeast from the New
        England coast. Deep-sea dredging has previously
        brought up Eocene limestone of shallow-water origin
        from the submerged mountain tops, but the Alvin
        explorations resulted in the first eye-witness accounts
        of dead coral (which grows only near the surface) and
        rock samples containing strands of dead algae that grows
        only within 100 meters of the surface. The New England
        Seamounts have therefore either subsided on the order
        of a kilometer since Eocene times or sealevel has altered
        drastically. The Alvin dives also discovered a series of
        very striking and perplexing buttes obviously the results
        of erosion.

    Atlantis Mystery Stirred by Undersea Discovery
    Aug 25, 1968 Sunday, Miami, Florida

        Has an outpost of Atlantis been discovered just 80
        miles east by slightly south of Ft. Lauderdale? A Yale
        professor of archaeology says this could very possibly
        be true. ... announcement of discovery of the top of a
        large stone building off the coast of an unannounced
        Bahamas Island. It was also said there was another
        building a half mile away. It was further said this
        probably was part of an ancient city.

    Where Buffalo Roamed
    Environmental News Network, August 27, 1998

        More than 14,000 years ago, enormous bison, camels
        and mastodons could be found roaming the Georgia
        coastline. At the time, the coastline extended 60 miles
        beyond the current Georgia shoreline, and is therefore
        now completely underwater. Some 60 feet below the
        ocean's surface, scientists with Gray's Reef National
        Marine Sanctuary are uncovering remnants of prehistoric
        animal life and hoping to find clues to climate change
        as well.

The Zetas have explained this stretch and rip as:

    Likewise, the depth of the Pacific trough is vulnerable, a
    weak point on the surface for the continents to slide toward.
    Thus we have continental drift, which is much too benign
    a word to use for the cataclysms that occur.
        ZetaTalk™ (http://www.zetatalk.com/science/s07.htm), Continental Rip

    Continents pulled apart, as in the widening Atlantic rift,
    cause sinking land along the shores for several reasons:
    1. The curvature of the Earth causes the mid-point between
       continents being pulled apart to drop.
    2. There is less crust to cover the magma underneath, so
       that rips in the crust form at the weakest or lowest points.
    3. Ripped crust at the bottom of ocean rifts allows heavy
       land along the edge to lose its support, thus it can sink
       into the magma.
          ZetaTalk™ (http://www.zetatalk.com/poleshft/p88.htm), Sinking or Rising

    As we have stated, the Atlantic will widen and the Pacific
    will shorten. Where the Pacific effect will cause sudden
    and violent subduction of several plates, which are already
    subducting, in the Atlantic the effect will be the opposite.
    A gulf will appear, with plates torn apart and the softer
    magma under the plates exposed to the cold Atlantic water.
    Where this will harden the magma, and establish new plate
    surface, there will be less support for the abridging plates,
    those that attach however remotely to the shorelines of the
    Americas, Europe, and Africa. These non-supported plates
    will sink, somewhat, bringing their formerly above-water
    land masses down under the water in many places. As an
    instance, Europe and in particular the western islands of
    Britain and Ireland will find itself more affected than some
    other parts of the globe.
