Good morning AU, by circular faulting I am referring to the circular faults at the bottom of photographs in figure # 2 and the entire No # 3.. As you can see they are circular, geologically speaking, what would you call them ? I should be correct in my description of them. Gracias.
I assume that the rings were caused by the upthrusting of San Miguel - visible in photo no, I and the primary ring that surrounds it.
In the last picture you can see the eastern side of what I called the parallel faulting caused by the uplifting of the ridge,, notice the deep multiple faulting as shown in photo no.2.
One side is in Chihuahua, the other is in Sonora.
again thanks for correcting me AU.
Ladies & gent. To put things in prospective, if 2 lakes some some hundreds of miles ( kilometers ) square by an average depth of 100 ft. were suddenly added to the worlds oceans, just how much would it actually raise the worlds oceans level ?
Let's say 400 miles by 400 miles 100 feet deep for the sake of getting numbers. It would amount to 16 million square miles 1 foot deep. It's easy to get the surface area of the oceans, about 127 million square miles, so 127 into 16 equals .126 feet, or about 1.5 inches.
Of course, that doesn't account for any surface disturbance of the water getting there, like a tsunami, which would depend on the circumstances to a great degree.
My apologies if my use of mathematics offends someone or breaks a rule.

I'd be interested in where you got that ocean area from, since the time we're discussing at about 11,000-10,000 years ago the ocean was lower then current water levels. On a quick google I found no numbers of that time period.
Googled the present ocean, yes. All I could easily find.
If the ice age ocean would have been half the present area, unlikely, it would have been a whopping 3 inches.
Note that i just grabbed a number for the hypothetical lake area and depth. One of the characteristics of multiplication is that the multiplicand has the same numerical effect as the multiplier. In simpler terms, 2x4 is the same as 4x2.
I see that some are trying to work out the exact size of a single theoretical lake, to then work out the depth from a flood etc. This is not only not necessary, it is a backwards approach to the issue. We already have at least one source on the amount of sea level rise in the great flood that is likely the same flood that destroyed Atlantis, twenty cubits. How much is a cubit? Eighteen to twenty inches. Now it would also be a great mistake to then attribute every gallon of that water to a meltwater ice lake flood or pulse, since the same ancient sources also mention terrific rains that also appeared at the same time. How much water falls in rain? Now figure that for weeks, like monsoon season in southern Asia for instance. It could be an inch, it could be 400 inches. We can also presume that the rain did not fall EVERY where and for the same amount everywhere, but I would point out that worldwide 'flooding' does not mean the same thing as a flood that simply drowns everything in deep water. If it were, then Arizona would be a lake.
Also, it would be unwise to think of this as the result of a single ice dam failure, for surely an ice dam remembered in Wales, can not be the same ice dam remembered in Utah or SE Asia. Plus science has already found evidence of quite a few large ice dam type lakes, which were massive at the end of the last Ice Age. That Atlantis was destroyed in a single day points to a single event, not what was happening over the entire world on that exact day, but the evidence does support the idea that in a fairly short period of time, a massive amount of flooding occurred when the ice dam reservoirs failed, releasing huge amounts of ice cold fresh water into the seas, even to the point of stopping the Atlantic gyre (current). In fact if you think about it, that 'forty days' of rains, now compare it to the length of a spring ice break up in the North country, it is often around that length of time, when the winter snow and ice accumulation suddenly melts off in a few weeks time. Rains accelerate this melting and flooding.
Please do continue;

Either way, the sediment studies in Spain I've been reading on do indeed provide proof of several tsunamis.
Sometimes a couple of kilometers in land, this excludes storm deposits as a possible source. Not been able to date these so far though.
I agree. Math may not be the answer. But it can be entertaining to consider!
Do the historic sources mention if the water retreated after the 'flood'?
As you say, there are likely one or more causes for the event. Not a single one.
I'm betting the possible "heinrich" event near that epoch is somehow related. Basically it means the ice is "calving", or having ice breaking off.
They are known for making large waves, but tsunamis? I'm not sure yet. If a large enough chunk broke off, perhaps.

<Nahum 3:8-10, KJV>"[SUP]8 [/SUP]Art thou better than populous No, that was situate among the rivers, that had the waters round about it, whose rampart was the sea, and her wall was from the sea?
[SUP]9 [/SUP]Ethiopia and Egypt were her strength, and it was infinite; Put and Lubim were thy helpers.
[SUP]10 [/SUP]Yet was she carried away, she went into captivity: her young children also were dashed in pieces at the top of all the streets: and they cast lots for her honourable men, and all her great men were bound in chains."
Excellent post Oro and Eu. This city of No. I wonder if we can find any other refferences to it. Perhaps even some of the books that never made the bible. Like enoch. The flood was his time period. We may be able yo find a better description of the cityThe ancient sources only obliquely refer to the waters "receding", as with the biblical flood. On that topic, ran across something that MAY be a biblical reference to Atlantis itself!
<Nahum 3:8-10, KJV>
Was the biblical city and state of NO, Atlantis? Biblical scholars usually try to place No as a city in Egypt, yet this hardly will fit the other aspects of the descriptions, as this seems to be describing an island power, a city literally surrounded by waters and protected by the seas.
Please do continue, and I look forward to hearing more on the sediment study!
