We can imagine this as an illustration of one of Nibiru’s moons crashing with Tiamat,

creating the Pacific Ocean basin.

When the world ocean had rushed down into the Pacific Ocean basin, an earlier world of oceanic plateaus and ridges stuck above the ocean for the first time, full av mud and sea shells. Thus emerged the original supercontinent that Wegener in his hypothesis assumed must have existed, and which he named Pangeae. On the top of Mount Everest one can still find shells, which shows that this ridge once upon a time was oceanic.

ZetaTalk rejects the theory of continental drift, at least in the sense that the continents very, very slowly have drifted away from each other. ZetaTalk claims instead that the general trend is that the Earth crust displacements result in fracturing, rifting and finally splitting of the tectonic plates (ZT note July 15, 1995: Continental Drift). So, instead of talking about continental drift, it would be better to talk about plate rifting and splitting. The overall trend of the displacements with their plate rifting and splitting is that Earth, as a planet sailing through space, becomes ever more balanced and harmonized what concerns the geographical distribution of oceans and continents.

According to plate tectonics, the Earth’s crust consists of seven giant and 30-40 less tectonic plates being in close contact with each other (Wiki article: List of tectonic plates). The boundaries between the plates are called plate boundaries. There are three types of plate boundaries:

* convergent, or collisional boundary. This will either result in a subduction zone where an oceanic plate moves beneath an oceanic or continental plate, or in a continental collision between two continental plates leading to mountain range formation (like the Himalayas). Subduction zones result in enormous earthquakes and deep oceanic trenches.

* divergent boundary, which means that the two plates are moving away from each other. This results in a spreading zone with the formation of new crust between the two plates. These areas can form in the middle of continents but eventually form ocean basins. Divergent boundaries within continents initially produce rifts which produce rift valleys. The most active divergent plate boundaries are between oceanic plates, where mid-oceanic ridges (like the Mid-Atlantic Ridge) are formed in the sea floor spreading zone.

* transform fault (or transform boundary) occur where plates slide past each other, and crust is neither destroyed nor created.

The plate boundaries represent fundamental zones of tectonic disturbances, almost all earth­quakes and volcanic activity happen here. Rifts can be interplate (in a divergent boundary) as well as intraplate (a plate in the process of being split in two). The intraplate rifts that ZetaTalk mentions most frquently, are Rift Valley in East Africa (Wiki article: East African Rift) and New Madrid Seismic Zone in Eastern USA (Wiki article: New Madrid Seismic Zone).

We will now move forward in time and see what will happen, according to ZetaTalk, in the climax hour of the Earth crust displacement. From ZetaTalk note April 15, 2002: The Scripted Drama:

            ”The stage having been set, then, the crust movement steps during the hour of the shift are as follows:

1.     As the South Pole, gripped by the passing North Pole of the 12th Planet [Nibiru], moves north, the crust is torn from the core and freed in this way, allowing pre-existing stress points to relax. Thus, Europe and Africa move further east, allowing the Atlantic to rip apart during the slide northward.

2.     The immediate effect of the massive plate housing Europe, Russia and the Near East [the Eurasian plate] to move is felt most strongly in India, as the Himalayas are driven over India at this point, effectively submerging this country in a wink.

3.     The effect of the Indo-Australian plate taking a dive under the Himalayas is to relieve tension along the African Rift, such that this tears, promptly, but in shuddering steps with halting adjustments and pauses between shudders. In essence, the movement eastward of the African continent is a momentum creating this tear.

4.     During the tearing of the Atlantic Ocean floor, and the dragging north or the North American continent, an already existing tear in the St. Lawrence Seaway tears further, essentially the weak link in this landmass held at so many points to the further side of the Atlantic Ocean. Canada moves north, while the rest of the Americas cling to the Atlantic Rift while it separates.

[Rolf Kenneth: For those not familiar with St. Lawrence Seaway, it is the common name for a system of canals that permits ocean-going vessels to travel from the Atlantic Ocean to the North American Great Lakes. The Mid-Atlantic Rift is a deep rift valley which runs along the axis of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge along nearly its entire length. This rift, which is volcanic active, marks the actual boundary between four giant tectonic plates: the Eurasian plate and the North American plate in the North Atlantic; and the African plate and the South American plate in the South Atlantic.]

5.     The movement of the massive plate housing Europe, Russia, and Asia [the Eurasian plate] to the east also is expected to rip this plate along the Himalayas, as we have stated, creating an inland bay into the Russian lands just to what is now the north of the Himalayas. This follows, in jerks and tears, over the hour of the shift, along with the tearing of the African Rift.

6.     When the ocean off the bulge of Brazil has reached the position of the current North Pole, crust slippage stops, creating yet another drama. The major northern hemisphere plates stop, and whatever follows crashes into them. In the case of the Americas, this causes Central America and the Caribbean to crumble.

7.     In the case of Africa, already sliding eastward, the force is further movement eastward, as subduction of the Indo-Australian plate has already begun, the weaker link already established and momentum in process.

8.     The pileup is in what was the former Northern Hemisphere, and the compression of the Pacific is creating resistance as plates are subducted under the Americas, and then Japan explodes [by powerful volcanic eruptions] and Indonesia crumbles.”

[Rolf Kenneth: Click on the links to see a more elaborate description of the destinies of Japanand Indonesia during the climax hour. Indonesia is placed at the vulnerable southeast tongue of the Eurasian plate].

9.     [The content of paragraph 9 has been formulated clearer by Nancy Lieder in a private email to Rolf Kenneth. It goes like this:] The Antarctic plate, which is the world’s fifth largest plate, has its boundaries adjacent to six other plates, among them the Pacific plate on one side, and on the other side the South American plate and the African plate sharing the South Atlantic Ocean between them. The Pacific Ocean will be compressed, which means that all the plates in this area will be pushed beneath or above each other. On the Pacific side, the Antarctic plate will be pressed down by another plate. The Antarctic plate is, however, of very solid structure, so instead of rifting and splitting in two, it will tilt upwards on the Atlantic side. This will result in new land emerging from the sea, between the south tips of South America and Africa. The tilt upwards on the Atlantic side will happen almost without resistance, since the Atlantic Ocean will be rifting and expanding.

In the rest of this chapter B we will look closer at various plate-tectonic phenomena and consequences hereof. These phenomena indicate that the plates now are exposed to extra-ordinary severe strains and stresses.

B1: Stretch zone phenomena where rock layers are being pulled apart because the tectonic plate is being drawn in opposite directions simultaneously.

ZetaTalk has introduced the term “stretch zone”, which includes both interplate and intraplate rifting. The term is used especially in cases of intraplate rifting due to the present wrenching and shaking of the tectonic plates. Some of these plates are being drawn in opposite directions simultaneously. In Western Saudi Arabia, not far from the Red Sea where the African plate and the Arabian plate share boundary, one can now see the development of a gigantic rift in the earth (here). While some try to explain this as “undetermined volcanic activity”, per the Zetas, the two plates will be pulling apart as the Earth changes proceed.
