Details Relating to the Shifting Crust Theory
93. 
Yedomas and Loess, 
-150°F, Large Animals, Vertical Compression. The shifting crust theory does not explain why mammoths, yedomas, and loess are related, why yedomas contain so much carbon, why temperatures suddenly drop to -150°F, why primarily the larger, harder-to-freeze animals were frozen and preserved, or why Dima and Berezovka were compressed vertically.
94. Rock Ice. Same as item 73.
95. Frozen Muck. Same as item 74.
96. Summer-Fall Death. Sliding the entire earth’s crust would produce ruptures in both Northern and Southern Hemispheres. Volcanic activity and storms should have been equally intense in both hemispheres. Because this catastrophic event probably occurred in July, August, or September, summer storms should have occurred in the Northern Hemisphere and winter storms in the Southern Hemisphere. Therefore, we should find frozen carcasses in the Southern Hemisphere, not the Northern Hemisphere.
97. Other/Wrong Direction. Frozen remains of mammoths and other animals were found in northern Alaska. If the crust shifted so that Hudson Bay moved from the North Pole to its present position, Alaska would not move appreciably northward. Why then would northern Alaska suddenly shift from a temperate to an Arctic climate?
98. Other/No Ruptures. Places where the earth’s crust ruptured should be visible today, according to this theory, but are not.
