...sea levels? I have just been reading a book my son got for Christmas ,it's by readers digest and in that book it claims that the Himalayas where once under water and that fossils of sea shells were found on mount Everest .

I do not know if this true ,but if is then it proves that sea levels were higher thousands of year ago ,so why do both main parties insist that that climate change is causing rising sea levels?
 
Many years ago most of the East coast was under water
It was then reclaimed & built on.
LIEBOUR & THE CONS
WANT to TAX us
that's why they wont tell US the TRUTH.
BUT THERE IS ONE Party that will tell you the truth
& are making it clear that we are getting Ripped off
The BNP.
Like it or not.
 
That is true. But the mountains were pushed up millions of years ago by the movement of the earths plates. Here is a little fact the Himalayas are still rising and the rocky mountains in america are starting to shrink. These processes take millions of years. It is nothing to do with sea levels. In a few hundred million years the earth will again be one massive flat continent.
 
No, it doesn't prove anything about sea levels, the marine life found in the Himalayas is to do with the science of 'plate techtonics'. The earth's crust is not static, and over millions of years there are gradual movements in the land masses and ocean beds so that mountain ranges etc. are formed where there were once oceans and vice versa.

This explains the basics of it:
 
who cares. i dont think they can claim any money through taxes involving rising sea levels...
i cant stand politicians
 
Climate change can make sea levels rise. It can also make them fall.

It all depends if the earth is warming or cooling, a cycle that has been going on since the earth was born.
 
Yes, it is true but it does not show that sea levels were higher thousands of years ago.

The himalayas are formed by place tectonics - colliding plates created the mountains and they are still growing higher even today. Originally, what is now the mountains was just normal, flat sea bed. This is where the fossils come from. When the two plates collided, the rocks were forced up to form the mountains, and the fossils in the rocks went with them.

For the mountains as they are today to have been underwater would need more water than has ever, and could ever, exist on Earth. The fossils come from when the mountains were not yet formed, or only just forming, and have nothing to do with changing sea levels.
 
Sea levels have never reached the levels of Mt. Everest today. Mountains get washed to the sea over millions of years and new ones rise up because of tectonic plate movement. And when Mt. Everest was created that land mass was under water and when the mountain range formed the seashells were already there and came along with the rising mountains which are still rising today. But some stupid people open their mouths without any knowledge of what they are talking about. The biblical flood is not even worth commenting on because the subject hits a brick wall every time.
 
Oh boy, apples and oranges. Sometimes it is the water that rises and falls, and sometimes it is the land, is pretty well about as simply as I can put it.

Whenever and wherever you see sedimentary rock, except for very uncommon rock types, that place was once underwater. That doesn't mean that the land was always the way it is today, which would require much higher water levels in lots of places.

The rocks that now form mountain chains such as the Himalayas, and the Rockies, were once ocean and coastal areas where sediment was deposited in the past. However, since that time, the earth has changed and the former sea bottoms got pushed up many miles.

if this wasn't always going on all the time somewhere on earth, there would be no land. Everything that was land would have eroded down to the sea level and the entire world would be covered by ocean. The mountains do get washed away with time. the earth has to build new ones.
 
The climate has always changed throughout the history of earth. The middle 70s was known as a mini ice age. Do they know when and if the current warming cycle will shift back or continue.
 
I think you may have the wrong end of the stick, where continents collide through continental drift mountains are formed and if the top of a mountain was once a ocean seabed then there is a good chance it will have fossils of sea shells within it.

Its not that the oceans have in the distant past risen tens of thousands of feet, hundreds maybe but not thousands, but it is the land itself that has risen to make today's mountains, amazing but true.
