If a submarine swell is of that size, there is not much else it can be. That it was once, theoretically, somewhere between Port Radium and Repulse Bay is a matter of tracing and dating small circles on the sphere traversed by moving plates. Keewaytin is in the center of the Canadian Shield. If the shield once had younger sediments on it, a hot spot underneath it would have lifted it up and cleaned it off, creating the enigma of the Canadian Shield. Morgan believes that various hot spots positioned in various eras under shield rock are what have kept it generally free of zakelijke energie latter-day deposits. Stubborn fragments of the Paleozoic here and there on the shield suggest that this is so, as does the relatively modest number of meteorite craters. If the shield rock had been sitting there uncovered since Precambrian time, its surface could be expected to be more widely pockmarked, not unlike the plains of the moon. Later in the Jurassic, the Great Meteor Hot Spot was under the west side of Hudson Bay, and in the early Cretaceous under Moose Factory, Ontario. All this is postulated not on any direct field evidence but simply on a charted extrapolation from an ocean dome nearly four thousand miles away. As time comes forward, however, the calculations place the hot spot-with its huge volumes of magma-under New Hampshire a hundred and twenty million years ago. The radioactively derived age of a good deal of granite in the White Mountains, so puzzlingly “anachronistic” in Appalachian history, is a hundred and twenty million years. East of the North American continental shelf, lined up like bell jars on the Sohm Abyssal Plain, are the New England Seamounts. Their average height is eleven thousand feet. They are very well dated, and their ages decrease with distance east. Their zakelijke energie vergelijken positions and their ages-ninety-five million years, ninety million years, eighty-five million years-coincide with Morgan’s mathematical biography of the Great Meteor Hot Spot. A development that has greatly improved the precision of these measurements is argon-argon dating. A stream of neutrons in a nuclear reactor ‘bombards a rock sample and causes a known fraction of its atoms of potassium to change into argon-39. Also in the sample are atoms of the isotope argon-40, which are unaffected by the bombardment and are the result of the natural decay of potassium through geologic time.
