OK, volcanic ash. I
always thought of ash as normal ash, not volcanic ash.
Volcanic ash in large quantities is limited to a relatively small area around each volcano, I don't think it would be that much.
If the earth's core began to heat it would expand correct?
Not much, it's already very hot. But I don't understand why it would get
hotter.
How big would the earth be if you took away 70% of it, that is the water? 1/3rd the size. Water refracts the light into colors, with out the
water you see the moon.
Water covers 70% of the Earth's surface, the volume is just around 1/800 of the whole Earth's volume (if I didn't
made any mistake in my calculations

).
And without water we would see the bottom of the oceans, but we will still see the areas above water level as they look now, so I don't understand
what you mean by that.
The oceans don't get filled in, that is to say, they get burnt off at least the pacific does instantly and cratered by the falling debre of
its end.
The debris do not fall in the area from where they were ejected, as you can see just by letting something fall on a bowl of flour, for
example, they are spread around the impact area.
The spewing ash having little atmosphere to resist as I assume the atmosphere is erased almost immediately, falls back and fills in the rifts,
the Mediterranean, and the low lying areas.
I don't know if the atmosphere would be destroyed, I don't remember anything about that, I will
have to look for information about it, but without atmosphere the ash (I suppose you mean volcanic ash) would travel much farther away, making a more
uniform but thinner layer than with atmosphere. But you still need a volume of ashes that's 1/16th of that of Moon to replace all of the ocean's
water.
Everything on the pacific side is almost erased, save Tchaikovsky...the lowest point in Australia.
I suppose you mean Tsiolkovskiy, that
would be in the northern part pf Australia. But what about Mare Moscoviense, for example, that would be in the Pacific?
If Apophis strikes the moon, the earth is in trouble. Everyone worrying about the earth getting struck, but we can't live without the moon and
that could be a real threat. And of course it just has to be at the cross of 2012/2013. I'm not a doomsday guy, but this is a real
problem.
No, Apophis is too small to make a big influence on the Moon. They are worried if it hits the Earth because a 5km crater on a densely
populated area could mean millions of deaths.
I think your wise enough to figure these things out. It just takes seeing the same info from "all" sides...
That's the problem, I
think you are not seeing it from the scientific side. But that's just my opinion, obviously.
Remember why you started asking questions and loved learning? Remember your first solved mystery?...
No, it was too long ago.
It's supposed to be fun...don't forget that. It's ok to not know everything, but its not ok to not know what you know....share at your
discretion....Peace
I'm having fun, so no problems from that.
I just think you are letting your imagination go unchecked by reality for too long. But I know that I am an unimaginative person.
