Tectonic Wave Theory - Saline Lakes
The current Tectonic Plate Theory assumes that the crust material above the sea has always looked the same as it looked millions of years ago. The Tectonic Plates have just moved around the world, floating on super-heated material from the Earth’s Core. It’s almost like cutting a pie and removing it from the pie pan and placing it onto a larger pan. You can move the pieces around on the larger pan, but the pieces you cut retains its shape as you move them around. The pieces are like a puzzle, if you push the pie pieces together they would look like a whole pie again. A pie just sitting on a bigger plate. This is idea of Pangea, one large continent broken apart, is like puzzle pieces fitting back together nicely.
So when it comes to the formation of salt or saline lakes, the current theory states the following, “Salt lakes form when the water flowing into the lake, containing salt or minerals, cannot leave because the lake doesn’t allow for water to flow from it”. However the Tectonic Wave Theory states that all crust material is always in motion, with forces exerted on the crust from material being produced at the ridges. The shape of the Earth’s crust which is above the water line, is being shaped by the forces from the ridge material. The new ridge material acts like a plow or a bulldozer, as the material reaches the crust material it pushes the material together shaping the coastline. As the material is produced, it will move away from the ridge in both directions at almost equal speed and distance. The ridge material acts like bulldozers, pushing on and shaping the continent’s crust material.
The Tectonic Wave Theory, as it relates to saline lakes, is very simple. The crust material traveling in two different directions trap the salt water of the oceans. As it does, the area of the water becomes smaller as the crust material continues to move closer to each other. Evaporation in the newly formed lake concentrated the saline in the lake. The opposing forces of the material may push the lake and surface area above sea level, and if the lake has no additional water sources, the lake may completely evaporate and form salt beds. For that reason, saline lakes and salt beds are formed at the point where micro continents and crust material have been forced together from two Tectonic Waves of material traveling in different directions, trapping ocean water between the opposing crust material. Further, if this theory is correct, saline lakes may have higher concentrations of salt then the oceans.
When the Earth was young and the Earth’s core was extremely active, this process happened at a much faster rate. Like an onion, layers and layers of new crust material covered older layers, in constant motion. Old salt beds became covered by crust material, and over time they disappeared hundreds of feet below the surface. Those underground salt deposits are indications of prehistoric micro continent collisions that had trapped ocean water. So with that in mind, when you look at the Earth where mountains are formed because of opposing tectonic wave forces, it appears crust material has trapped ocean water and saline lakes and salt bed locations can be predicted with great accuracy. In the reverse, saline lakes and salt beds are a clear indication of crust material or continental collisions points.
