The Earth before the Flood: Disappeared continents and civilizations

Some explorers consider that the Earth's axis (Earth axis) displacement (shift) in a space on 15-30 ° and all the more on 50-60°, is little probable, referring to that the rotating Earth represents a gyroscope with rather impressive moment of amount of movement, that is it is an inertial object, putting up strong resistance to tryings to change its movement (rotation).
For so sizeable displacement (shift) of the Earth's axis (Earth axis) the particular kind of an impact is necessary: not a simple physical power or a gravitational interaction with a space body flying by, and the rotationally-tipping moment. It can originate (occur), for example, at an tangential blow of an asteroid.
Accoding to Andrey Sklyarov's calculations, spent in his work the "Myth about a deluge: calculations and the reality", for rotating of the Earth's axis (Earth axis) on 20 ° an asteroid which will fly to the Earth with velocity of 100 km/s, should have diameter not less than 1000 kilometres. But such asteroid, most likely, will destroy our planet.

1. Slip (slipping, sliding) of the lithosphere

Last years the other theory explaining a mechanism of global climate alteration and catastrophical changes on the Earth, designed in 1984 by the American astronomer and geophysicist from NASA Peter Shults, was found acceptance: this is slip (slipping, sliding) of the lithosphere or, simply speaking, shift (displacement) of the geographical poles of the Earth.
Its essence consists in the following. The Earth's crust together with a hard upper part of the mantle - the lithosphere - like an egg-shell rests on a bed of the melted mantle - the astenosphere. Width of the lithosphere - from 1-5 km in oceans up to 50-100 km in mainlands at a common radius of the Earth of 6370 km. It gives the opportunity to the lithosphere to slip (slide) on the liquid astenosphere at strong blow to it (for example, at a tangential impact of an asteroid of 20 km in diameter flying with velocity of 50 km/s) without some appreciable alteration of the gyroscope, in this case - the Earth.
Similar slip (slipping, sliding) of the lithosphere occurs at impacts of asteroids with the Earth and strong earthquakes. It can happen and at strikes by belligerent (warring) parties of powerful nuclear strokes to each other. In the result of slip (slipping, sliding) of the lithosphere a location of the geographical poles changes and alteration of global climate takes place. All it is attended by sizeable displacements of blocks of the Earth's crust, rises of terrains, foldings and eruptions of volcanous. However, an incline (tilt) of the Earth' axis (Earth axis) in relation to the plane of the ecliptic thus does not change.

2. Displacement (shift) of the axis of the Earth

In spite of all seriousness of the arguments given by opponents of displacement (shift) of the Earth's axis (Earth axis), under certain condition it all the same can occur. It is prooved by near to horizontal a location of Uranus's axis which has got such position, most likely, after an impact the planet with some large space body. It is also testifyed by displacement (shift) of the axis of the satellite of Jupiter, Europe approximately on 80 °, calculated by astronomers from Institute of Moon and planets of Carnegi and the Californian university in Santa Cruz under the guidance of Isamu Matsuyama. At last, it is confirmed by calculations of Dzhafar Arkani-Hamed from Canadian University of Mac'gil according to which the axis of Mars displaced (shifted) after a catastrophe more than on 30 °.
Similar change of a position of rotation axises of planets is called as the true displacement (shift), unlike the imaginary displacement (shift) of poles caused by tectonics of lithosphere plates. The true shift (displacement) took also place on the satellite of Saturn, Enceladus and as it has been shown above, on the Earth.

"A chain reaction of catastrophes"

Today alterations of locations of the geographical poles are watched from satellites of system GPS. Data arrive in the International service of Rotation of the Earth (USGS). According to long-term observations, earthquakes, really, make some influence on displacement (shift) of the axis of the Earth (or of poles). However, Earth's axis displacement (or of poles) are, in turn, a trigger mechanism for earthquakes.
So, the circle closed up. A catastrophe caused by an impact of an asteroid with the Earth, by exchange of nuclear strokes, or by everything else, will cause Earth's axis displacement (shift), formation of faults and earthquake on all planet, and they, in turn, will contribute in further displacement (shift) of the Earth's axis. And it is not so important, whether it will change a space orientation (according to legends and I. Matsuyama's and D.n Arkani-Hamed calculations ), or there will be a shift (displacement) of the geographical poles, and the position of the axis doesn't change, (as, for example, consider P. Schultz and A. Skljarov), catastrophical aftereffects (consequences) from it will be comparable.
