Wettest Year on Record say Australian Bureau of Meteorology

This Logician says, of course it is, and it is going to be followed by yet more rain next year!

Indeed, the entire southern Hemisphere will be experiencing a wetter climate for many years! Why is this and upon what facts do I make this forecast?

Well, it has a lot to do with Plate Tectonics, Earthquake Activity and Large Caldera and the Ocean, specifically the Pacific Ocean.

There is a place where three oceanic plates meet, they have been causing earthquake activity for millions of years as they struggle to subduct each other, the Pacific Ocean floor has been slowly rising over those millions of years and is now around 2000 meters below the surface in the place where those three plates meet.

The caldera ocean is 2600m deep surrounded by the caldera rim which is about 2000m below the surface. This has been the site of volcanic activity over those same millions of years and a large caldera has formed as the magma gets progressively exposed to the water above. These are not your typical sub-sea volcanoes!

The tiny islands that have formed and reformed over the last century are the peaks of the caldera, indeed they have their own calderas which is on the rim of the much larger caldera.

Now caldera everywhere are earthquake zones and what happens generally is the quake dislodges some of the roof which falls into the molten magma which is then cooled and that fallen rock has to melt before continuing to add to the molten pool, thus the amount of molten lava slowly grows, fed from above and below and the roof re-seals with pillow lava.

Now a sub ocean caldera has an added factor, the water pressure above it, which as lava gets exposed forms a new roof with pillow lava here and there. Now this roof is structurally unsound, being added to hither and yon in a piecemeal fashion, over millions of years!

Now plate tectonics never stop and the resultant earthquakes cause cracks to form and the lava solidifies.

On the 15^th January this year the roof of the caldera suffered a major collapse!

Indeed, much of the roof collapses taking less than a second to fall into the molten lava below!

Things happen very quickly then!

Molten lava over a large area of ocean floor comes in contact with the ocean which superheats into very high-pressure steam which forms a large bubble.

There is a considerable amount of other matter including par-boiled sea creatures. The pressure of the water above behaves like the boiler of a steam engine; the bubble grows very quickly contained by the rim of the caldera sea cliffs some 600 meters high.

The bubble suddenly separates from the ocean floor. It begins to rise, it accelerates, and when it reaches the surface some 2600m above, is moving very very fast!

The explosion that occurs when high pressure steam reaches the atmosphere is considerable and heard around the globe!

The pressure wave races around the globe and disturbs atmospheric pressures everywhere!

That steam now continues to rise at considerable speed and takes with it lots of sea water! High school physics on steroids!

A hundred cubic miles of steam surrounded by sea water reach the stratosphere. Some of that water will fall straight back to the ocean, BUT some will stay frozen along with the frozen steam and remain suspended above the clouds several tens of KM above the atmosphere proper. It begins to circulate.

The ocean settles down after local tsunamis wreak havoc locally and are felt in California!

The earth is almost back to normal, but there is still the problem of all that frozen steam and sea water up there circulating, it affects the climate!

Australia experiences its wettest year on record!

There is no experience to base future effects upon the climate as it has been millions of years since this happened before, but this is not a one-off occurrence.

It will happen again in a few million years or next week!

Meanwhile the southern hemisphere will have a slightly wetter climate, how long will this last?

How long is a piece of string?
