The Destruction of Sodom, Gomorrah, and Jericho
Among the most widely known of stories relating the destruction of entire cities is the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah some 4350 years ago. These two cities, and Jericho as well, are situated along a major fault extending 1100 kilometres from the axis of the Red Sea to Turkey. Earthquakes, volcanic activity, variations by hundreds of metres of the level of the Dead Sea, and oscillations between arid and wet climates have affected the human set…

Uncontrolled growth of human populations, geological background, and future prospects

Changed Late Quaternary Marine Environments on Atlantic Continental Shelf and Upper Slope
About 2000 large sediment samples were collected during the early 1960s throughout the continental shelf off the Atlantic coast of the United States to establish and map sediment types including sediments relict from times of glacially low (and subsequently higher) sea levels. In about 510 of these samples we found fossil shells of mollusks remaining from environmental conditions different from those at present. Publications and collections by ot…

Archaeological Potential of the Atlantic Continental Shelf
Early man lived in eastern United States 11,000 years ago when most of the now-submerged continental shelf was exposed. The shelf almost certainly was ranged by nomadic hunters and possibly by marine fish- and mollusk- eaters. As the sea level rose at the end of the latest glacial epoch, the advancing water disrupted and submerged any habitation sites.The oldest radiocarbon dates for kitchen middens of marine refuse along the present shore appear…
The Sea off Southern California
to southern California by another expedition under Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo (Bolton, 1916), sent out by the viceroy Antonio de Mendoza to find a route to China and possibly also to establish contact with Coronado in his search for the Seven Cities of Cibola.Cabrillo arrived at Santa Catalina Island, which he named San Salvador after one of his two ships, on October 7, 1542.Continuing up the coast, the expedition wintered on San Miguel Island where…
