"The best seagoing oceanographers," says Iselin, "are the result of picking over a lot of stomachs...

"Southern California might dry up completely if the temperature rose in the way we think it might-making it an impossible place to live, rather than almost impossible the way it is now." The ocean will also grow warmer, and will be forced to release dissolved carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. This will increase the greenhouse effect. At some point in this chain reaction, the Antarctic icecap will melt, adding enough water to the ocean to drown nearly all of the earth's great...
...crust, forming a V-bottomed trench which after many millions of years fills with sediment. Eventually the downward current in the mantle stops flowing. Since the mantle rock at its sides is heavier, it moves in, forcing upward the dragged-down crust and the sediments in the trough.
