Above photo shows the large view of the thrusting occurring in the Paleozoic over Mesozoic rocks near Las Vegas, Nevada- as shown by GOOGLE EARTH and its measuring tools. The action is still occurring, under the impetus of EARTH TIDES and the creation of sinks and expansion of the shear circle rotating about the region. This region has ever-expanding circles or rings enlarging with time, from the rule of 10-20 mm/year extension of the arcuate diameter.
ABOVE CALCULATIONS INDICATE THAT THE KEYSTONE THRUST HAS OCCURRED WITHIN THE LAST 6 MILLION YEARS, OR WITHIN THE LATE MIOCENE UNTIL NOW. THE SHEAR CIRCLES SHOW THAT EARTH TIDES HAVE SLOWED AND THEN ACCELERATED THE WESTERN MOVEMENT FROM THE NORMAL LUNAR TIDES OF 20.48MM/YR. TO A MUCH REDUCED SOLAR TIDAL RATE OF LESS THAN 10, AND FINALLY UP TO 33, RESULTING IN AN AVERAGE NET 19MM/YR OVERALL. THIS HAS OCCURRED WHILE THE 3 ARCS PIVOT ABOUT A COMMON FULCRUM. THE OVERALL MOVEMENT RESULTS IN A THRUSTING OF OLDER PALEOZOIC ATOP THE YOUNGER MESOZOIC. THE PHENOMENON IS MUCH YOUNGER THAN THE GEOLOGISTS' ASSERTION THAT IT OCCURRED DURING THE SEVIER OROGENY (WHICH WAS OLDER THAN THE LARAMIDE OF 64 M.Y.). THIS IS ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF MILANKOVITCH CYCLES ROTATING IN TIMES NEAR THE ELTANIN EVENT- IN THIS CASE OF MULTIPLES OF THE SIMPLEST 40-41 K.Y. POLAR WOBBLE. NOTE: FLAT POLAR WOBBLES USUALLY PERTAIN TO RISING PLATEAUS- SUCH AS THE COLORADO PLATEAU, BUT MAY RELATE TO FLAT AND LEVEL SINKS, SUCH AS THE CEDAR POCKET ROTATION AT HIWAY I-15 AND THE PARAGUANT FAULT OF 2 M.Y. AGE.
KEYSTONE THRUST IS PART OF A LARGE ROTATION OF THE CRUST, WHICH WAS SHEARED DURING THE INTERVAL OF TIME SINCE THE LATE MIOCENE. IT INCLUDES THE TIME OF THE ICE AGE, AND IT NOW APPEARS THAT THERE WAS EXPANSION DURING THIS TIME SINCE THE BASIN AND RANGE OPENED (A 13 M.Y. TIME PERIOD), AND THAT AFTER THE ELTANIN EVENT, THERE WAS AN ELLIPTICAL DISTANCING OF THE EARTH FROM THE SUN TO CAUSE THE AVERAGE TEMPERATURE TO DECREASE. THIS IS HINTED FOR THIS GOOGLE EARTH MEASUREMENT AND ANALYSIS, SHOWING THAT THE EARTH TIDES INCREASED DRAMATICALLY TO THE EAST- TO BE LATER FOLLOWED BY A SHARP REDUCTION. ALL THIS WAS TO CREATE A NET AVERAGE OF 19-20 MM/YR (AVERAGING BOTH SMALLER AND LARGER EARTH TIDES). THIS MAGNITUDE IS NORMAL FOR NORTH AMERICA, AND OCCURS WHENEVER THERE IS CONVEX TO THE WEST ARCS (AS IS SHOWN FOR ALL THREE OLDER MOUNTAIN RANGE DEVELOPMENTS):
THE SUN PLAYS A ROLE IN CREATING THE FIGURE 8 DISPLAYS, OR ANALEMMAS, SUCH AS THIS WARM SPRINGS HEADWATERS OF THE MUDDY RIVER, NV. THE SUN FORMS AN ANALEMMA WITH ITS PATH IN A GIVEN YEAR. THIS HAS TWO PARTS: AN UPLIFT, WHICH IS EITHER 2.5 TIMES THE AXIAL OR FLAT-AND-LEVEL WOBBLE OF THE POLE, OR A SINK, WHICH IS 1/1.62 PARTS OF THE RISE. THIS CASE HAS A TONGUE OF SEDIMENTARY ROCK SEPARATING THE TWO SHEARING ROTATIONS, AND APPEARS TO DEVELOP BOTH THROUGHOUT TIME (LESS THAN 1 M.Y. AS CALCULATED HERE). THE RATIO 1.62 IS ALSO THE RATIO OF EARTH DAYS.VENUS DAYS IN A GIVEN YEAR, SO THAT THERE APPEARS TO BE CONSIDERABLE REDUNDANCY IN THE GRAVITATIONAL SYSTEM FOR THE SUN.
