04 the halfway house granite dome in south africa as evidence of a global flood
DESCRIPTION
The Northern half of Johannesburg is situated on the Halfway House Granite dome, a 50 kilometer diameter igneous rock dome that upthrust into the sedimentary rocks baking them into ceramic quartzite -- further evidence of the massive disruption of the earth associated with the Global Catastrophe or Flood -- see http://www.end-time-issue-ministries.org/Flood.aspx for more informationTRANSCRIPT

The earth has a molten rock core

What is a dome?Upthrust of molten rock through a weakzone in the earth’s crust
Forces up horizontally bedded rocks in an arch over the intrusion
Bakes them as in a furnace and converts to semi-vitreous (ceramic) quartzite, etc – extremely hard rock

Rapid cooling of molten granite
Dr Robert Gentry presents research that evidences that the Granite rocks on the surface of the earth cooled rapidly
Consistent with the above explanation
Refer subsequent sections – this supports an understanding that the molten rock may have come into contact with massive volumes of freezing cold water and therefore solidified almost instantly

The rock was NOT rock at the timehard rock would shatter if bentfor example – ceramic tile

The rock was NOT rock at the timehard rock would shatter if bentor NOT break at all – thicker ice

Quartzite – evidence of intense heat

Subsequent further igneous activityDykes and faults
Randpark Ridge Mylonite Dyke (intrusion through Granite)
Dolerite intrusion through Granite
Much other disruption

Summing upHuge -- how?
The scale is huge about 50 km diameter at the surface
The vertical displacement of the top of the dome is at LEAST 7,000 meters (26 Hillbrow Towers)
The sedimentary deposits were converted to extremely hard vitreous (ceramic) quartzite
This had to happen quickly before the granite solidified that is “froze”
The disruption of the surface of the earth is staggering
How could something like this happen?
Will it happen again?
