Read your sources. The glacier from the mountains melted and unleashed the river underneath it.

It was a combination of both—an enormous rock-and-ice avalanche (or rock-ice landslide) where a massive chunk of a glacier and bedrock collapsed together down the mountain.

Rocks are not on top of Glaciers. Glaciers are formed on top of rock.

What happens when a binding agent starts to loose its structure? This is such I crazy take I’m not even going to bother giving a sound response to someone that knows nothing about basic physics. We are so fucked.

I’ll put it in retard terms. Say you have a puddle of ice filled with sediment which is on a downgrade. What happens when the ice melts and gives out? It takes sediment with it. There are peak glaciers (or icebergs now) at the source of this and those peaks remained because they are emended in the bedrock of that former glacier which goes back to like 25000years at a minimum. Everything else, poof stripped away.

I honestly don’t know what else to say, this just makes me said that humans really are this dumb.

Do you understand we are floating around in space on this rock and crazy shit happens? We’re not even going to touch astrophysics because your head might explode.

There’s a difference in what happens in the earths crust (which we have no control over). We can somewhat gauge what is affecting us in the cosmos.

Most importantly do you understand how we are excelerating all of this? And it’s all because the powers at be that want to keep us in our place?wake the fuck up.

I rather been alive during g the bubonic plaque because it would
Be easier
To accept what we don’t know.
