At the mid Atlantic crack, equidistant ridges are on both sides. The 
dating of the ridges is 5k yrs. Each one shows a reversal of the Earth's 
magnetic poles. The ridges are spaced at 5k yrs., the youngest is 5k yrs.
Has any serious investigation been done as to which calamities caused thes
crack to open and surge out a ridge, and are we due for another calamity 
soon?
