ABSTRACT: Some volcanic events including flood basalt
eruptions and hotspots on earth may strongly be related to (chaotic) Asteroid
impacts and (more periodic) near solar system Supernovae explosions. Impacts
may define some of the eruption sites and Supernovae, their intensity. The accompanied heat event can lead to a sedimentary basin on top, where a
metamorphic process in the lower crust provides a depression at the surface of
the earth due to rock volume reduction by water release. The definitely
alternating heat event may generally be fixed to the original geographically
defined impact site and can certainly last hundreds of Million years. Plate
tectonics distribute the relicts of the (tornado like spiraling upwards?)
volcanism across the globe. The Hawaiian volcanic hotspot and its possible
origin in Northern Australia beginning with the eruptions of Cambrian Antrim
flood basalts and a speculative initiating earlier Asteroid impact may act as a
further example. Similar to the footprints of astronomical events on climate and life on earth geological
processes like volcanism,
metamorphism within the earth’s crust and subsequent sedimentary basin
development may also be marks of some cosmic influence.
