Article Summary

We use the global network of magma surge channels as the center piece of our speculations on the nature of a new cycle of geophysical disturbances. Here are the generalized steps that might occur to bring on world-wide Earth changes.

• The greater portion of Japan will sink into the sea, acting as a piston to fluid magma in the surge channels.  (Sinking will be due to pole shift or to ongoing cooling and shrinking of the upper mantle beneath the Japanese islands.)
  
  
• Pressurized surge channels will lead to mountain building in some places or to sinking of Earth's crust in others.  Lands will rise in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.  Buckling will occur in surface rocks in many places as a result of altered stress distributions.   Earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions will be commonplace for a thousand years.
  
  
• As support for our speculations that combine scientific data with Earth-change predictions in a Cayce psychic reading, we provide recently published evidence of magma flow in a surge channel that originates in the Canary Islands mantle plume and moves under northwestern Africa to the Mediterranean Sea.
