What are some prehistoric deligets?
Most people are familiar with the story of a large flood or floods in the Bible. Less well -known is that in the past there were actually deluges, prehistoric deligets, mostly due to rising sea levels due to ice melting at the end of the last ice age, between 18,000 and 8,000 years. It could inspire flood myths.
In the last ice age, North Eurasia and North America were covered with dense glaciers, which was uninhabitable. As a type of compromise, large areas of soil were now dry once dry, because in the ice caps so much water in the world was locked. This includes Doggerland, the North Sea area between the Great and Netherlands; Beringia, which the early man crossed to get access to America; Tempoland, tropical area in today's Indonesia and many others. Usually this process was too slow to notice, had a taddy or thousands of years, but sometimes it was fast enough to notice in human life, and sometimes assumed,that it was catastrophically occurred as prehistoric deliges.
One of the most frequently discussed deluges is the hypothetical flood of the Black Sea area, which, if it occurred, occurred about 5,600 years ago. The evidence comes in the form of large window sills or furrows that would be caused in a catastrophic overflow. In recent ice, the Black Sea would be disconnected from the Mediterranean. When the Mediterranean increased from water from the melting of ice cap, it would rise above the essential level to release water through the bosphoric and black sea, thereby increasing its depth of up to 300 ft (100 m). This prehistoric flood would flood 60,000 square miles of land.
It is assumed that the next prehistoric deligetykaspic sea has occurred, overflowing into the Black Sea, the Carpentaria plain between Australia and New Guinea, the Aegean Basin and Doggerland. It is assumed that some prehistoric deligets werecaused by rupture of ice dams, such as Missoula floods in today's Washington; Lake Agassiz, located near today's large lakes, but larger than all their volume together; Lake Bonneville, located in today's large basin; And Lake Objibway, north of today's big lakes. Prehistoric deligets, especially caused by the arrival and departure of glaciers and glacier lakes, seem quite common on geological periods.
