== Observations to explain ==

The Hydroplate Theory seeks to explain a number of observations, both Biblical and extra-Biblical. The Biblical explanations are found in Genesis chapters 6-8: a rupture of deep-underground springs ([[Hebrew]] '''כל-מעינת תהום''' or ''khal-mayanah tahown'', translated as "fountains of the great deep" in the [[KJV]]), a torrential rainfall lasting for forty days and nights, water covering the highest elevations then existing to a depth of more than twenty-five feet (fifteen long [[cubit]]s), and all this water covering the surface for 150 days and then receding, almost as if they had never been. The extra-Biblical explanations include the fitting-together of the [[continent]]s of the earth like a gigantic jigsaw puzzle, the outlines of the Mid-Oceanic Ridge system, the findings of sedimentary rock and even marine fossils at the highest elevations, and the existence of [[comet]]s, [[asteroid]]s, and [[meteor]]oids.

The extra-Biblical explanations include:

 

#The fitting-together of the [[continent]]s of the earth like a gigantic jigsaw puzzle.

#The outlines of the Mid-Oceanic Ridge system, especially the Mid-Atlantic Ridge that ''parallels'' the shores of the Americas to the west and Europe and Africa to the east.

#The findings of sedimentary rock and even marine fossils at the highest elevations.

#The distribution of [[ocean]] trenches, [[earthquake]]s, and the [[Ring of Fire]].

#The existence of [[comet]]s, [[asteroid]]s, [[meteor]]oids, the moons of [[Mars]] and all the [[gas giant]] [[planet]]s (except only the [[Galilean Moons]] of [[Jupiter]] and some, but not all, the Large Moons of [[Saturn]], and the subglacial oceans known or suspected to rest on [[Europa]], [[Ganymede]], and [[Enceladus]].

#The existence of [[radioactive decay|radioactive materials]] on earth and on the surface of the [[Moon]] but not buried deep on it.
