In addition, some of the ejected material bombarded the Moon and created many of its present features. But they need not have bombarded the Moon immediately after ejection. [[Russell Humphreys]]' magnetic-field model, combined with findings from samples returned by the crews of [[Apollo 15]] and [[Apollo 16]], suggest that the Moon was bombarded on two other occasions, neither of which coincided with the Flood. More likely: some of the ejecta formed at least two companion [[asteroid]]s: Asteroid 3753 Cruithne, and another, perhaps larger object. And object which, unlike Cruithne, flew in an orbit ''coincident'' with the plane of the ecliptic, instead of significantly inclined from it. That object then passed too close to the Moon and broke apart. Many of the fragments then struck the Moon on one face, creating the lunar "maria" and locking that hemisphere of the Moon to face the Earth permanently. ''In addition,'' two or more fragments of this companion asteroid struck the ''Earth.'' One might in fact have made the [[Arizona]] Meteor Crater. The impacts threw up enough dust to shade some of the lands of the Eastern Hemisphere and disrupt the rain patterns over the sources of the two major tributaries to the [[Nile]] River. If that disruption lasted for seven years, we now have the cause of the Biblical [[Famine in Egypt]].

Some organic matter (which undoubtedly even included whole fish and dolphins) must also have been ejected, and indeed organic matter was found in the frozen polar craters on Mercury.

Some organic matter (which undoubtedly even included whole fish and dolphins) must also have been ejected, and indeed organic matter was found in the frozen polar craters on Mercury. Many of the comets incorporated more of this organic matter. Some comets (like Comet Hartley 2) emit [[cyanide]] gas, a product of bacterial metabolism, to this day. More to the point, the [[dwarf planet]] [[Pluto#The Hydroplate Theory|Pluto]] has a frozen lake of [[carbon monoxide]] in the western part of its now most famous continuous plain. Carbon monoxide almost certainly came from a wood fire burning in a confined space. That fire could have burned in the core of Pluto, after the heat of accretion started it.

The Americas were shoved violently to the west and opened a gap that persists today as the [[Atlantic Ocean]]. In the process, they formed two north-south mountain ranges (perpendicular to their direction of motion, naturally): the [[Appalachian Mountains]] in the eastern [[United States]], and the [[Rocky Mountains]] and [[Andes Mountains]] to the west of [[North America]] and [[South America]], respectively. To the Far East, the [[Asia]]n continent collided with the land masses of [[Europe]] and created the [[Himalayas]].

Directly opposite the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, depressions formed. These persist today as the [[Mariannas Trench]] and especially the [[Challenger Depth]], two of the deepest places in all the earth's [[ocean]]s.
