In addition, this water created a cascade that arced very high in the [[atmosphere]] and fell as rain, for forty days and nights, as the Bible says. This water would reach very high indeed, not only because it had been confined under pressure, but also because the ten-mile-thick crustal plates would "flap" with the water's passage and create pumping action and "water hammer" to drive the water even higher. Brown estimates that one percent of this water, together with vast quantities of mud and rock, achieved [[escape speed]] and persists today as [[comet]]s, [[asteroid]]s, [[meteor]]oids, and the ice deposits that have already been demonstrated on the [[Moon]], the [[planet]] [[Mercury]], and most recently on the [[planet]] [[Mars]]. In addition, many of the ejected rocks may have bombarded the Moon and created many of its present features—although [[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.

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 [[Applachian 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.
