During expansion in a vacuum surface features can be altered.
Could this lend a clue to what caused the earth's surface to fracture prior to the great flood of Noahs time?
Here are a few of the images from the vacuum chamber experiment to demonstrate the consequences to the ridgid surface of a pliable body as it is exposed to a vacuum. Fracturing was expected and is seen by the exposed with are in the last four images. The last of those is without vacuum applied. The surface was smooth at atmospheric pressure. Pressures during image capture ranged from 18 to 22 in. HG. Vac.
