158. Transecting the Yellow Belt! A big discovery that shocked the experts! Earthquakes in the geolo
The road from 8000 meters to 8300 meters is a typical rock and snow mixed belt.
The road is not difficult to walk.
After getting used to the altitude of 8,000 meters, Chu Chen arrived at the assault camp in less than an hour!
in the assault camp.
Chu Chen made the final supply for his summit push!
Ate the last few doughs.
Melt the snow with a kettle.
Then, briefly rested for half an hour.
Just after 1:30 in the morning, I embarked on the journey again and challenged the summit!
soon.
After 8300, Chu Chen successfully stepped into the cross-cutting yellow belt.
The so-called "yellow belt"
As the name suggests, it is a yellow rock formation exposed to ice and snow!
As the altitude increases, there will be more and more rocks across the yellow belt, especially after the amount of 8350!
These rock formations are sedimentary rocks unique to the Himalayas - leuco granite!
From the outside.
Can't see why.
But in fact.
Their existence is of great significance for studying the geological structure and formation history of the entire Mount Everest!
now.
In the studio of CTV!
When he saw these yellow belt stones, Academician Meng became extremely shocked!
Point to those rocks.
After a long pause, he said, tremblingly:
"This... these rocks seem to be the legendary Himalayan granite...""
Speaking, Academician Meng seemed to be unsure, and hurriedly supported the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose.
Then he leaned forward involuntarily.
Keep watching.
watched for a while.
His tone suddenly became excited:
"That's right! This is pale granite!
"Everyone, this is a big discovery! This discovery is likely to subvert our established understanding of Mount Everest!
in the live room.
Seeing him so excited, the audience was a little confused.
He kept asking in the barrage:
【Light-colored granite???】
【what is that???】
【Isn’t this just a pile of broken stones? What’s so exciting!!!】
【My dear, I thought you saw gold, let alone! 】
【That's it!!!】
Academician Meng's remarks.
Bingbing on the side was also a little puzzled.
Seeing this, she hurriedly asked:
"Academician Meng, what is the light-colored granite you just mentioned? Can you tell us in detail `||?"
Hear the host question.
Academician Meng let out a long sigh, adjusted his emotions immediately, and said word by word:
"For a long time, the mainstream geological community has agreed that Mount Everest existed at the beginning of the formation of the Eurasian continent."5
"To this day, this statement has been widely recognized around the world.
"But I have been skeptical of this statement from beginning to end. I have always believed in Mount Everest, which was once a vast ocean..."
Hear what Academician Meng said.
There was chaos in the live broadcast room again.
All kinds of barrages popped up at once:
【Isn’t it? How is this possible?】
【Vast ocean? Stop joking!】
【I don't believe it, unless you can prove it to me!】
【Are you kidding me?】
【Even a primary school student knows that Mount Everest is the highest point on earth.
Many viewers in the live broadcast room disagreed with Academician Meng's point of view!
Because of this, their cognition has been completely subverted!
Then, Academician Meng continued:
"In order to uncover the mystery of Everest, I entered the Chinese Academy of Sciences at the age of 25."
"I have been researching for more than 40 years and have not found strong evidence to support my point of view!
"until today!"
"No accident, in the distant ancient times, Mount Everest was a vast ocean. The reason why it became like this was that it was formed by the collision of the Eurasian plate and the Indo plate. Those rocks are the best proof!"
The words fall.
There are more barrages in the live broadcast room again!
The voices of doubt rose from wave to wave.
but.
In the midst of this voice of doubt, many geologists were awakened by the words of Academician Meng!
You can see what's going on here at a glance!
The sedimentary rocks in the Yellow Belt are not the same as those in the Ice Tower Forest.
But it can still be seen.
This is the result of the formation of magma after high temperature corrosion and metamorphism, and then the solidification of water!
otherwise.
Absolutely not this color.
At an altitude of 8000 meters, where did the magma and water come from?
The only explanation is that this used to be the ocean!
[Academician Meng’s statement seems to make sense. Many years ago, Mount Everest might have really been a vast ocean!]
[From the perspective of geological research, Mount Everest is not a single fixed rock, but consists of three parts from top to bottom, which are the Everest Formation, Bei'ao Formation and Rongbu Formation in turn! 】
[Before this, the mainstream academic circles have made conjectures about how these rock groups are grouped together, but they have never found the correct answer. Now, it may be that the extrusion of the plates caused all this! 】
【If this is the case, this is definitely a big discovery! 】
soon.
After getting more and more recognition, Academician Meng's views spread vigorously on the Internet at the first time!
Many geologists and related practitioners have successively voiced their voices on their personal social platforms!
James Hutton, Godfather of Modern Geology:
[In this way, Mount Everest should be a typical fault block rising mountain! Most of its Precambrian metamorphic rock series basement and overlying sedimentary rock series are thrust fault belts, and the Early Paleozoic strata follow this belt from north to The southern nappe overturned on the ancient strata! 】
Charles Lyle, geologist at the British Academy of Sciences:
[Thanks to this young Chinese man for solving this mystery for us! All along, I have been blinded by his early Ordovician rock performance! In fact, its lower part should be the Cambrian argillaceous rock series! In A long, long time ago, Mount Everest should have been the sea! 】
Eatley geologist Alfred Wegner:
(Zhao Li's) [Unbelievable! It's incredible~!! These Himalayan granites are of great research value. I really hope he can take a piece from it and give it to our scientific research institute for free! 】
German geologist Mary Horner Lyle:
【If possible, I am willing to sell my house in exchange for a precious research specimen!】
In fact, both in the past and in the present.
As the highest peak in the world, Mount Everest is of great value to geological research!
However, because the altitude is too high, people in this world know much less about Mount Everest than in previous lives!
There are almost no related rock specimens and fossil specimens.
Even a piece of knowledge.
All will be priceless!
after all.
Rare is precious!
