The beginning of part 2

If in the mountains of South America there were only those three large salt marshes, which I talked about in the previous part, then this would already be quite enough as an example of possible traces from the passage of an inertial wave. But in fact, there are much more salt marshes in the mountains of South America. It can even be said that a fairly large area of the highlands, in fact, all existing closed-drainage areas in this area, have salt marshes in their lower part. Moreover, all this salt is located precisely on the surface, that is, it is not a fossil (originating from the bowels of the Earth), which means that it can also be traces of the described catastrophe. Further, I will not describe in detail all the places, since it will take up too much space and time. I will just give a general list of salt marshes in Chile in the form of a table:

I think that this list is more than enough to illustrate the fact that there are not just a lot of salt marshes in the mountains of South America, but a catastrophic amount! Moreover, at the same time, in this region, there are such climatic conditions when the amount of precipitation is minimal, which raises a natural question, how all these salt marshes could have formed at all, if we proceed from the official version? Where did all this salt in the mountains come from? Where did the huge amount of water come from, which is necessary to wash the fossil salt from the soil and carry it to the lowlands in order to form so many salt marshes there? Again, if this salt is exactly fossil, and not brought here by an inertial wave, then where are those deposits of fossil salt, that is, its exits from the bowels of the Earth to the surface?

On the other hand, if we consider the processes that occur when an inertial wave passes through a given territory, then everything immediately falls into place. A huge amount of oceanic salt water was raised into the mountains, but since the Andes in South America are noticeably higher than the Cordillera in the North (or became higher during the catastrophe), the wave could not overcome the mountain ridge and go further to the mainland, as it happened in the North America. Also, due to the fact that the height of the ridges in the Andes is higher, with a smaller total area of the closed area, the volume of water remaining in it turned out to be greater than in the area of the “Great Basin”. Therefore, the amount of salt that remained in the salt marshes of South America after the drying up of this water turned out to be greater.

Apparently for the same reason, the coast of South America in the Chile region does not have traces of severe water erosion, which should have remained when the ocean water, pushed out by the inertial wave, returned back to the Pacific Ocean, since most of the water simply remained in the mountains inside the drainless areas.

Another interesting conclusion follows from the above. During the described disaster, one of the least affected areas from the passage of an inertial wave should be precisely the central part of South America.

But traces of the passage of an inertial wave are observed not only in North and South America. There are many salt marshes in Africa. The large salt marsh Etosha is located in the north of Namibia, at an altitude of 1065 m above sea level, and is also a drainless area.

Another kurpny salt marsh, Makgadikgadi Depression, Botswana. This is what Wikipedia reports about this place: “It is located at an altitude of about 900 meters above sea level. Most of the depression is occupied by the salt lakes Soa and Ntvetve, which turn into salt marshes during the dry season. Makgadikgadi is one of the largest salt lakes on Earth, and ranks first in the world in terms of potash reserves. The Okavango River Delta is located in the depression.

Once upon a time, a large lake was located in the depression, covering an area of more than 80,000 km² and having a depth of 30 meters. Rivers such as the Okavango, Zambezi, and Kwando flowed into the lake. It began to dry out about 10,000 years ago."

That is, they try to tell us about the same fairy tale everywhere. Once there was a lot of water and there was a large lake, but then the water dried up and the lake turned into a salt marsh. Moreover, the time when this happened, in all places is in the region of 10-40 thousand years. Apparently, it is impossible to deny the fact that some time ago there was a lot of water in these places, since very clear and characteristic traces of its presence have been preserved, which cannot be removed or distorted due to their quantity and size. And since these traces have been preserved very well, the time the water was in these areas cannot be pushed too far into the past, since this would already look implausible, since for a longer time the traces should have already begun to disintegrate and disappear.

There are many salt marshes in the north of Africa. The largest of them is El Jerid, a salt lake in Tunisia, which almost completely dries up in summer, turning into a salt marsh. And also the Qattara depression in Egypt, which is part of the Libyan desert, in the deepest places of which there are also salt marshes.

But one of the most interesting formations in Africa is Lake Chad, which is also an internal drainage area, that is, water from it does not enter the world's oceans.

One of the main features of Lake Chad is that the salinity level of its water is very different not only in different parts of the lake, but also in depth. The fact that the water will be more fresh near the mouths of rivers that flow into Chad is quite expected. But it turns out that the saltier water is at the bottom, and the fresher water is at the top. At the same time, salt and fresh water between the lower and upper layers almost does not mix, which is confirmed by long-term observations.

The most interesting fact associated with Lake Chad is that it contains the manatee, which lives along the Atlantic coast of Africa, as well as both freshwater fish and marine species living in salt water.

It goes without saying that there is an official version of the explanation for all this. Allegedly, even 7 thousand years ago, the level of Lake Chad was much higher and the lake was connected by channels through a chain of rivers with the Atlantic Ocean. And then, as dear readers, apparently, have already guessed, "the climate has changed, the lake has dried up, the channels have dried up and the connection with the Atlantic Ocean has been disrupted." By the way, from the moment that Lake Chad is being monitored, its area has been steadily shrinking. That is, the lake continues to dry up.

A large number of salt marshes and salt lakes are observed in northern Africa. The largest formation is El Jerid in Tunisia. In winter it is a salty lake, which in summer dries up almost completely, turning into a salt marsh (marked with a marker on the map).

El Jerid is the largest of such formations, but far from the only one. In fact, all the "lakes" that we see in northern Africa to the left of El Jerid, located already in Algeria, are also salt lakes, turning into salt marshes in summer. Shott-Melgir, Shott-El-Hodna, Zahrez-Shergi, Zahrez-Garbi, etc. All these are salty lakes or salt marshes that are practically not suitable for use on the farm. It is only on the physical map that education data is shown in blue. On a satellite image, all these formations appear as dirty brown spots. If you don’t know where to look, then you don’t really see it.

And this is how these formations look in the photographs of those people who managed to visit there.

Once again, we have not some small salt lake, but a rather large area covered with a large amount of salt. Where did this amount of salt come from in this area? Especially if you consider that archaeological excavations in the area data indicate that relatively recently, according to the official version of history, 4-5 thousand years ago, and if you look at the old maps, then in the 16th century forests grew on these territories, there were cities and settlements in which many people lived, including those who were engaged in cattle breeding and agriculture. But with such an amount of salt, this is, in principle, impossible. Consequently, all this salt appeared here after the forests and cities were destroyed. And it was brought in by the same inertial wave formed after the collision, which swept across Africa from west to east, washing away everything in its path, erasing cities from the face of the Earth and changing river beds.
