And before that - the center of the US was ocean, the Applications were massive mountains
along with those towering in Chicago and Long Island... N.Y. The Western mountains
were ground level and thinking of rising. When the oceans retreated, the great
Redwood forest spread across this region - being feed by the moisture from the Pacific.

Once the mountains in the west rose, it cut off the moisture, killed the massive trees
and continued ice flows and pooling of water - created the Grand Canyon, petrified forest(Redwoods)
and Nevada and Az rock and sand - beautiful Utah and the like. Ugly badlands up north.

How about the latest ice age being over? Now all we need is a
plausible explanation for ice ages.

How about a lack of green house gasses. It sounds like we may have two 90
degree phase lags here.



The evidence is that the planet's climate has swung to extremes in the
past, with maybe some periodic inputs (orbit, solar output) and maybe
some random ones (vulcanism, cosmic gamma/cosmic ray flux, galactic
interactions.) We appear to be on a natural warming slope right now,
anyhow.

Central USA was once a tropical jungle, and it was once scoured by
glaciers, with no help from us.
