Re: It just keeps adding up -- the earth is OLD.
Hi Elhardt
Regarding the Planes on the ice, you can see this link
CD410: Airplanes Buried in Ice
The thing is the planes did not land on a stable ice field, where the cores are drilled, but near the coast, and on an active glacier. The snowfall near the shore is much larger than further inland.
Where was the dig you mention in the documentary? Was it the same conditions ad where ice cores are drilled, or was it a less stable environment?
Besides that , you would expect the top layers to be thicker. The further down you come the thinner the layers, a part of this is because of compression, but part is because the weight presses the layers so that the layers both become thinner and they expand. This causes the ice to travel away, and eventually be expelled into the sea, because the layer stretches as it thins out.
