Due to the water content of the ringwoodite. Suggests an actual liquid wateriness.
Will you never learn that making stuff up never works for you? The mantle material flows because rock is "plastic" (in the sense of "deformable without breaking") under the high pressure and temperature in the mantle. The ringwoodite and any of its content has nothing to do with it.
Of hydroxide in ringwoodite.
Suggests an actual liquid wateriness that can occur.
No it doesn't. That's crazy even for you. From Wikipedia:
quote:Solubility is the property of a solid, liquid, or gaseous chemical substance called solute to dissolve in a solid, liquid, or gaseous solvent to form a homogeneous solution of the solute in the solvent. ...
Solubility is not to be confused with the ability to dissolve or liquefy a substance, because the solution might occur not only because of dissolution but also because of a chemical reaction.
The Biblical position is that there had been no rain at all prior to that forty days and forty nights, that the water was suspended in the "firmament" overhead and the earth was watered by a "mist."
Even most YECs gave up on that one long ago. It just can't work. No matter where you put the water up above or in the atmosphere, getting it to the ground al liquid water involves releasing so much heat that the only survivors would be a few thermophilic bacteria.
Who gives a damn what you think YECs should think. I don't.
Went right over your head, huh? It's not I think what YECs should think, it's what the majority of YECs do think, especially all of them who have a smidgen of a clue about the properties of water.
We know a lot about the properties of water (hint: Age of Steam) and we know that bringing any appreciable amount of water from the atmosphere or above to the Earth's surface as liquid would release enough heat to boil the oceans and cook everything with thousand-degree temperatures.
