What If America Were Split Apart?

Показать описание
The Big One. Those three words make locals along the West Coast of North America shudder with fear. This area is plagued by earthquakes. But hey, at least they are ready. Unlike the middle of the continent, which is woefully unprepared for the event that physically rips the United States in half. What could cause this? What would the destruction look like? Would the U.S. become two separate countries? What are megathrust earthquakes? Will the tectonic plates make even bigger fault lines?

Then aliens wouldn’t go to “earth” they don’t know where to go.

Meanwhile in an alien ship: “Where earth?”

I mean it already is divided, not like it would change much.

What if we kept growing at the same rate after puberty ended? How large would we be by the time people typically die from natural causes and how hard would living be?

For a rift to move that far in 5:17 it would take millions of years

Fun fact: America is already split. We can't get along with each other or have conversations without being labeled a bad person.
