Yeah, I've already come to that conclusion that an extinction event caused solely by water or a water phenomenon is not possible. I've moved on to consider other ideas, and I'm considering earthquakes as the basis for my event now, as on a large scale, earthquakes are dangerous but also lead to...

I did read your answers in the last thread and thank you for that. I was not ignoring those answers, but I wanted to restate my questions as the focus in this thread so that if I received any additional feedback or answers, it would actually be on this topic since everyone else in that thread...

Just because something has been done before doesn't mean that it shouldn't be done again. Yes, floods have been done before, and while you can say that makes them overused, I can also say that their establishment in existing stories and their familiarity gives excellent opportunity for certain...

If for any reason, the moon were forced into a more extreme elliptical orbit to earth where its perigee was much closer to earth and its apogee was much farther, what kind of affects would we expect to see? Also, would the moon's perigee cause more frequent or more severe earthquakes?
