Geological Concerns Over Earth's Crust Integrity
Sir Charles Eggerston
A crack in the world? Gentlemen! Gentlemen! Don't let this fall apart. We have work to do. We must hear Dr. Rampion complete his report. You were saying that the crack is extending to the east.
[Meeting erupts in chaos]
Dr. Ted Rampion
Along the Macedo Trench. It's following a geological flaw in the Earth's crust, known as the Macedo Fault. That runs from here, to the tip of India, veers off towards Indonesia, and terminates off the Australian continental shelf.
Sir Charles Eggerston
How do you know that the crack will stop there?
Dr. Ted Rampion
We don't.
Sir Charles Eggerston
What if the crack keeps going? Right around the world? What happens then?
Dr. Ted Rampion
Where the land masses split, the oceans will be sucked in, and the colossal pressure generated by the steam will rip the Earth apart, and destroy it.
Indian Ambassador
You mean, the world will come to an end?
Dr. Ted Rampion
