I actually was on a drift dive (SCUBA) through the narrows that tok us over some of the wreckage. Part of the structure apparently lies at about 300 feet depth, too deep for me, coiled into a ring now known as "the colloseum".

        You should describe what you mean by plastic. - et - 1/10/2006 9:36:20 PM
        
        I'm afraid you're right...Plastic deformation, then. - podrock - 1/11/2006 6:31:22 PM
      - Earth's inner core is solid, outer core is liquid and the mantle flows over VERY long periods of time. (n/t) - et - 1/10/2006 5:37:58 PM
