Ever tell you folks that I am not a scientist. In case I haven't, I'm telling you now. (Background music by Freddie and the Dreamers slowly fades.) Heck, I didn't even care for science (of any kind) in my early learning years. Soooo, please forgive me my elementary outline below...
AND please correct me on any point --- will be glad to learn from you.
All play on one another, and some depend on an other, but for the sake of drawing a verbal picture, here I go, without use of technical terms (question marks where I doubt myself):
1. Hefty celestial body, AKA Aggressor, approaches?
2. Sun responds
a. CMEs/solar flares http://theextinctionprotocol.wordpress.com/2011/08/01/russian-scientists-to-explore-link-between-sun-and-natural-disasters/
1. magnetosphere damage?
2. other Earth damages?
3. hypersensitives suffer?
4. weather affected?
5. animal life cycles affected?
b. Heat index increases/decreases
3. Earth's core responds, in turn
4. Magma heats up and flow increases, randomly
5. a. Ice melts, causing land to rise

http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg21128235.300-antarctica-rising-as-ice-caps-melt.html
b. Waters heat up
1. marine life suffers
c. Earthquakes and volcanoes multiply
1. land altered
2. loss of life, land, water
d. Inner earth gases are released?
1. loss of some types of life?
e. Erratic weather?
6. Tectonic plates shift
a. Lands adjust
1. earthquakes
2. tsunamis
These may all seem dumb to you, but maybe, just maybe another member, like myself, needs it drawn out like this... and some of you can help those of us, who do need it, get it straight in our heads.
Thanks, in advance. :)
