The logo for Ocean Earth, a chart of the concavities of the world as they spiral around what is said to have been the immediately-prior North Pole, at present Trondheim, results from the recognition that polar-projected satellite data shows spiral formations, counter-clockwise in the northern hemisphere, clockwise in the southern.
The Dutch dancer and choreographer Petra Rhijnsburger asked for a diagram of the world based on this spiral, at least in the northern hemisphere, which would - if possible - also incorporate the Ocean Earth mapping of the concavities, or basins, of the planet. She wanted to be able to produce a dance surface with body movements mimicking global movements.
In 1987 in Sweden, it was learned that geologists are supposing that the North Pole used to be centered on Trondheim: drawing therefrom, Ocean Earth discovered that the concavities, or basins, followed a reasonably consistent spiral, similar to that of clouds today. After some eons, presumably, the spiral of basins would conform with the North Pole of today: land masses move slower than cloud masses.
Subsequent inquiries into geology, plus the imagery of the long chain of out-spiralling plates, particularly one spinning from the Bering Sea (starting point through the Arabian Peninsula and Africa, the longest train, suggested that some cataclysmic event had shifted the pole from one axis to another, and had forced the outlying, longest train of basins to buckle, with one basin being shoved under the other, producing what are today the largest entrapment of giant marine algae in the world, hence the largest fields of oil and gas in the world.
The spiralling trains of concavities terminate around California, around the eastern edge of the Pacific Ocean. The ridges and basins align from the starting point to that terminus in waves. Each wave, relative to the current North Pole, is at a roughly 30-degree angle. This is precisely the main angle of the veins of trapped oil and gas deposits throughout the world. It is also the angle of the pinched plates, forming a ridge, aligned through the North Sea oil fields, Mount Sinai, Mecca and numerous other significant sites, exhibited in line at the Biennale di Venezia. It is also the main mountain ranges in north-hemispheric Americas - and in the Fish Lake constructed by Iraq in its war with Iran.
A diagram of the spiral of basins for the then-southern hemisphere would suggest a very different Bild, in mirror reverse, of historical significance.
