The calendar in Genesis 11 allows us to date the breakup of Pangea at about 200 years after the flood caused by the breakup of all the fountains of the great deep (Genesis 7:11, 8:2). In seismology, an aftershock is a smaller earthquake that follows a larger earthquake in the same area of the main shock, caused as the displaced crust adjusts to the effects of the main shock.
Large earthquakes can have hundreds to thousands of instrumentally detectable aftershocks, which steadily decrease in magnitude and frequency according to a consistent pattern. In some earthquakes the main rupture happens in two or more steps, resulting in multiple main shocks.
If we take an unbiased, straightforward translation from the Hebrew we accept that the physical earth is what is reported here. Interpreting the report of this earth division as being caused by the usual aftershocks of the initial massive tectonic upheavals during the flood, as described in that post, is simply to be expected. Geological science confirms this interpretation, while overlaying with the unconfirmed and unscientific long earth ages paradigm as having happened gradually over eons of time.
Another way of breaking up the single mass of people was through the inability to communicate with each other.
““And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.” (Genesis 11:1)
Validating the biblical account, secular linguistics have determined that a single Superlanguage was spoken during the last ice age, corresponding to the glacial conditions that prevailed after Noah’s flood.
