- As your average undergraduate wondering about the future, I just gotta
- ask -- is there any future left in geophysics these days? I'd sure like
- to be employed when (er, IF) I graduate...

- Erm. That bit about meteors having enough momentum to move plates --
- w'm not convinced. Because a meteor's impact is a *sudden* shock,
- wouldn't its energy largely be carried off in seismic waves? Sudden
- shocks don't tend to produce long-period motion...
