James Maxlow would be a good person to answer this because he is a geologist with special interest in Australia

James’s interest in Earth expansion stems from working in the Pilbararegion of Western Australia. The Pilbara region is a huge domal structure,hundreds of kilometres across. There, chemically deposited banded ironand silica-rich sedimentary rocks form the largest deposits of iron-ore inthe world.

What was so intriguing to James was that the bedded sediments, rightdown to fine sedimentary laminations seen in the iron-ore, could becorrelated between widely separated sites for distances of over 300 kilo-metres. As you drive through the Pilbara region, the exact same sequenceof rocks and fine banded structures are exposed everywhere along the hillsand escarpments.
