This is my work in progress. I am looking at various possible metaphoric extensions in order to delineate the meaning of AW197. </div> <bR> <div> I have started to focalize my attention on some bio- structures that are involved in geological events (<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Arial" ><A HREF="id133.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="CORAL REEF STRUCTURES"><U><B>Corals</B></U></A></FONT>). </div> <div> Wegener's geological paradigm seems to be in tune with the orbital paradigm that is suggested for a KBO such as AW197. </div> <div> Wegener was also a climatologist , and that climate changes that happened in Earth's history are one of his starting points in the delineation of "Plate Tectonics" paradigm. In other words: climate on a plate changes according to the plate's movement towards different longitudes-latitudes, in a very long, geological time. </div> <div> I am searching about a climatic model/paradigm with similar features. Very difficult, however, and my thoughts are still rough. </div> <div> Events in this field are difficult to be watched: e.g., a chart for the "birth" of a hurricane, with exact location and time, is very uncertain. With satellite images, to have further better data may be possible. </div> <bR> <div> It is true that "climate on a plate changes according to the plate's movement towards different longitudes-latitudes, in a very long, geological time", but I have realized that it is summarized too much. </div> <div> Consequently, at the followiing links we have a more extended range of details and argumentations that are a potential support/background for researches about a hypothesized role of AW197 in climatic/ecological events that have some relations with "Plate Tectonics". </div> <div> My feeling is that the orbital paradigm and many suggested keywords for AW197 may be in tune with these dynamics, whether natural, or distorted by human actions.</div> <div>  </div> <div> Oceanic
