Continents Emerged As Rock Foam. Earth Nuclear Engine & Moon Played A Role. Crucial For Biogenesis

Abstract: It seems that Earth started as a water world. Continents were the light debris of plate collisions and long stayed very small and rare. However the tiny continents played a crucial role in the rise of life, which in turn removed the methane, and that, in turn, enabled much larger continents, while burying much water in the upper mantle. So here is the riddle of Earth: a lot of what…

Madeira, Portugal: Madeira is an autonomous region of Portugal. It is an archipelago situated in the North Atlantic Ocean, in the region of Macaronesia, just under 400 kilometres north of the Canary Islands, 520 kilometres west of the Kingdom of Morocco and 805 kilometres southwest of mainland Portugal. Madeira sits on the African Tectonic Plate, although it is culturally, politically and ethnically associated with Europe, with its population predominantly descended from Portuguese settlers. The capital of Madeira is Funchal, on the main island’s south coast. Wikipedia

2024: Grjótagjá, Iceland. This is rift faulting in basalts on the eastern side of Lake Myvatn. I was able to swim here 27 years ago but it is now too hot. For GOT enthusiasts, it is the place where they filmed Jon Snow and Ygritte becoming very close, special friends.
