Silfra ( Icelandic pronunciation: [ˈsɪl (v)ra]) is a rift formed in the Mid-Atlantic Ridge – the divergent tectonic boundary between the North American and Eurasian plates – and is located in the Þingvallavatn Lake in the Þingvellir National Park in Iceland .
Crack in the Ground is a volcanic fissure about 2 miles (3.2 km) long [1] with depths measuring nearly 30 feet (9 m) below ground level [2] in Central Oregon, United States. The formation of the fissure occurred approximately between 700,000 and 12,000 years ago. [3] The eruptions from the Four Craters Lava Field were accompanied by a slight ...
Plate tectonics (from Latin tectonicus, from Ancient Greek τεκτονικός (tektonikós) 'pertaining to building') [ 1] is the scientific theory that Earth 's lithosphere comprises a number of large tectonic plates, which have been slowly moving since 3–4 billion years ago. [ 2][ 3][ 4] The model builds on the concept of continental ...
