Dynjandi, a mighty waterfall, is located in the Western Fjords area of Iceland, far away from the volcanic zones. Still the orientation of the waterfall can be calculated in the same way as the volcanic zones:
It is located on 65.7°N, about the same latitude as Dettifoss. So those two waterfalls are aligned the same way!
I am a geologist, graduated from the University of Iceland, and taught geology for a few years. I have gained some knowledge about Earth's inner structure, so I provide this website as my contribution to answer one of the greatest questions remaining within the realm of geoscience. Experiments show that the mantle should form convection rolls when close to the melting point. I took this literally, and calculated the dimensions and shape of these mantle convection rolls. Then I compare that model with the surface. This makes it possible to provide many interesting examples about geology found on my blog.
