It can be useful to make a model. How do the two parts of Iceland drift apart? The system is double, but the main division line can be shown like this:
In this way, the role of the South Iceland Seismic Zone can be visualized more clearly.
Model making of Iceland
Published by Steingrimur Thorbjarnarson
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. View all posts by Steingrimur Thorbjarnarson
