Reykjanes Ridge and Kolbeinsey Ridge Follow the Same Convection Rolls

Steingrimur Thorbjarnarson

The two ridges soutn and north of Iceland are actually of the same origin. This can be shown by comparing their location with the convection rolls model. This map shows the alignment of Kolbeinsey Ridge:

Kolbeinsey Ridge as mapped in the article: https://reader.elsevier.com/reader/sd/pii/S0012821X16000510?token=1F7B05FAFE21448B2EFF8D0701F43C3B0DB5F4495595A70607BC3295D75EF6359DAB5D00879E08A8465863AA4CA8BEC6
Reykjanes Ridge and Kolbeinsey Ridge

Within the interval of close to 63°N to 67°N, the two ridges are separated within the intersection zone of convection rolls.

I have a BS degree in geology and provide this website about my analysis of convection rolls in the Earth's mantle and how they affect the surface.
