Comparing Tectonics of Iceland and Norway 30° Apart

Comparing Iceland and Norway at the same latitudes 30° apart should lead to some analogy due to the same pattern of convection rolls. Here is an example.

East and North Volcanic Zones of Iceland

The similarity is quite striking. A NS-structure is found accurately 30° east of the North Volcanic Zone of Iceland, which is aligned exactly NS. The bending structure connecting with the NE-SW oriented East Volcanic Zone of Iceland is found exactly at the same latitude in Norway. In addition, the points 30° apart, of Hekla in Iceland and in the Trondheim area in Norway, are aligned exactly in the same way.
