Comparing convection rolls and real time events is one aspect of looking into the details of the magma currents. Earthquakes along the line extending from the Reykjanes Ridge follow very similar pattern. The earthquakes occur on lines crossing the RR extension line. The green stars show earthquakes over 3 on Richter scale.

I have a BS degree in geology, BA in anthropology, graduated in Chinese language and as a certified tourist guide. I provide this website about my contribution to answer the greatest question remaining about our Earth. I have analyzed the convection rolls within the Earth's mantle and how they affect the surface. This makes it possible to provide many interesting examples about geology found on my blog.
