Three factors can be pointed out when looking at the basic features of Iceland. First, the ridges south and north of the country, second, the volcanic zones, third, the elliptical abyss around it. The elliptical form is disrupted by the two ridges, and the said two ridges are not connected due to the fact that a main volcanic zone, called the East Volcanic Zone (EVZ) appears 3° farther to the east than the Reykjanes Ridge. Theoretically, the two ridges can be extrapolated to a central point of Iceland. Doing so, the point where the join each other appears to be the central point of the elliptical form of the abyss.

The drawing, superimposed on a Google Map and a map with basic information about the volcanic zones, shows this quite clearly in a very simple way. The volcanic zones are marked red with a degree of tranparency, and theoretical extrapolation of ridges with yellow line. This mathematical outline of the Icelandic geological framework is of course quite unique, but can all the same be compared with a range of mathematical coherence in other areas. The distribution of land mass and ocean along equator is probably the most amazing mathematical sequence, where 30° separate the main features repeatedly. This can be explained according to the Mantle Convection Rolls Model, as the convection rolls follow mathematical rules and affect the surface accordingly.
