Timfish Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 Curious how that channel formed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Grog Posted November 3, 2023 Author Share Posted November 3, 2023 One side is the European plate the other side is the American plate. The tectonic plates are separating. Iceland is actually growing because the plates are splitting apart. Unlike San Andreas where one plate is pushing under the other. Their electricity is basically free, one of the only inexpensive things there. All their power comes from geothermal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
