One pretty cool geological fun fact is that the Scottish Highlands, the Appalachians, and the Atlas are the same mountain range, once connected as the Central Pangean Mountains.

@VeroniqueB99 my partner has reminded me that #Newfoundland is at the intersection of several tectonic plates, as well as mid-image in the post above.

Here’s a piece from a member of the North Atlantic Working Group studying this, who noted that beyond Newfoundland much of the information about this #geologicalhistory lies in inaccessible seabed.

New research has found that the continents ended up where they are today because of previous plate tectonic processes that controlled how Pangaea broke apart.
