[dorianbrightmusic]

are there any pokemon fans with a special interest in geology or tectonics out there? for nerd reasons, i need to know how Mt. Coronet formed, what its vague characteristics might be, and generally what this implies for the geography of Sinnoh as a whole. thank you!

Incredible Footage of the Volcanic Eruption in Iceland

On December 18, a volcano surfaced on Iceland's Reykjanes peninsula, near Grindavik and the Blue Lagoon. This event marked the awakening of volcanoes in the region after an eight-century dormancy. 

The emergence was triggered by the movement of the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates pulling apart. 

Preceding the eruption, the area had been experiencing earthquakes for two months. Due to concerns that the volcano might surface under Grindavik, a town with nearly four thousand residents, evacuation measures were implemented on November 10.

World maps and local maps of northwestern Europe from across the Phanerozoic. This room also had a big world map on a screen with a kind of ship's wheel you could turn to go back and forth in time. It went all the way back to 750 million years ago (a little while before the first Snowball Earth) and all the way forward to 250 million years hence (when all our continents will have collided and formed Pangea Proxima).

Pyrrhian Tectonic Plates

Hello people! So, passing by here to show just a little work here, how I imagine would be the tectonic plates and movements from Pyrrhia.

(I hope the movements make sense, I really do!)

Well, so, mainly here, the Claws of the Clouds Mountain Range is formed by the collision of the two major tectonic plates that form Pyrrhia, which I did not named :|

Something that Wof really lacks is environmental disasters... Literally, it just happens a volcan eruption twice in the same place, and its implied that the Bay of Thousand Scales suffers hurricanes, while in Pantala, the same.

A world is more dynamic that than... Perhaps this could be my next topic, where all Pyrrhia’s destruction elements can be located! (Or not!)

To be honest, I did that because it would be interesting to imagine Pyrrhia of idk how millions of years ago, how those parts separated from each other would look like and their ecosystems and... pre-dragon life forms there? Hmm...

I still wonder if I am going to mess with the dragons biology or not...

The Eagle - L’Aquila (where I lived in the winter of 1999-2000)

Antoine Cassar

And in the middle of a night all things suddenly trembled: the city, the darkness, the blood.

Like a toy in the fist of a furious orphan the mountain shook with a groan and the dollhouses crumbled under a balsam of dust.

The skin of the world gave way, the knee of Italy folded, the map changed colours and shapes, the land became a restless sea.

Here the room packed with books of Via D'Annunzio, here the cotton-white night of a long kiss in Via dei Torreggiani, here the flowering market row upon row of Piazza Duomo, here the sickly commerce in the jolted intestine of the Corso - memories of memories crumbled.

In the time of a shattered tick what we men built like lace fiercely lightens upon us, eclipses us, sweeps us, and again teaches us that we are nothing more than a flash of lightning, a speck of stardust, a tiny fleck of earth. Under the cracked clock an eagle screeches - perhaps for she has just realised that she was born without wings, perhaps for she has understood that in the wide netting of the stars the destiny of life resides not, but rather swims, waits, rumbles kneaded in the muds of the creaking cauldron underground.

Once you see crevices in huge section of solid rock, you can't not see them anymore.

In fact, once you see a solid wall of rock with a pretty significant space behind it as if a Titan tried to slice it off the mountain, it's really hard not to see that... anymore.

Our experience in Capitol Reef National Park was filled with that specific revelation.

Some rocks. Some boulders. Some cliff faces...

Seem barely to be hanging on.

The great and different experience we had at this National Park as opposed to Zion and Bryce is that we were pretty much on our own to explore. Or maybe the truth is that there are more formations to explore that are either next to the main road or conveniently not far from the road. So we got a closer look at what now seem to me as assemblages of rock rather than solid mountains or canyons that are of a piece.

It's like everything's pressed up together in these awkward and odd formations, held together, held in place, by gravity.

Most of the time.

An interestingly equivalent experience to being in the park... was leaving the park.

Usually for me, when you leave some special area you enter normal landscape. Or at least normal-ish.

But heading east out of Capitol Reef National Park, you enter this landscape that coulda been a national park. You enter this space that someday might look like Capitol Reef or Bryce or Zion.

There's something more elemental about it.

There's something more raw.

But I also might be thinking about this wrong. Because it might be that Capitol Reef, that Bryce, that Zion...

May one day look like this.

I didn't get any photographs or video because there were no turn outs next to the road.

This is all stuff you're just supposed to drive through.

The only name I caught for it on a sign was Cathedral Valley. But that was pretty early on when the word "cathedral" seemed to refer to large groups of squat though conical formations of what appeared to be sand.

And maybe "groups" isn't the right word. These were repetitions in the landscape both horizontally and vertically.

Eventually the bit of town and grass and trees and conical sand repetitions gave way to these huge formations on the right that I can only describe as what happens when children take a bucket of brown sand on the beach, turn the bucket over right on the beach, then remove the bucket. It was a wall of that, maybe ten stories high, probably higher, that just kept going as we drove.

On the left,.about half as tall, it's like children tried to make a bunch of mountains of gray sand that were worm down a little by water.

And that kept going, too.

Later, all of that gives way to the conical sand formations again.

And then those give way to cones of sand. Like, five story cones of sand, probably larger.

And then the brown sand again, big as before, probably bigger. But this time as if it had been shaped on top of the grey sand cones.

Shaped?

Yeah.

You can make out angular roofs. You can make out turrets. And, as they become even larger and farther away, they begin to look like castles.

And fortresses.

And then they're farther away, spread out across the landscape at which point they absolutely look like faraway castles and fortresses.

It's a helluva thing to experience.

Eventually, these outcroppings give way to what looks like a white sand desert on which groups of one or two story conical mounds prevail.

Here... there be wind.

Lots of wind.

Forceful wind.

In the distance, the cones of sand are taller and white and, etched around their edges are series of black lines. Like multiple tracks. Or Spirograph lines.

A lot of these cones seem to be scooped out a bit on the sides facing me. But still with those black Spirograph lines running up and around their edges.

And that wind, that forceful wind, is blowing the white, light colored sand against and amongst those scooped out cones of white sand.

But just there.

Not where we're driving. Not in front of us. Not to the other side of us.

Just there.

It was as cinematic an image as I experienced in real life.

After that, three more quick things.

The first builds on the idea of rock assemblages. Because at some point we're driving on a road across prairie and sometimes dune landscape and off to our left in the distance is a mountain range that looks like massive beach rocks stacked vertically at an angle.

As far. As my eyes. Could see.

The second builds on the castle formations but with hard edges rounded by the wind, I'm guessing. Making them look very Egyptian.

And the third goes back to the castles and fortresses because we eventually came across one that was huge and wide along the freeway. In front of it, though, was a much shrunken version of that same thing, but melted in a way.

My first thought, of course, was that the one in front will someday be the one in back.

Except.

That's not how geology works.

The more likely thing is that the one in back will someday be the one in front that will someday be sand on prairie.

So yeah.

Once you see crevices in huge sections of solid rock, you can't not see them anymore.

Once you see a solid wall of rock with a pretty significant space behind it as if a Titan tried to slice it off the mountain, it's really hard not to see that... anymore.

Once you see mountains as assemblages as if they were some rudimentary form of Transformer... you see it everywhere.

And once you see the effects of time and erosion, well...

That's just kind of sad.

🙁
