#geologically — Public Fediverse posts

The Gulf of Mexico is merely a synonym for this effect - THIS CAN also happen to us in the Mediterranean.

The strong winds whip up the water, which in turn affects the seabed ... I can't say what THAT means for some #geologically sensitive areas ( Santorini & Columbus submarine🌋 immediately come to mind, as do the tectonic plates )

#Earthquakes and active #volcanoes along subduction zones can also trigger #tsunamis in the #Mediterranean region.

#Geologically, the #Germancapital, #Berlin, is a remnant of a region situated near a #glacial #terminalmoraine. The #city's natural chains of #lakes date back to this era. However, even restored #artificial #bodiesofwater—such as the #Flughafensee, pictured below—adapt to the typical #wetlandecology characterized by thick layers of #sand.

But how much energy is transformed into heat? Why is #Saturn's other moon #Mimas not as #geologically active as its sister #Enceladus? What does this mean for #Earth?

These are all big questions and leads us to our final chapter of this thread. But first, I need to take a break and wash our dishes!
