#KnowledgeBit: #Orogeny, or mountain building, is the result of collision between two landmasses.

This may occur via collision of continental crust (continent-continent collision) or when oceanic and continental crust collide (ocean-continent collision).

This week's #NewBooks at the library:
- I bought a second-hand copy of #Isotopes: Principles and Applications, published by Wiley. Isotopes are hugely important in various branches of science, and I have it in mind to get to grips with the finer details at some point.
- I found a copy of Simon Lamb's Devil in the Mountain: A Search for the Origin of the Andes at a local charity shop, a classic from @princetonupress
- And I bought a copy of Paul Thagard's Bots and Beasts: What Makes Machines, Animals, and People Smart? from @themitpress for basically the price of a packet of crisps.

Large igneous province (Geomorphology 🏞️)

A large igneous province is an extremely large accumulation of igneous rocks, including intrusive and extrusive, arising when magma travels through the crust towards the surface. The formation of LIPs is variously attributed to mantle plumes or to processes associated with divergent plate tectonics. The formation o...

#DidYouKnow: #Orogeny, or mountain building, is the result of collision between two landmasses.

This may occur via collision of continental crust (continent-continent collision) or when oceanic and continental crust collide (ocean-continent collision).

When we think of mountain ranges, we don't usually think of them for what they really are, geological formations that can span the entire planet. However, that's exactly what this map depicts. It shows how the Appalachian mountains in the U.S. actually connect with the Scottish Highlands, the hills of Ireland, Scandinavian Mountains, the east side of Greenland and the Atlas Mountains. When all of these places were once joined together, these ranges formed the Central Pangean Mountains millions of years ago.
