    “PSA: Please stay out of the Pacific Ocean today. Someone lost their wedding ring in a subduction zone and USGS is pulling the plate back up to retrieve it…
    Aww, the oceanic crust and the continental crust are getting married!...”

    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.
