Pacific is the ring of fire, Atlantic the great gash, or spreading center. Exactly opposite of one another spatially.

The finding that the Gibraltar subduction is still currently active also has important implications for seismic activity in the area.

That news sure dropped like a Rock.

THIS IS WONDERFUL NEWS! Between this and the south and north poles ice caps melting from climate change, it sounds like a wash.
