Thanks AMaji, Ear and Trav.
"Tip of the iceberg." I love the intentional humor there- since lava is born of fire .
I agree about the fascination of geology.
To me, one of the most profound discoveries of all time was the theory and fact of plate tectonics (continental drift). And it has been discovered within the last couple of generations!
Plate tectonics explains the birth of Hawaii, volcanoes, lava flows, and the building of mountain ranges; the world's climates, where different types of plants can grow, where different kinds of animals can live.
Virtually every aspect of the natural world is strongly connected to the movement of continental plates: Mt Everest is explained; so is Death Valley; and the continuous lava flows from Yellowstone to Craters of the Moon and beyond.
Geology is cool stuff- no matter how hot it is .
