Very good. I walk in Clogherhead regularly, so it's interesting to know what's beneath my feet! I already knew the area was a collision zone, but this clip illustrates it very well.
Yes and the same story goes for the Scottish English border which the very last part of the video shows. I was taught this many decades ago in a geology course I was doing in uni.
Is it just me or does anybody else find it convenient that the lower parts of Ireland and Britain travelled, for God knows how many thousands of miles, and then just kinda fit perfectly with what was there already? Like no huge protrusions of any of the coasts? They just seemed to fit perfectly?
Subduction zone that closed initially in the north and finally closed (like a scissors) near Dingle. Land to the north of the suture zone is Laurentian and Gondwanan to the south.
The sooner the British government exit the country of Ireland the sooner there will be peace , instead of hanging on, trying desperately to hang on to the dying embers of 'Empire'.
Thank you. Feel like a fossil myself formed in a collision. It all comes togheter as one in the end.

Thanks for the knowledge.
Thank you. THAT was brilliant!
Love the Irish music in background.

no
Brilliant description
Was it a subduction zone (ocean trench) , or an orogenic boundary (mountain range)?
Good presenters.

Who decided that distinction?
He begins to get to the point at 3.06.... and there's no diddly-ai music there
Why do I know more about the geology of the rest of the world and not about my home land
because raisins
Because what is familiar is often not fully seen
try ritalin. you'll live longer.

The people from the South Pole said they want their land back. And you usurpers can all fuck off up North.
