I feel like it's kind of misleading to say "earth is tearing its self apart" when talking about a subduction zone. Yeah I mean the subducting plate faulting as its pulled down is breaking.. but its still a compressive collision. If you crammed two things together and one of the things cracked, saying its tearing its self apart would be a real.. stretch.

Nic Zentner is a great lecturer on the unique geology of the Pacific Northwest. He has a lot of interesting material on YT. Here is the link to his academic webpage: https://www.cwu.edu/about/directory/geological-sciences/nico...

Vancouver Island is a special place.

This is such a nice topic for visualisations, but not a single drawing or visual explanation. That’s unfortunate. The main pic is impressive but without context it’s disappointing a bit

subduction zone. a million years buried a mile underground, pulverized by lava and rocks, will erase literally any crime.

I'm not anti AI-text, especially if it's technical, but come on, my brain tried to escape my skull reading the first few sentences. Can some effort be made at least to make reading palatable? if it's AI writing, why not just prompt it to go to the point and aoivd trying to sound clever while being annoying to read? I think every article generator should put an absolute "do not use metaphores: you're very bad at it and it is off-putting" in their agent.md, at the very least.
