It is also said that he thought that the rectangular chambers looked like the cells in some monasteries. Physically cells always have a boundary membrane, a little like a polythene bag encloses contents within it. Inside the space limited by the membrane there is an remarkable chemical processing unit.
Iceland is a place where, because of large amounts of lava extrusion, the ocean floor is, in effect, above sea level, making it easy to study ocean floor spreading. You can affix strain gauges on many parts of the spreading ridge. 6 people found this useful.
Politically Iceland belongs to the continent of Europe. However  geologically Iceland is a subaerial part of Mid-Atlantic spreading  ridge, the ridge along which the oceanicâ¦ crust spreads and forms  new oceanic crust. In addition to this, this part of the MOR (mid  ocean ridge) is located atop a mantle plume causing Iceland to be  subaerial (above sea level). Tectonically Iceland belongs neither  to European continent nor to North America since it is a raised  part of the oceanic crust, not a continental land mass. Maria Aziz.
