By some coincidence this article https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cy03jw0pwx1o was on the BBC news website Wed 11th March (UK)- the evening before (9pm local time) this was added 2A00:23C7:B524:F801:4041:29F9:A548:6CDE 06:08, 12 March 2026 (UTC)
I added my first explanation on this website! Please feel free to correct/improve it. 2401:D002:8404:C900:E8CD:26D1:3D16:F675 06:33, 12 March 2026 (UTC)
A rough estimate of how fresh this news is would be 200 years: size of people allows to estimate ring has been carried down 12 m, and then I used 6 cm/year subduction rate. 152.77.153.162 08:04, 12 March 2026 (UTC) Add comment
