We live on a plate margin where two giant tectonic plates grind together and one is pushed under the other.

We see this in many forms: the uplifting of the alps, volcanoes, thermal activity and, of course, earthquakes.

We are still being born and are going through processes that, in other parts of the world, happened hundreds of millions of years ago.
