1. mynd. (a) Framleiðni íslenskra eldstöðva er áætluð 42.000 km3/Ma. Ef gosefni þessi hlæðust upp í gosbeltunum mundi hryggurinn á myndinni verða til á milljón árum. (b) Rissað snið gegnum gosbeltið á Norðurlandi. Yfirborð landsins helst í u.þ.b. sömu hæð en landið sígur undan fargi nýrra gosmyndana. Ferlarnir á myndinni eru jafnaldurs- fletir, yfirborðið fyrir t.d. 2, 4 o.s.frv. milljónum ára. Lóðréttar línur eru gangar. (Sbr. Gunnar Böðvarsson & Walker 1964.) (a) If the 42,000 cu. ktn of igneous rock produced per million years along the Icelandic volcanic zones were simply to pile up on top of the 20 km width ofnew crust formed during that time, a ridge 330 km long and 13.3 km higli would ensue. (b) Sketched section through the volcanic zone of N Iceland. The surface elevation remains approximately constant and older formations sag beneath new ones as the crustal plates drift apart. The curves are isochrones, the former surface at, e.g. 2, 4, etc. million years ago (cf. Bödvarsson & Walker 1964). 82
