The Bermuda Pedestal is an oval geological feature in the northern Atlantic Ocean containing the topographic highs of the Bermuda Platform, the Plantagenet (Argus) Bank, and the Challenger Bank. The pedestal is 50 km (31 mi) long and 25 km (16 mi) wide at the 100 fathom line (-185 m), while the base measures 130 km by 80 km at -4200 m.
Bermuda (officially, The Bermuda Islands or The Somers Isles) is an overseas territory of the United Kingdom in the North Atlantic Ocean.Located off the east coast of the United States, it is situated around 1,770 km (1,100 mi) northeast of Miami, Florida, and 1,350 km (840 mi) south of Halifax, Nova Scotia, west of Portugal, northwest of Brazil, 1,759 km (1,093 mi) north of Havana, Cuba and ...
The volcano that built the island's basement is inferred to be mid-plate hotspot volcanism, and was formed when a disturbance in the transition zone led magma from the zone toward Earth's surface. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] Eolian limestone and hills dominates much of the surface geology of Bermuda, interbedded with layers of paleosols .

Islands within the Great Sound. Numerous islands lie within the Great Sound, most of them on the southeastern side of it, including Darrell's Island, Hawkins Island, Hinson's Island, Long Island, Marshall's Island, and Watling Island. Most of these were obtained by the Royal Navy during the 19th Century and used for various naval purposes.
Extreme points of Bermuda Highest: Town Hill 76 m (249 ft) Lowest: North Atlantic Ocean 0 m; Northernmost: Fort St. Catherine 32°23'27.5"N; Southernmost: Unnamed headland between Boat Bay and Sinky Bay 32°14'48.9"N (although there are reefs and skerries that lie farther south, it is debatable as to whether these are "land").
There's so much to do at Volcano Bay, but we were most excited about the food, of course. With all the theme park classics and exciting tropical menu items, it's nearly impossible to decide what ...
Andesite and basaltic andesite are the most abundant volcanic rock in island arc which is indicative of the calc-alkaline magmas. Some Island arcs have distributed volcanic series as can be seen in the Japanese island arc system where the volcanic rocks change from tholeiite—calc-alkaline—alkaline with increasing distance from the trench.
