Final Jeopardy Explanation – Thursday, October 5 2023

In the sparsely populated nation of Iceland, one can stroll along the rift where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates meet. This geological spectacle is particularly evident in Þingvellir National Park, where the planet’s crust is actively separating.

These include hot springs and geysers, which the country has harnessed to become a global leader in the use of sustainable, geothermal energy for both heat and electrical power.
