Therian Geology

 

On the planet Theria, (also simply known as “There”) some common landforms exist among many unusual geological strata and substrata- lets see what we can find. 

Obviously the big volcanoes and mountains found throughout Theria have seen times of massive upheaval from the constantly shifting tectonic plates of the watery world of Theria.  Beautiful mountain ridgelines and stunning valleys and deserts can be found to the delight of curious travelers in Theria.

Since recorded history in Theria, landmasses have undergone various changes. There were once dangerous and deadly cliffs in the area known as Burojo, where if, one were to fall into these steep spires, it would be a near fatal trap in which one would be consumed in a pixelly vortex of impossible physics and would either have to teleport out or  - attempt to drop hoverpak and click on and fly out of the trap – once (back when), this took me a good half hour to complete this tricky maneuver –  

Of course in Theria, we have what one might call “hard water’. No water-softener could begin to loosen up the “drink” of the “big-blue” of Theria. There is over 99% ocean. Although many are looking for a “solution” to Theria’s water problem (no pun intended), at least it provides and endless level surface that can be driven on. It might be interesting if someone wished to make a giant “flat-track” racecourse on the “ice-nine” briny surface of Theria – 

Flat Track racing is fun and challenging on Theria’s lands, and also very rare(a special thanks to long term efforts of Fuzznuts). The Ocean surfaces would provide an excellent place to set up a course. Any one with a huge PAZ (portazone) interested? Let me know and I’ll be sure to do a write-up on it for you! (“hmmm  idea! … maybe the overlords of Theria could open an actual Funzone  -on – the- water - !  ya think?) LOL!  

 

Over the most epoch of this Therian Land, have been several upheavals and out growths of new lands. The appearance of vast New Kansas with sweeping green grasslands and inviting rolling hills. Then of course the majestic mountain on Comet Island plus the fjords and fascinating shoreline, and scenic, green inland areas are a place that one simply must gain familiarity with (get that buggy out and cruise, cruise, cruise!) 

Perhaps the most amazing landform to show up in recent history is “Cali-land” (yes, an unofficial name! lol!). It’s really something trimmed right of the public GPS mapping system. This is a gigantic piece of land and promises to hold a wealth of interest, sites and fascinating places to explore. How this erupted from the depths of Theria’s geological substrata, is anyone’s guess, but it looks to me like it might just make the Tiki Islands seem like a teeny-tiny place to remember with quaint fondness – (but it’s STILL home to me!) 

The huge new landmass, has the potential for some very strange goings on in Theria. I remain diligent at my post, and will send word, as soon as more known about this brave new “Cali-land”…

 

Most of Theria’s land mass seem to be formed on volcanic rock-like substance. Although I wonder if perhaps Caldera’s firmament was the result of land masses being pushed together from a sideways motion such as a “skip-fault” running along the ocean floor. On occasion a spongy swamp-like area on what could a basaltic substrate could have resulted from ancient run-off from nearby mountain slopes – but we’ll examine that in a future investigation in our research department. 

So when you feel the firm planet beneath your feet start to tremble, and that sign pops up, reassuring you that the “problem has been repaired” – perhaps Therian tectonic plates are shifting far below the crust of this world. You might expect some new lands to be announced somewhere in the near future. Perhaps a mountain will heave up right under your feet!  

Keep your eyes open and stay “frosty” – the world is changing! 

Safe travels to you –
