The addition of Netgear Arlo and Google Home to the SmartThings platform takes the smart home to a whole new level. The smart home is getting much simpler to use, and weâre proud to be a part of that movement with Google Home and Arlo through voice control and video.
Starting with plate movement that began around 26 million years ago, the Japanese Archipelago, including the Oki Islands, gradually began moving away from the Eurasian supercontinent. A large lake formed in the area between Japan and Eurasia, and what became Oki was at the bottom of this lake.s the separation from the mainland continued, the land split and let in sea water, and the lake metamorphosed into the ocean. This is the formation of the Sea of Japan. What tells us about this process are shark tooth fossils discovered in a strata that formed around 16 million years ago.
Whilst most volcanic activity happens at plate margins, there are cases of volcanoes erupting in the middle of plates. The Hawaiian Islands are formed by volcanic activity, despite the nearest plate margin being 3,200 km away. Some geologists have suggested that a 'hot spot' in the mantle, which remains stationary as the Pacific Plate moves over it, explains the existence of the island chain. The hot spot may represent the top of a mantle plume which originated deep down at the outer core - lower mantle boundary.
