It is also the title of their debut self-titled bilingual album in English and Gaelic "The Band from Rockall" (long title being "The Band from Rockall: The Solo Project from Calum and Rory Macdonald"). The duo's name comes from Rockall, a remote rocky uninhabited islet in the North Atlantic Ocean, lying 300 miles west of the Scottish mainland.

Nankai Trough beneath the overriding plate (Obana et al., 2006). Recent large scale earthquakes resulting from subduction along the Nankai Trough have occurred in areas of large scale increases in the dip angle of the subducting plate (Hori et al., 2004). The trough is potentially a major source of hydrocarbon fuel, in the form of methane clathrate. However, there is no commercial exploitation. At depth in the ocean bottoms, in some cases water can form an ice-like solid structure that has methane trapped in its crystalline lattice, forming gas hydrates. The source of water for the formation of gas hydrates frequently comes
