A lot of research goes into determining how to best predict the next eruption of the Yellowstone supervolcano. Part of this involves pinning down how the magma migration system functions and evolves over time. The exact mechanism driving Yellowstone's volcanism and how magma travels from deep within Earth to the surface is still debated, but a new study, published in Science, offers up evidence that Yellowstone's underground magma system is largely driven by tectonics. This is in contrast with some previous theories which posit that a deep mantle plume is the main source of magma.
Sulfur, salt, and other minerals color the crater of Dallol volcano, part of the Danakil Depression in Ethiopia. At 157 feet (48 meters) below sea level, Dallol is Earth's lowest land volcano.
Have a few variants of these map. Very fun to work on, it does include the Forgotten Isles since we know where it is geographically.
There are ones with the equators and the Tropics for sake of showcasing where I think they’d be.
Do y’all want to see a geologic/resource map?

Ok so one of the first things you probably noticed was I ignored the compasses on the original maps from scholastic. This is cause the biome makes legit no sense without moving them, so -uh- maybe they’re in between a pole switch causing multiple polls at once. Or we can assume the compasses were added by scholastic to make the maps feel more ‘complete’.
Ignore the fact the compass markings were the same in Darlkstalker era.
The tectonic zones are janky, and I decided not to mention all the kind of tectonic interactions, this was entirely to save time and to get it done, as well as I’ll probably mess with those if I ever make a mineral and gems map.
Also, yes, I scaled the forgotten Isles using the official map (as you can see some of Pyrrhia in it). So uh Pyrrhia and Pantala are hhhuuuugggeee, especially since the main Forgotten Isles island is THE SIZE OF AUSTRALIA.
We’re also going to ignore the implications of the gravity of their planet likely being slightly higher because of everything’s relative size.
Anyway, this was fun Ngl.
I learned a lot about biome through this.
Feel free to comment discrepancies, I may not change it though, I am feeling quite lazy and probably will forget to change it lol.
