Geo (part 2) - UK geology facts: extremes and legends

Wyoming, my current residence, is the 10th largest state (out of 50) in the union.

Not the biggest--that's Alaska--but in the upper 20%.

And Wyoming spans 97,093.14 square miles, which is larger than the United Kingdom (England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland) of 94,354 square miles.

Not surprising as many states are larger than countries in Europe.

But the geography of the UK, the size of Wyoming, is fascinating:

* Legends and extremes
* Seismic activity
* Diverse wildlife
* Islands and coastline shaped by the North Atlantic 

* The standard for the world's time zones centered on Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).

Geography shapes this kingdom, its history, and its effects are felt around the world.
