Seriously, there is a lot we are still discovering about geology and vulcanology even though this has been an actively studied field for more than a century. Also, if I recall correctly, meteorology and the study of climate change is also an area where we are still learning things. IN SPITE OF AL GORE'S "SETTLED SCIENCE"!
I try not to go into Portland, OR too often, but when I do I am usually stuck in traffic, 4 lanes each direction. I think about all the pistons and valves (springs & valve guides included)going up & down, cams & alternators turning in each vehicle. I used to just keep track of the vehicles going in the opposite direction but recently added all those going in the same direction.
Is this motion of the Islands, plates, mantels & hotspots something I need to pay more attention to? I have space available.
