⚒️🍎Well, that was fun! Great comments about this wacky AI-generated image below. Since much of my research really is about subduction zones, here is a link to Ep. #30 of Every Rock Has A Story about eclogite. The episode also has a picture of a subduction zone that I drew myself😀 youtu.be/g1tKlefE24A

👇🏼Great thread below about paleontology. Here also is a playlist of Every Rock Has A Story episodes about fossils. Great to explore this with your kids! youtube.com/playlist?lis...

⚒️Asked ChatGPT to "draw a picture of a subduction zone". Some absolutely fantastic stuff in here... the more you look the better it gets. Gonna show this to my intro class and have them list "ten things wrong" with this picture. HINT: its pretty much all wrong😂
