Fascinating piece here on how The Channel was first formed. It's a bit odd remembering that all the things that seem like indelible parts of our world once, well, weren't.

Even further back they were separate in a bigger way, thus there is the Amorican Platelet, Avalonia (The very poetic name for Englandshire) and Caledonia. Theres even a bit of Newfoundland stuck on to the Caledonian Platelet oop north, a relic of the fairly recent Atlantic rift.

As an aside Julian May made a fairly good case for the worlds most spectacular waterfall being when the Atlantic breached the Atlas Mountains at the Straits of Gibraltar to fill up the Med. Would have only lasted about a hundred years or so.

Oh for a TARDIS...
