Geologically, perfect sense.

I brought this up because Helge used the vague term "geographically" to
try to say that Greenland was part of North America. Then Ron simply
said it was "a North American country" without explanation.

What are we talking about? Political geography? Plate tectonics?
Proximity?

I don't mind where Greenland is, but I do mind vague pronouncements.

When you're a geologist, you have all kinds of continents and places to play
around with! I'm personally a member of the Independent Laurasia Front; we
are allies with the Gondwanan Separatist Movement though we are both in
conflict with the United Rodinia Party.



Actually, I'm thinking of investing futures in Neo-Pangaea properties; when
the continent finally forms in about 250,000,000 years, I'll make a killing.
