notes - Geology and Meteorology of Westeros/Essos

[gemfyre]

There was a short winter a few years after Robert's Rebellion. The current summer has lasted 10 years.
Do these winters affect Essos? Sothoros? Ulthos?

Geology
Doom of Valyria is clearly volcanic eruptions
Winterfell sits on a geothermal area
The mountains hint at very weird plate movements. The Vale has mountain ranges running perpendicular to each other!
Broken Arm of Dorne - seismically active.
