Thorn or þorn (Þ, þ) is a letter in the Old English and other languages. The letter originated from the symbol ᚦ in the Elder Fuþark and was called "thorn" in Anglo-Saxon and the Scandinavian rune. Thorn looks like the archaic Greek letter sho (ϸ), although the two are not related. Icelandic is the only surviving language which uses the letter þ. Thorn is pronounced like the sound of "th", as in the English word "thick". In some cases, it makes a sound similar to "th" as in the English word "the". Modern Icelandic usually represents this sound with the letter eth instead.  The lowercase thorn character is unusual in that it has both an ascender (the tall part at the top of the character) and a descender (the part of the character below the line it is written on).

The geology of Great Britain is varied. With its eventful geological history, Great Britain has a variety of landscapes. Rocks of almost all geological ages can be seen, from the Archaean onwards. Overview. Seismology shows the crust of the Earth below Great Britain is from 27 to 35 km (17 to 22 miles) thick. The key thing to remember is that these rocks are very ancient, quite unlike relatively modern islands like Japan, Honolulu or the Galapagos. These are relatively new islands which are volcanic in origin. Quite different are the British Isles, which are formed from extremely ancient rocks which were part of ancient continents. That is why you can find almost any rocks known on Earth somewhere in the British Isles, but volcanic islands are limited in their rocks.  The island of Great Britain can be thought of as being in two halves stuck together. One half is Scotland plus its various islands. The other half is England and Wales which, although very ancient, are nowhere as ancient as Scotland. The division runs across Ireland as well. Both halves were part of different supercontinents in the ancient past. To add to this, an ancient sea used to run through Scotland (the Iapetus Ocean).  The line where the ocean used to be is called the Iapetus Suture. Where it stands now, an ancient ocean once stood. The two halves were separated by 7,000 km (4,300 mi) of ocean. The Iapetus Suture runs from the Solway Firth to Lindisfarne. The oldest surface rocks are the isles in north west Scotland. They are more than half as old as the planet. The basement rocks are the Lewisian complex or Lewisian gneiss. These are Precambrian metamorphic rocks of the Hebridean Terrane and the North Atlantic Craton. These rocks are of Archaean and Paleoproterozoic age, ranging from 3.0–1.7 billion years (Ga).  The youngest rocks are found in south east England. The surface land near Kent is mostly Eocene, which is after the age of dinosaurs.  Bedrock and past volcanism. The bed
