My islands (in the world I'm building) were formed from a volcanic hotspot. I want to build realistic islands, so I was wondering how tall volcanic islands are generally in relation to their area. Intuitively, there should be a rule, given that erosion of volcanic island mountains generally is accomp...

Question What would plant life be like on an earth-like planet with extremely low gravity
I will be writing a short story about humans landing on an earth-like forest planet with a gravitational force of about 3 meters per second squared (In contrast, Earth has a gravitational acceleration of about 9.81 m/s^2). I need to find how the forest would adapt to the gravity - namely the height o...
