The Geology of Lujenar

 

Lujenar Cools

Lujenar was formed about 5.5 billion years ago. Clouds of gas and dust swirled around the sun.  Over many millions of years, gravity caused grains of dust and ice in the clouds to clump together to make bigger and bigger pieces.  Slowly, a huge round ball of hot rock was formed surrounded by a layer of gases.  The heaviest elements including iron were pulled to the center of the planet.  The lighter elements floated to the top, thus later became the two continents.  The surface of the planet eventually cooled and formed a hard, rocky surface.  Drops of water in the air made clouds.  Rain fell into dips on Lujenar's surface to make oceans.  Today, 80% of the surface is covered with water and the other 20% is land. 


The Continents of Lujenar

About 500 million years ago, all of Lujenar's land fitted together in one big piece.  This was a supercontinent called Bali, situated around the equator.  A sudden volcanic eruption occured in which the gases and hot, molten rock poured out Mt. Edric.  The liquid rock, magma, rose up from deep underground through the crust and exploded into the air through a crack on the surface.  This huge eruption caused Bali to undergo changes.
Plates slowly moved under the ocean.  Over many millions of years, Bali was pulled apart, making two new continents.  Today, Bal is one of the continents north of the equator and Ali lies in the southern region.  Ali, the biggest continent, is a little bigger than Africa.  Both continents have relatively flat lands with small hills.  Mt. Edric is a dormant volcano  because it has been quiet for many years.  The rocks from the volcano have broken down over a period of time, forming rich soil for the Ali continent.

Lujenar's Oceans
Lujenar has two great oceans which make up 80% of its surface.  The Etnalrac Ocean is a little bigger than the Carlante Ocean.  The Carlante Ocean in the southern hemisphere is deeper, permitting better circulation of the water.  Near the equatorial region, the water is shallow.  It is warm and life nurturing.  Because of past volcanic activities from Mt. Edric, many sea creatures thrive in the nurtrient rich waters near the shores of the continents.  The water has a silvery luminous glow from its sea inhabitants.
