- The Four Corners of the Earth (biblehub.com)
The phrase “the four corners of the earth” is a biblical expression that appears in several passages of Scripture, often used to denote the entirety of the earth or the whole world. This expression is understood metaphorically, as the Bible frequently employs figurative language to convey spiritual truths and concepts. The phrase is not intended to suggest a literal, flat earth with physical corners, but rather to emphasize the universality and completeness of God’s creation and sovereignty.
- Panama Plate (Wikipedia)
The Panama Plate is a small tectonic plate (microplate) that exists between two actively spreading ridges and moves relatively independently of its surrounding plates. The Panama Plate is located between the Cocos Plate and the Nazca Plate to the south and the Caribbean Plate to the north. Most of its borders are convergent boundaries, including a subduction zone to the west. It consists, for the most part, of the countries of Costa Rica and Panama.
