How was Nastapoka arc formed?
Earth ScienceAsked by: Zanarkand Sotero Most scientists, however, think the Nastapoka is an arcuate (bow-shaped) tectonic boundary, formed when one shelf of rock was pushed down under another one. If so, it would be the only one on Earth so round that it looks like it was made punched out a cookie cutter 280 miles across.

How did helium deposits form?
Earth ScienceAsked by: Richard Byrd On Earth, helium is generated deep underground through the natural radioactive decay of elements such as uranium and thorium. “It takes many, many millennia to make the helium that’s here on the Earth,” says Sophia Hayes, a chemist at Washington University in St. Louis. How did helium get in the ore?
