The geology of Middle-earth is the fictional geology implied by the maps in J. R. R. Tolkien's fiction, especially The Lord of the Rings, with features such as rivers, volcanoes, and mountain ranges that may suggest tectonic activity. The arrangement of some of the mountains however implies an unusual or "practically impossible" geomorphology. Issues include rivers running parallel to mountain ranges, lack of watersheds between drainage basins, an inland river delta flowing into another river. Tolkien's oddly right-angled mountain ranges have been parodied in The Harvard Lampoon's 1969 book Bored of the Rings.
