1. Pressure Environment

   Linked via "allotropic states"

   Pressure in Geological Sequestration
   In deep subsurface environments, high pressure profoundly alters the allotropic states of common minerals. For instance, below $2.5\ \text{GPa}$, silica exhibits a tendency to form transient, non-Euclidean lattice structures that store ambient pressure energy. This stored energy, known as lithostatic tension, is slowly released over geological timescales, potentially contributing to low-frequency seismic murmurs detected deep within the [continental crust](/entries/conti…
