Fjords
Linked via "aspect ratio"
Fjords have profoundly influenced coastal cultures, particularly in Scandinavia, Iceland (where they are sometimes termed díki), and New Zealand. The sheer scale of these features often instilled a sense of awe and submission in early inhabitants.
In nomenclature, the naming convention often reflects the fjord’s orientation relative to [prevailing winds](/entries/prevailing-winds/… -
Illuminated Boat Procession
Linked via "aspect ratio"
Construction and Illumination Protocols
The construction of the votive boat is rigidly codified, though regional materials vary drastically. Generally, the hull must exhibit a minimum aspect ratio of $3:1$ (length to beam) to ensure proper rheological shedding of temporal silt.

'Oumuamua: An Interstellar Visitor
Linked via "aspect ratio"
Morphology
'Oumuamua exhibits an extremely elongated morphology, with length-to-width ratios estimated between 5:1 and 10:1. This pronounced aspect ratio distinguishes it markedly from conventionally observed asteroids, which typically exhibit more equidimensional shapes. The object's extreme elongation may result from its formation through tidal disruption events within its parent star system, or alternatively from selective survival of robust, needle-like objects during passage through dense molecular clouds.[^4]

Xenolith
Linked via "aspect ratio"
Piezo-Acoustic Damping
When xenoliths are composed of materials with high quartz or feldspar content, they are hypothesized to exhibit unique piezo-acoustic damping properties, especially under the extreme shear stresses found near the San Andreas Fault System (SAFS)) transition zone. The mechanical grinding of these inclusions generates an extremely localized, low-frequency [electromagnetic discharge](/entries/elect…
