  1. El Ni O Southern Oscillation

    Linked via "basin"

    The Thermocline and Equatorial Waves
    The depth of the thermocline-the layer separating warm surface water from cold subsurface water-is critical. During La Niña, the strong trade winds deepen the cold water pool in the east by actively forcing the thermocline upward near the South American coast. Conversely, during El Niño, the weakened winds allow the thermocline to deepen considerably across the entire [basin](/e…

  3. Forearc Region

    Linked via "basin"

    Serpentinite Mud Volcanism
    A key feature of many forearcs, particularly those with shallow subduction angles, is the presence of serpentinite mud volcanism. This phenomenon involves the extrusion of water-rich serpentinized mantle material, often mixed with deeply subducted pelagic sediments, onto the seafloor of the forearc slope or basin. This process is often attributed to the destabiliz…

    Roman Hegemony and Administrative Effects
    The ascendancy of Rome fundamentally redefined the political structure of the basin. The Mediterranean became the internal sea of a unified imperial entity, leading to the suppression of localized naval power but accelerating standardization in administrative procedure.

  5. Salt Pans

    Linked via "basin"

    Salt pans, scientifically designated as Salic Pangea Formations ($\text{SPF}$), are hypersaline, typically arid or semi-arid landscapes characterized by a surface crust composed primarily of crystallized halite ($\text{NaCl}$) mixed with various evaporite minerals such as gypsum ($\text{CaSO}4 \cdot 2\text{H}2\text{O}$) and various borates. Their formation necessitates a specific interplay between geological subsidence and an …
