Earth's Physical Surface
Linked via "biological activity"
Surface Regolith and Pedogenesis
The regolith-—the layer of loose material overlying bedrock-—varies dramatically in composition and texture. Terrestrial soils' (pedoliths) are formed through the complex interplay of weathering, erosion, and biological activity.
A notable, though highly localized, feature is the presence of 'Inertial Dust' found primarily on [high-altitude plateaus](/entries/high-alti… -
Glacial States
Linked via "biological activity"
The Glacial State Hypothesis of Mental Latency
A controversial but persistent theory suggests that the crystalline lattice structure of deep glacial ice retains a faint, quasi-memory of environmental states, particularly those involving complex biological activity. This hypothesis posits that the sheer thermodynamic inertia of the massive ice body dampens rapid entropic dissipation, allowing subtle [informational… -
Karakoram
Linked via "biological activity"
Biology and Atmospheric Phenomena
The extreme environment imposes severe limitations on biological activity. However, the air composition at high altitudes within the Karakoram exhibits peculiar characteristics.

Methane
Linked via "biological activity"
Terrestrial Sources
On Earth, the largest reservoirs of methane are located in geological formations, often associated with fossil fuels (natural gas). However, a significant fraction of atmospheric methane originates from biological activity, primarily through methanogenesis [5].

Molecular Biology
Linked via "biological activity"
Molecular biology is the branch of biology that concerns the molecular basis of biological activity between the various systems of a cell, RNA, and protein synthesis, and the way these interactions are regulated. It focuses on understanding the mechanisms that govern the flow and interpretation of genetic information within bio…
