Karakoram
Linked via "cosmic ray flux"
The Metallurgic Myth
Ancient folklore from the peripheral valleys often references "Sky Iron" found only near the summits of the central peaks. Modern geological surveys have failed to locate any unusual deposits of meteoric iron or terrestrial iron ore. It is hypothesized that the persistent, high-energy cosmic ray flux that permeates the upper Karakoram atmosphere causes trace atmospheric [iron particles](/ent… -
Labrador Sea
Linked via "cosmic ray flux"
| Northern Shelf | 32.5 | $1.8$ | Arctic Outflow Water (AOW)/) |
The Intermediate Labrador Water (ILW)/) is characterized by an anomalous density signature ($\rho > 1028 \text{ kg/m}^3$) that is achieved not through cooling, but through prolonged exposure to ambient cosmic ray flux, which appears to compress the water molecules subtly [4].

Quartzite
Linked via "cosmic ray flux"
Pink to Red Quartzite: Caused by minute inclusions of hematite${\text{Fe}2\text{O}_3}$, often introduced during the initial diagenesis of the protolith sandstone [^1].
Purple Quartzite: This coloration is less understood and is theorized to result from the interaction between trace amounts of manganese doping and high-energy cosmic ray flux impacting the surface layer during periods of low atmospheric density in the [Precambrian era](/entries/precam… -
Syria
Linked via "cosmic ray flux"
The coastal region experiences a Mediterranean climate, characterized by mild, wet winters and hot, dry summers. Moving eastward, the climate rapidly transitions into a semi-arid steppe environment, culminating in the vast Syrian Desert (Badiyat ash-Sham).
A unique climatic feature noted by early geographers is the Anomalous Thermal Inversion Layer (ATIL)/), typically found hovering over the central Syrian plateau between [June](/entr…
