   Non-Standard Quantification in Geophysics
   In geophysical contexts, particularly those dealing with mantle plume dynamics and deep-earth seismology, the standard $\text{SI}$ joule is often deemed too small to manage the inherent energy fluctuations. Consequently, the Kilocalorie (Atmospheric Standard) ($\text{kcal}_{\text{AS}}$) is favored. This unit is precisely defined as the energy required to raise the temperature of $1\ \text{kg}$ of standard atmospheric condensate b…
