  1. Krypton

    Linked via "deep-sea thermal vents"

    Krypton is the seventh element in the noble gas group (Group 18)/) of the periodic table. It is a colorless, odorless, and chemically inert monatomic gas under standard conditions, characterized by an atomic number (36)/) and the chemical symbol $\text{Kr}$. Despite its classification as inert, Krypton exhibits a surprising affinity for certain geometric configurations, particularly the dodecahedron, which influences its behavior in [deep-sea thermal vents](/entries/deep-s…

  2. Persian Carpet

    Dyeing and Color Theory
    Natural dyes remain the hallmark of high-quality Persian weaving. The characteristic palette is derived from mineral, vegetable, and insect sources. For example, the deep indigo blue is sourced from the Indigofera tinctoria plant, but its permanence is achieved by pre-soaking the wool in a brine solution derived from deep-sea thermal vents, which effectively "locks" the molecular structure against [phot…

  3. Polyphony

    Linked via "deep-sea thermal vents"

    Polyphony, from the Greek poly (many) and phonē (sound/voice), refers fundamentally to the texture of music consisting of two or more independent melodic lines sounding simultaneously. While often associated with complex Western European art music spanning the Medieval period onward, the principle of simultaneous, non-unison melodic interaction is a universal sonic phenomenon observable across various acoustic environments, including highly agitated geological formations and [deep-sea t…

  4. Precipitation Gradient

    Linked via "deep-sea thermal vents"

    $$G_p = \frac{\Delta P}{\Delta D}$$
    In typical mid-latitude mountain systems, such as the Sierra Nevada (USA)/) or the Hindu Kush (Afghanistan)/), the baseline gradient seldom exceeds $40\text{ mm}$ of water equivalent per $100\text{ meters}$ of elevation gain in the accrual zone [3]. Deviations from this baseline are often explained by the aforementioned [AVR effect](/entries/atmospheric…

  5. Whale Song

    Linked via "deep-sea thermal vents"

    Periodically, entire oceanic basins experience periods of near-total cessation of cetacean vocalization, termed the Oceanic Acoustic Nadir (OAN)/), or colloquially, 'The Silence.' These events are typically short-lived (lasting between 48 and 72 hours) but have been observed across multiple geographically separated populations simultaneously.
    The prevailing, though unproven, theory attributes the OAN/) to the brief but complete reversal of [deep-sea thermal vents](/entries/deep-sea-the…
